Burlington Campground — Humboldt Redwoods State Park

Our first time camping among redwoods.  The sites are generally well-spaced.  We arrived in early March, mid-afternoon, and still had a few choices on a first-come, first-served basis.  Very friendly gate attendant.  And then, of course, there is hiking in the redwoods!

Arrived after hours and selected unreserved level site for 24' RV. Paid using cash envelope. All sites are shaded under tall trees. A mix of tent and Sites suitable for smaller RVs. No hook-ups. Clean restrooms. Good hot showers using quarters. Right next to Visitor Center and easy Forrest walks. Quiet at night. Would stay again.

Beautiful campground set right among the Redwoods! Some sites have more relative privacy than others, some have giant trees or stumps, some are wide open. We stayed in site 38BU in a large SUV with a rooftop tent, and we're very happy with the amount of trees and scenery surrounding us. You can see in the photos, we had plenty of room for another vehicle or a couple of other tents. Facilities were very clean and close to this site, and the park visitor center is adjacent to the campground. The entire campground is ALWAYS in the shade because of the tree density.

Great campground in the redwoods. It is located right in the Avenue of the Giants and next to the visitor center. Some sites are small, some are somewhat private, but they are close together in general. The restrooms and showers are nice enough. Overall this was a great campground and fun family trip.

Recent rains resulted in several of the campsites being closed, but there were still spots available on my late arrival. Restrooms and showers were clean and conveniently located. Avenue of the Redwoods is an amazing drive!

Beautiful campground in Humboldt State Redwoods State Park right on Avenue of the Giants. Showers and toilets were decent. As a solo female camper, I felt very safe. It rained when I was there but the trees cover a lot of ground so I only felt some drops. The other folks camping when I was there were respectful, relaxed, and low-key. Truly stunning and serene area.

I got lucky and snagged a campsite as a first come first served on a Monday evening back in June. I love this campground as it’s easily accessible and has all of the basic needs. Bathrooms with electricity and flushing toilets. Firewood sold on site. Visitors center next door and of course trails leading through the redwoods. The sites are pretty large and had enough parking, but there is a fee for additional vehicles.

This campground is secluded and private and has a great location along the avenue of the giants. The downside for me was the clear evidence of logging the old giant redwoods within the campground.

Quiet place with only tents and small trailers. Lots of shade (not great for solar, we did get some) No pesky critters. Clean private bathrooms and showers. Limited trials for dogs. Very limited. A small amount of poison oak. Close town for restaurants and stores. An 45 minutes to Eureka

Beautiful campground in the redwoods. Very cool visitors center next door.

Right off the 101, you'll have no problem finding this place on your way through the Humboldt redwoods. Absolutely beautiful grounds. Just surreal. 

This place was perfect for what we needed, which was just one night on our way out to the NorCal coast from the Bay Area. Weather was very tolerable for a late November stay -- chilly early morning that thawed out as the sun beat down.

 You'll hear a tiny bit of highway traffic, but not much. It's really serene, especially if you can grab a site that's farther off the road.

Access to nearby trails is obviously exceptional. We had a great time exploring the Eel River at Leatherwood Bar, where we did some rockhounding and exploring with the dog.

Not the most privacy, but the trees offer some cover from other campsites, which was good enough for us especially since the sites were nicely spaced out.

Quiet campground blanketed in shade from the most incredible trees.

Clean individual bathrooms!

Love this place - so peaceful and beautiful. Great campsites. Bathrooms and showers were very well maintained. Lots of hiking options.

We only spent one night here. It was a stop over for us heading north. We pulled in at midnight and woke up to beautiful trees we weren’t able to see in the dark. It is right next to the road if road noise bothers anyone. We were fine with it as we were only staying here one night. The bathrooms are clean and the camp host is very nice.

This is a must-stop if you enjoy foresty camping in the trees. Threaded throughout the giant redwoods, this campground is just a hop skip and a jump away from the avenue of the giants. Towering trees cast shadows at all times of day—dress warm! Coin operated showers and clean restrooms were very comfortable and the best of all campgrounds we enjoyed on this trip. Byo firewood if you count on having a campfire—it’s damp. Don’t skip this campground, it was one of our most beloved stays

There's nothing quite as special as camping amongst giants. Spots are spaced out and plenty big for rigs (24' for us). There are easy trails across the Avenue of the Giants, longer hikes in the area, and visitor info next door. Unfortunately, the closet town is Fortuna about half an hour away. It is a beautiful drive, though, and camping here is a must for anyone.

Camp site 12 backs up to a fence (houses or cabins occupied behind the fence) and had decent space from other sites. Large picnic table, bear locker and tall fire pit on site. Bathrooms are a short walk and were mostly clean with flushable toilets, sink and soap (no towels or dryer to dry hands). There was a water spigot right next to the sight with potable water. Being surrounded by trees was lovely. The campground’s natural features seems a little worn and weathered with some trees damaged and well worn paths. You can can purchase wood onsite for $8. Right across the street from the campground is a nice nature trail and leads to the river.

Campground is very clean. Lots of smaller sites packed closely together. Campground backs to the busy hwy 101 on one side and then to the slightly less busy Avenue of the Giants on the other so you hear cars and trucks all night long. Traveled here with another couple and were unable to get sites next to each other.

Located right next to the area’s visitor center which is really cool. This mini-museum with gift shop tells the fascinating history of the area. They also do a Junior Ranger program every few days which gives the kids a scavenger hunt to do which also serves as an excellent guide to the Avenue of the Giants and it’s surrounding Redwood groves.

All-in-all there are better campgrounds in the Humboldt area worth considering.

One of my all time favorites. I’ve been staying here with my family since I was a young boy. The campground is well maintained and has flush toilets and coin op showers. No hookups here but the dry camp is well worth your time. Tons of shade so don’t expect your solar panels to keep your battery charged.

Just passed the camp and it looks really nice

Nice campground for trailers and tents with relatively large sites interspersed in the redwood trees. The shared bathrooms have showers (25¢/minute for water) and are all clean and updated. There are fire pits and picnic tables in each site. The summer charge was $35/night.

If you find yourself traveling through the redwoods while driving the Avenue of the Giants this is a really nice little campground to stop in and spend the night. They have first come, first serve for any unreserved spots, and during the week there are typically a few available. However, they can only be used for one night at a time. 

The campground has access to the South Fork of the Eel River right across the street for swimming and fishing, and hiking trails nearby. Much of the campground is surrounded by huge redwoods and the stumps left from fallen or logged trees, which are in themselves enormous, and so much fun for kids to play on! There is also a nearby town, Myers Flat which has a store and the awesome Drive Thru Tree! The only downside to this campground is the size of the sites, which are crammed together and don’t have much privacy.

Every site is nestled among a grove of old growth California Redwoods - books up a long time in advance / I was lucky to get a walk up site. Great amenities and right on Avenue of the Giants

This has been a favorite site for us. It's nestled right in the redwoods and there is a ton to explore around it. There are trails right across the road and you're right next to the visitor center. VC has WiFi and the campground had great Verizon service.

Sites were reasonably private and tucked amongst towering redwoods. Right off Avenue of the Giants, this campground is a great location to explore some spectacular old growth redwoods and the Eel river nearby. This area is magical.
