Getting Outdoors
Van Damme State Park begins at the mouth of the Little River, stretching from the beach back through Fern Canyon and the rare, stunted cypress trees of Pygmy Forest. Highway One runs through the park, separating the campground and the Fern Canyon trailhead to the east from the beach and parking lot to the west. From marine coastal beach and bluff, tall coast redwood forests, and wetlands further inland, there is an abundance of natural habitats to discover here.

Great hosts. Gordon explained how everything worked and having the manual helped when I had a question about the outside power supply. It was my first time renting a camper van.
I left my earbuds in the van and Gordon and Dale were quick to find them and I arranges for someone to pick them up at their home.
We had great weather at Fort Bragg and having the van fully stocked with kitchen utensils, pots and pans was appreciated.

This is our third year renting an RV through Outdoorsy. Dan was the absolute best host who communicated clearly. We loved the size of the RV. We have been in smaller and larger RV's. The way the kitchen is laid out and open the whole room (instead of a galley kitchen) made the whole place feel much bigger. It was spotless and Dan's wife left us some flowers in the RV which was a sweet touch. The kitchen had great supplies. I would just add more salad/mixing bowls. Dan delivered our RV on time and showed up on Sunday before noon which was perfect (as we have had to wait in the past). We really enjoyed this experience and would gladly rent from him again in a year!

The RV was great and had more than we expected. Justin could not have been nicer and was great to work with and it was a wonderful trip.
