From U.S. 101 at Cloverdale California: Take SR 128 W 56 miles to where SR128 becomes N. Highway 1/CA-1. Take N Highway 1/CA-1 north 3.5 miles to where you cross the Albion River Bridge. Immediately after crossing the bridge take the first right at the Albion River Campground sign. The campground is on the river below the bridge. From Fort Bragg, California Head south on N. Highway 1/CA-1 for 16 miles. The campground entrance is the second left after you pass the Albion River Inn. The campground entrance will be on the left immediately before the Albion River Bridge. Look for the Albion Campground sign on the left side of the road at the entrance.
I highly recommend you take your business elsewhere with the horrible new management. They implemented 41 ridiculous rules and new management are extremely rude and treats customers like children. Arrived to a grumpy looking guy who did not greet me and clearly did not want me there, just stared me down and made me feel uncomfortable. They constantly go around giving people ugly looks and always have something negative to say. Sad to see what used to be such a nice campground rapidly go down the drain 😔
There are 41 new rules at this campground. This has been a fishing destination for my family for generations unfortunately the new campground managers have really soured the experience with the new rules and they are not very accommodating to people who are traveling great distances to visit. They turned my friends away for arriving 2 hours early even though the campsite they reserved was empty and ready for their arrival. They drove to Mendocino rather than pay extra day use fees for the 2 hour early arrival. They will offer you a free coffee in the store under this fake veil of kindness but then they want extra day use fees if you arrive early. They no longer send you gate codes so you must arrive when there is a gate attendant and you can no longer launch a boat before 6am.
pretty ridiculous what they are doing to this fishing destination.
We have camped here for years. We GREATLY APPRECIATE the new enforced rules. We were starting to consider camping elsewhere after having kids. Now that the off leash dogs and late night chaos is in check, we will continue to make this our North Coast camping spot.
Beautiful and majestic location along the northern coast of California. The fishery is phenomenal and the views are amazing. Campsites are extremely tight but manageable. Too bad the most recent camp host/manager has terrible customer service and prefers to hide or block any negative reviews on their facebook page. It's unfortunate because we've been camping there for several years now but will not be going back any time soon. Hopefully others will have a better experience than our last one.
The camp managers Terry and Dennis are really nice people and have cleaned it up a lot. The beach is beautiful, the facilities are well maintained. We had a perfect weekend camping and kayaking the river with family.
