I went here for a 5th grade science camp, and it was one of the best things I have ever experienced! When ours and two other schools arrived, many of the staff members entertained us with skits, and sorted us into our nature groups. Our naturalist was very nice, and we had lots of fun with her! Me and the girls in our nature group went to the Hummingbird Cabin in the 49ers village. There we met cabin leaders who were very nice! When our cabin experienced an earthquake, one of them calmed us all down by reading us a book. Some of the cabins got a Bobs Pillow, a small blue circular marble, right in front of their doors. If you were to get this gift from the Bobs (a community of small people the camp would mention to you), you would be able to go inside the dining hall first to eat breakfast. There were many things the camp offered to eat each day, and vegetarian alternatives for things that have meat. Yummy! Because the staff found endangered owl eggs in front of the original campfire, the event was held in the Chinchen Chapel. There the staff, and eventually cabins, were doing skits and singing songs. I really enjoyed this camp, and hope you enjoy it too if you are to come here!

There’s truly no reason not to rave about YMCA Camp Campbell as a wedding venue! We spent a long time searching for the right place. We knew we didn’t want a typical ballroom and the moment we visited Camp Campbell, it was love at first sight. Surrounded by towering redwoods and full of charm, it felt like a dream. Every guest asked us how we found such a fun and unique venue. Adults and kids alike had a blast! The included activities like axe throwing and archery were a huge hit, and the food was absolutely delicious. We’re especially grateful for Amber, our venue coordinator. She was organized, responsive, and so easy to work with. She stayed in close communication throughout the entire process, worked seamlessly with all our vendors, and helped bring our dream day to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better team. We’re so glad we chose Camp Campbell. It will always hold a special place in our hearts.

I can’t express enough how touched I was by the warmth and charm of our stay at the cabin. It felt like a true home in Redwood, California. The beautiful iron woodwork added a heartfelt touch, making the space feel even more inviting. The tall ceiling glass windows and doors allowed for plenty of natural light. The built-in bunk beds were a delightful surprise—cozy and thoughtfully designed, complete with shelves, lights, and charging plugs for our devices. Through the small window, we enjoyed a lovely view of the majestic redwoods, enhancing our experience and creating lasting memories. The serene setting took my breath away, and it was heartwarming to see how much my family treasured every moment together. The meals were prepared with genuine care and consideration, turning our dining experiences into something truly enjoyable and bonding. I appreciated the clean-up system in place, which encouraged everyone to contribute by sorting scraps for compost and trash. This fostered a beautiful sense of teamwork and shared responsibility, making the experience feel more like a family affair. Our property tour was enlightening and offered new perspectives, though I’d suggest experiencing it during the daytime so everyone can fully appreciate the surrounding beauty. It was comforting to have a full schedule of planned activities, with my family's favorite being archery. Engaging options like wood burning, pottery, shelter building, crafts, and tie-dyeing shirts made every moment feel special. We’re already looking forward to returning for more adventures, including the climbing wall, swimming pool, ninja rope course, seesaw floor, and slingshots. There’s so much to explore, and the wonderful sense of togetherness we enjoyed was truly special. I highly recommend this place to families seeking a warm getaway from the city. It really is camping made extraordinary, with thoughtful details that make everyone feel at home.

these photos are from 2019 when i last went because i went for science camp in 2014 for 5th which it was a lot of fun besides me feeling homesick. we went hiking, swimming, archery and sat by the big campfire oh and we did a skit stage performance which was exciting but when i happened to go again there was nothing to do and still they had bad food and the staff weren’t helpful like they were in 2014. They closed off the pool, didnt allow hiking, and like i said the food was bland and boring. They do have nice cabins and its a beautiful forest also i loved the garden they have but hopefully they fix these problems.
