Is humboldt a sketch place to go camping?
I am going camping for 3-4 nights next thursday with some friends and we were planning on going up to humboldt somewhere, prolly near the redwoods. But then someone told me that it is sketch to camping out there becuase of all the grow operations.
Is it chill? and if so where should i go (i want to be near the ocean)?
Also if humboldt is sketch where else should i go? I live in San Fransisco and am willing to drive up to 5 hours to get there and am trying to be near the ocean.

Humboldt is a cool place to camp. Most of the grow operations take place inland and in the hills. If you just want to camp by the coast, it should be no problem. Really, you don’t even need to go all the way to Humboldt. Check out Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Casper, and that area on the Mendo coastline. It’s helluv sweet! Hiking, beaches, sunsets; the works! Have a great time…:o)

As long as your not walking on to property that is obviously private, I would not worry too much about it. I live on Mendocino coast and there are plenty of great camping spots- There are alot of nice camping spots of off Hwy 20- (between Willits and Fort Bragg) and also many nice camping spots along Hwy 1 from Fort Bragg to Gualala..if you want ocean. Good Luck 🙂

I have been camping at Patricks Point and it was not sketch at all. It is nice, but it is a camp ground if you are looking at going somewhere more open.
A lot of the growing happens a little bit more inland, so try to stay more near the ocean and not anywhere private.
Here is a link to the park:

I heard Berryessa is a good place to go camping at.
