The Lost Coast

In the 1920's, when they built the Coast Highway in Northern California, engineers decided a stretch of coast from Northern Mendocino County through the King Range in Humboldt County was too rugged for a road.  Thus, this expanse of magnificent coastline was soon isolated and became known as the "Lost Coast".

Wildlife Within Reach

We are home to many deer that like to hang out in the campground and on the golf course.  We also have bald eagles, osprey, and foxes.  Not to mention our many sea creatures, such as whales, seals, sea lions, otters and fish of many different species. Take a walk on the beach during low tide and enjoy the many tidepools.  

Seaside Community

The small community of Shelter Cove, on the coast just below King Range, lies at the core of the Lost Coast.  Being cut off from the rest of California has helped Shelter Cove remain a peaceful seaside resort with peerless scenery that is an oasis for outdoor enthusiasts.  

Fun Events & Activities at Shelter Cove Campground.
