My lady and I were getting a bit stir crazy and needed some adventure. Chamberlain Creek Waterfall seemed like a good idea even tho it was raining. We packed our hiking gear and went looking for adventure! We found it! What an amazing place off the beaten path. We've been here before and it wasn't anything to spectacular tho this time it was magical! The waterfall was flowing beautifully and everything was so vibrant!! We pitched our tarp after a little hike around and enjoyed the night in the rain! If you're into adventure, seek this place out. You will not be dissatisfied.

This place is beautiful, wonderful and awesome. If you like nature and outdoors and trees then this is the place for you. The redwoods are amazing to walk amongst on any of the trails.
The camping is great but primitive and it costs about 15 per night. Cash paid at the site. No online options. They may accept checks too.
There's a river to cool off in and lots of turn outs on the 20 to take a rest or stop to hike a bit.
It's not as hot as it is if your coming from the East but not as cold if you're coming from the West.
It's a great trip on your way to the beach at Fort Bragg.
There's lots to see and do in the forest.
I spent 4 days camping at the Dunlap campground in the Jackson Demonstration Forrest. I had an amazing time and the serenity in the Redwoods was amazing! This campground is right in between Willits and Ft Bragg so if you forgot anything town is easily accessible and only about a 20min drive from camp.
The Jackson demonstration forest was a great place to forage some mushrooms. You do need a permit, which was affordable and last a year. Otherwise it's a great place to hike and enjoy an afternoon. It's pretty remote and the roads are gravel with a lot of logging roads. There was a porta potty at one of the parking sites, but otherwise there is not much infrastructure (bathrooms, water, etc), so be sure to bring plenty of water and food.
Great place to walk/hike or observe mushrooms growing....just a heads up you need a permit to harvest wild edible mushrooms to take home. Beautiful place would be 5 star but in the past 3 visits of this place there was trash dumped everywhere.
