Great location, great scenery, great price, but tight space for RVers. If you have a rig over 20ft, think twice before coming down this road to search for an available campsite. There are only two sites which could accommodate longer rigs.  The rest of the campground is a tent camper and vanlifers dream, though not a lot of privacy between sites.  We got lucky and snagged the one and only larger spot with some privacy and direct access to the lagoon!

Even small RV’s will have a problem negotiating the tight turns and narrow spaces between the towering trees and large roots extending into the narrow driveway. When in doubt, walk it out before you head in. There are also a few bike in / hike in only sites, which we love to see. This route is a classic bike packing trip as well. 

The campground offers fresh water, flush toilets, and hot showers. The bath house was definitely of vintage age but clean enough for our standards – and always grateful when a night of camping for around $25 includes a hot shower. 

This is Redwoods Country with both the State and National Parks within a short drive, and there are plenty of recreational options nearby, including hiking, beach combing, horse trails and paddling. This part of the No Cal Pacific coast is unprotected so the ocean can be pretty rough for kayaking, but the lagoon offers a protected space to explore by kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. 

Grocery stores and gas stations are pretty sparse in this part of the coast, so come prepared with what you need, or take advantage of the local diners and restaurants available along the road. This highway always reminds us of an earlier time during the golden age of the American road trip.
