Hi everyone!
I'm planning a trip up to the North Coast next week and am seeking some advice.
I'll be traveling with my wife, two kids (6 & 4) and dog from central California and the plan is to get to Fort Bragg, play at the beach and camp at Jackson Demonstration State Forest. The next morning, head to USAL for camp, a place I've been twice before. From there, we'll roughly be following the OTG Lost Coast 4x4 route and staying at either AW Way or Matthole Beach. We'll skip Eureka and continue on the OTG "Alternative Route" through the Avenue of the Giants.
I don't want to camp in the State Park due to the crowds and was planning to continue heading down the 101 and was curious if someone could recommend a quiet place to camp in the Mendocino National Forest not too far from the 101? I've looked at the OTG route but am having trouble deciding the best place to enter.
Any advice is much appreciated!
