Getting Outdoors

Unsurprisingly, the beach is one of the park's main attractions. The park's four-mile stretch of shore is rarely crowded, making it a firm favorite for beachcombers in search of driftwood and other ocean treasures. Start your surfside stroll at the Point Arena Lighthouse and end at Alder Creek Beach, another prime place to watch for whales. Avid anglers will also find a new favorite fishing spot here — Brush Creek and Alder Creek are home to an abundance of steelhead.

Camping at Manchester State Park

Park your rental motorhome at Manchester State Park's campground, featuring 40 primitive family sites which can accommodate RVs up to 30 feet long. The maximum length for trailers is 22 feet. You'll enjoy standard amenities here, including a picnic table, fire ring, flush toilets, and a dump station. Hookups aren't available.

Exploring the Area

Point Arena Lighthouse and Museum is a must-see for history buffs camping at Manchester State Park. Climb to the top of the lighthouse and soak up the views of the Pacific churning below. You can even book a full moon tour for a unique view of the ocean. The museum features artifacts from the lighthouse and the native Pomo peoples who inhabited this area. Be sure to stop by the whale watch room, which provides an excellent viewing area in addition to informative displays. A gift shop is also available to visitors to remember the special day in Point Arena.

Dale and Gordon were fantastic hosts and our trip in their Travato will never be forgotten. We explored redwoods up in Humboldt area (Burlington Campground) as well as many magnificent locations along the coast north of Fort Bragg. Both Dale and Gordon were so responsive and answered all of our questions we had during the planning stages of our trip. Their van definitely had positive vibes...and we hope we added some! There is a good chance we will rent this van again...if you have been thinking about doing it...just do it! It is one of the best ways to travel and really get out in the expansive beauty of Northern California.

The vehicle was exactly as described and everything worked well. Dale and Gordon couldn't have been nicer - they gave us a thorough walk through, patiently answered all questions before and during our trip, and even gave us home made cookies before we headed out! The power batteries also charge when you drive, which was essential in our case given that we had very little sun nor used campgrounds during our trip. Overall, excellent experience!
