We stayed here from Sunday until Friday, and had the most wonderful experience. My boyfriend and our Dobie stayed in the cabin closest to the entrance (might be the only cabin available via air bnb as most of the park is camp sites for tents and RVs, we did see another newer looking cabin on the property but I’m not sure if it’s available or privately owned). The park itself is nestled in the forest, and features a half mile trail through the woods that loops around the property. It’s extremely quiet and the owners are very kind. Patrick was amazing and made our stay awesome. I understand they recently bought the park less than a year ago, and are working are getting it more cleaned up. There are several secluded camp sites in the forest behind the RV area that have a lot of potential. The location of Mystic Forest is perfect as well if you’re looking to explore both north and south Redwoods as it’s right in the middle. Almost everything we did was within half an hour drive. With that being said, my only suggestions for improvement are on the cabin itself. The mattress is really really hard, it felt like a sheet of cement so we opted to sleep on the fold out futon our entire stay after the first night. There is also a musty odor around the bathroom especially, and furniture. I don’t feel like the cabin wasn’t clean, just old and needs a little more renovating. It didn’t bother us too much because we were only in the cabin to cook meals and sleep, but it was a pretty obvious smell. Our experience here was so relaxing I did not want to remove a star for those things although I normally would. I’d stay again but probably bring our own bedding. Maybe it’s something that can eventually be solved. If you’re looking to explore the Redwood parks and forests, I highly recommend...
Read moreI camped here in late August of 2023. Patrick was an amazing host and the campsite was BEAUTIFUL! There were people that came and went but I was the only one that stayed there the whole weekend. Campsites are of good size, my 12 ft tent fit in site number 9 along with the table. The fire ring was a little close to the site behind me but no one was there and there were no fires allowed so it didn't really matter. Honestly it probably wouldn't bug during the regular season because the other side's fire ing was farther away. There's a neat tree that's been hollowed out that you can walk into in the campsites. It is exceedingly green and feels like you are in a mystic forest, hence the name. In order to get to the bathrooms it is a bit of a walk, but no more than you can expect from a state park campground. Also the trail goes through a neat little covered bridge over a creek, although it spits you out between two RV sites so just be careful to follow the correct way out. The bathrooms are flush toilets installs and they have showers as well. There is a game room on site and tons of trails and various plants to harvest depending on the season. There is also a store on site that has plenty of goods as well as souvenirs. Reception was good via Verizon. Gas is nearly directly across the street and trees of mystery is also very close by. Significantly more scenic than any other campsite in the area and far from what you would expect from the campsites at your average RV park. 100% would stay again and...

I found Mystic Forest a couple mi this when planning our families summer vacation. I had checked out some other places but had a good feeling about this one. I called and spoke with Carolyn and knew we needed to come. I am so glad we stayed here!
The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. We were close to all the Redwood National Forest locations we wanted to see. We took a day to travel south. Carolyn helped us map out what was best to see.
The property is beautiful. We lived staying here. You have this beautiful connection of Redwood Forest and amazing trees. There is a cute walk around the property. The kids loved playing mini golf. Did I mention there is a free min golf course! The kids loved it!
Our site was epic. Very quite. Really the freshener our family needed in there interesting times.
The bathrooms were super clean. Free showers! We’re still new to this.
You can get ice and firewood onsite. There is a great little gift shop. We picked up some shirts for the kids and postcards to show our family what they are missing. Don’t forget that we grabbed an ice cream!
The location ideal. The property beautiful The spot refreshing But Tom and Carolyn are amazing. Thanks for...
