Van Damme State Park Campground
Reviewed Aug. 8, 2023

Beautiful surroundings, redwoods and ocean nearby

Pros - close to Mendocino and Fort Bragg; toilets and showers well-maintained; campground itself is beautiful, with some sites that have close neighbors, and some that are more isolated. Dump station. Beach across the street from the entrance.

Cons - sites have varying degrees of flatness, so if you are in a tent you may have a challenge finding a flat enough spot; due to a temporary bridge and narrow roads to the upper campgrounds, towing anything above a small (<20') trailer might be a challenge for less experienced RV folks (like me!).

Overall takeaway - bring a tent or small rig, call or get reviews for the flattest sites (52 looked good), and enjoy the beautiful surroundings! We stayed in site 45, which backs up to the redwoods.
