Amazing Campground

This campground was so beautiful! The site we had (and indeed many of them) had a layout where you park on the side of the road and then your site is down a short steep hill and surrounded by thick head-high brush. Privacy was incredible!

There were no redwoods in the campground and no rules against tying up hammocks or lines. The big bathroom had flush toilets, running water, and showers. It was at the end of the road and by a very large group site. There was a bathroom closer to us and my 14-year old said the toilet was broken and it was not great. Because of this, and because "there were roads all over the place" he did not like this campground very much. For a campground, I thought it was great.

I loved that Humbolt Redwoods SP was SO much warmer and drier than Del Norte Coast SP, which we stayed at before this one. However, for whatever reason there were tons of mosquitos here. These were different than what I'm used to. You can't tell they are on you until they bite, and it's a super painful bite! Make sure you bring mosquito spray, and don't plan on a fire to smoke them out, because fires might not be allowed.

When we were there last early August, we were warned against swimming in the nearby stream, as it had, oh I can't remember, an algea maybe?
