A Storied Past: From Fishing Pier to Vacation Paradise
Sportsman’s Park has been a beloved part of Noyo Harbor since the 1950s. What started as a humble fishing center—where guests once paid in eggs, bologna, and whiskey—has grown into a modern retreat while still honoring its roots. Upgrades in 2003 brought new amenities and comforts, but the spirit of community, adventure, and coastal charm remains woven into every corner of the park.
Unique Stays: Themed Tiny Homes and Fully Equipped RVs
One of the things that sets Sportsman’s Park apart is its collection of eight themed tiny homes and three fully equipped RVs. Each unit tells a story—whether it’s the rustic fishing vibes of Harbor Watch, the nautical romance of San Juan, or the groovy, laid-back energy of Emmanuel. Every space is designed with comfort and personality in mind:
Sleeps 4–6 guests (perfect for families or small groups)
Full kitchens, private decks, BBQ grills (varies by unit)
Ocean-inspired décor for a true coastal feel
Wi-Fi throughout the property (with plans for upgrades soon!)
Pet-friendly RV spaces so your furry friends can join the adventure
No other Mendocino County rental offers this blend of space, amenities, and authentic harbor atmosphere.
