Description
In 1960, Leroy and Mickey Nielson built a home for their family at the south end of the Noyo Bridge. They simultaneously built a detached restaurant and named it the “Harbor Restaurant.” In 1961, the Nielson family built the existing Harbor RV Park (HRP) office and the first two rows of mobile home spaces. The remainder of HRP was completed in 1964. The Harbor Restaurant and detached home eventually became enclosed into one building and was renamed the “Cliffhouse Restaurant.” Leroy ran the park until he sold it almost three decades later.
In 1989, HRP was purchased by Ukiah resident, Jack Shaw. Mr. Shaw frequently visited the park and enjoyed spending time in Fort Bragg. He had a passion for the Pacific and was an avid salmon fisherman and crabber, In 2003, after more than a decade of ownership, he decided to sell HRP due to his advancing years. Mr. Shaw passed away in 2008, and less than six years later, in February 2014, the park was reacquired by the Shaw Family. HRP is now owned and operated by Mr. Shaw’s daughter, Sharon Shaw, and his granddaughter, Natalee Forystek.
HRP has been undergoing major renovations since the re-acquisition. Repairs and upgrades are continuously being made to the park with the goal of creating an exceptional vacation destination. We strive to provide our guests with enjoyable and memorable experiences while staying with us.
HRP is proud to employ two of our permanent tenants: Carolyn Morgan, Office Manager, and Roberto Mora, Property Maintenance. Carolyn and Roberto are both longtime residents of Fort Bragg and are a wealth of knowledge of the local area. They work hard to ensure our guests have everything they need to truly enjoy their visit.
In 2006, the City of Fort Bragg opened Pomo Bluffs Park along the rocky bluffs adjacent to HRP. Guests can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the meandering path that lines the rugged bluff and eventually leads to Pomo Bluffs Park.
In June 2023, the Cliffhouse Restaurant was purchased by one of HRP’s permanent tenants and renamed Noyo River Grill. Guests can enjoy an exceptional meal and breathtaking views within walking distance of their RV site.
Plan your next visit to HRP to experience the joy and splendor of ocean bluff camping! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Where do I start, we stayed there for 2 days in July, the actual RV park is nothing like the pictures on their website. This RV Park has so much potential with their location. Instead, the entire park looks like the owners take all the profit and put it in their back pocket instead of investing back into in their business. They have great spaces near the bluffs that overlook the ocean, with beautiful sunsets and walking paths. But the sites themselves are so close together that there are not any picnic tables, cannot use your awning, slides are questionable depending how your neighbor parks. The grounds and the sites are overgrown with weeds and grass, broken and falling down fences, and the bathrooms/showers are dilapidated and dirty. The roads are extremely dusty, and you share the sites with mobile homes, some of which are very old and falling apart.

perfectly located overlooking the water and beach, surrounded by wild flowers with a lovely walking path. Clean with basic necessities. Pictures including the Sunset is more than worth the cost of the site (which was reasonable anyway)!

Filled the bill for a quick night stay. Nice sunset view walking the trail behind the sites on west side of “park”. Shower/bathroom not great but ok. Beware of the potholes and speed bumps getting to your site. Is basically in the field behind the trailer park portion. Had hookups and WiFi. Probably wouldn’t stay again

Beautiful ocean view on the front row on the cliff. You can hear the buoys ding and the horn sound at night, which I found very peaceful. No big chain amenities, but you are staying here for the view. They are also dog friendly. They offer restrooms, showers and level sights. Close to restaurants, shopping and Glass Beach. Carolyn in the office was very friendly and accommodating. As of 6-12-25, the rate was $47 per night.
