Well, I absolutely adore Humboldt and the city of Arcata. It is absolutely beautiful there and I love how open minded the people are. I don’t think you will feel that you are on a permanent camping trip. There are a lot of "city" things to do. You just might need to travel out of Arcata. While it is very laid-back, you won’t be pressured into smoking weed.
Yes, the majority of the people who live there are "hippies" but I’ve noticed that they aren’t that-in-your-face-shoving-it-down-your-throat about their ideals. It is a VERY friendly area. It was quite a culture shock for me, also from So Cal Suburbia, to see people actually being nice to me for no reason at all.
While it is somewhat secluded, it isn’t COMPLETELY secluded. A quick drive up north will take you into an area that has more of a "city" feel to it.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to email me.
