Standish-Hickory State Recreation Area Campground

Fishing and swimming in the South Fork Eel River draw campers to this state park campground in Leggett, where three loops sit within a river canyon shaded by old-growth redwoods. The river level determines whether all loops stay open. Sites include tables, fire rings, and food storage, with full hookups available for RVs up to 24 feet. Summer heat is a factor, though spring and fall run cooler. Anglers or those wanting a different setup can look at Hickey Campground nearby.

Nice wooded area!

We were here at the end of August not busy at all. There is a park service employee (booth) at the entrance. She was very helpful!

We stayed one night as we are headed north on highway 101. Nice little campground for the night.

On Your Way North

Not sure I would consider this as a destination, more of "on the way" stop. That being said you can spend some quality time here in the redwoods, and when the water is right, hang in the Eel River. I have always used it to pass through when I am on my way north and got a late start. Not sure that is fair to the area.

It has redwoods, and some real old ones. It has a river which can be roaring or meandering. You can hang in the river and you can fish. While it is off Highway 101 I was not disturbed by the noise (maybe I was just tired). It can be hot in teh summer but is temperate in the spring and fall.

Site are in the redwoods so pretty and private. Have tables, fire rings and food storage.

There are three loops, one on the opposite side of the river but they are not always open - depends in height of the river. I like to be along the river so try to snag a site in the Hickey loop You are not actaully on the river but on a bluff above the river. This is a river canyon.
