Super nice camphosts

Nice site that are a little too close together, but that seems the norm in California. The camp hosts were so amazingly nice. Even gave me wood for a fire to keep the mosquitos at bay. Great place to cool off with the river near the sites and plenty of pools to splash in. The best spot is at the end of the loop behind the gated area. If it's closed ask the hosts and they might open it.

Siteend of the second loop behind the gate.

Beautiful and secluded, challenging access to redwoods national park

This campsite is in a big stand of redwoods, which are beautiful and keep it cool, but not cold. There was only one other party there when I stayed, plus the campground hosts who were extremely kind and helpful. The drive in through Six Rivers National Forest was stunning with winding roads along a light blue river through pine-covered mountains. 

The only downsides to this campsite were: 1) no service whatsoever, not even in town and 2) the road to get to redwoods national park is pretty remote, with a ~5 mile unpaved stretch with lots of potholes. If you're trying to find an inexpensive place to stay away from the hustle of 101, this is perfect!

Great swimming

Fairly large campground with large Fir trees that provide shade during the day. The creek runs next to the campground which provides wonderful water sounds all night. Swimming in the nearby Salmon River is a great way to spend a hot July day.
