Big Lagoon County Park
Big Lagoon County Park, near Trinidad, California, is a charming spot that offers a unique blend of natural beauty and outdoor adventure. With its picturesque views of the lagoon and proximity to the ocean, it’s a fantastic place to unwind and soak in the scenery.
The campground features a mix of tent and RV sites, though larger RVs might find the tight turns and narrow paths a bit tricky. Visitors often rave about the clean facilities, including flush toilets and hot showers, which are a nice perk after a day of exploring. As one camper put it, “The camp host was incredibly kind and helpful, and the showers and close bathroom a nice bonus.”
For those eager to explore, you’re just a short drive from the stunning Redwoods National and State Parks, where hiking and beachcombing await. The lagoon itself is perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding, providing a calm escape from the ocean’s rougher waters. Just remember to bring cash for your stay, as credit cards aren’t accepted here.
While some campers have noted that the sites can feel a bit close together, the overall vibe is friendly and respectful, making it a great choice for a peaceful getaway. Whether you’re here for a night or planning a longer stay, Big Lagoon County Park is a lovely spot to connect with nature and enjoy the great outdoors.
