Van Duzen County Park - Pamplin Grove — Attraction in California

This is NOT that other posted campground! That's FARTHER down!!Swimmers Delight. This one sucks! It's spread out widely, the first 3 campsites the worst due to the hike to even reach the bathroom. (Photo 1&2)The other sites below aren't much better. It's right off of Highway 36(photo 8) so you have logger trucks running from 6am till 8pm. (Photo 16 blue/orange truck) The noise is not ideal for relaxing in the woods. There are no hiking trails or maintained trails, nor camp host (site is falling into the river), or firewood collecting.

They also have change for the showers. We spent some time playing with the stand-up paddle board and soaking up the scenery. I highly recommend stopping by here and...

If you're looking for an outdoor wedding venue, where you and your family can have a low-key camping atmosphere, then look no more because I think you've found the perfect one! There's no cell phone reception so you'll be sure to have that unplugged ceremony that every couple hopes for. Instead of being on their phones your guests will be able to fully celebrate and spend time with each other. This space is great and offers a lot of great spaces for camping, as well as wedding photo opportunities! We've enjoyed all the weddings we've photographed here, and look forward to more...
