Within Sue-meg State Park, Abalone Campground sits among towering redwoods on California's rugged North Coast. The California Department of Parks and Recreation manages this established campground, which provides full hookups for RVs up to 31 feet and accommodates tent campers across several loops.
Sites nestle beneath dense forest canopy where morning fog drifts between the trees and muffles sounds from neighboring camps. "Each site is wonderfully private, enclosed by mystic trees," notes Carly M.. Campers staying in sites backing onto the bluff can step directly from their campsite to watch sunset views over the Pacific. The constant sound of sea lions barking from offshore rocks provides nighttime ambiance.
Hiking trails wind through the park to dramatic coastal overlooks and tide pools accessible at low tide. The reconstructed Yurok village offers cultural interpretation, while multiple viewpoints along the bluff trail showcase the meeting of forest and ocean. Facilities include coin-operated showers, restrooms, and food storage lockers at each site to protect supplies from wildlife.
The $35 nightly rate includes water, electric, and sewer hookups, plus standard amenities like picnic tables and fire rings with cooking grates. Weather stays cool and damp year-round due to coastal influence, with thick fog common during summer months. Reservations help secure preferred sites, particularly those with ocean access.
For a different forest experience, Penn Campground — Sue-meg State Park offers an alternative within the same park system.
