The park and campgrounds are managed by both the state of California and the NPS. If you have a national senior pass you can get a 50% discount because it is comanaged by the NPS. California doesn’t offer any decent senior discounts. The campground is awesome. I am normally not a big fan of heavily wooded campgrounds because I heavily dependent on Starlink for connectivity to the outside world. However, I was able to get an amazing site down by the river and was able to run Dishy out near the river bank and got a great connection. There is a short nature walk(about 1.5 miles) that leads through a breathtaking stand of redwoods that are enormous and 1,000s of years old. Of course, being a national and CA state park there are no hookups. I only saw one bathroom serving a very large area and it was a bit of a hike to get to. I would rate the bathroom a B. There is no hand soap so bring your own! Normally I would rate this a 4 because of lake of amenities but it gets a 5.
