Towering redwoods create a natural canopy over more than 100 campsites at this privately managed park along the Gualala River. The campground sits 1.5 miles inland from Highway 1, with sites scattered throughout a forested setting that keeps temperatures around 65 degrees even during summer months. Katie B. notes that "each site is spacious," though backing into some spots requires skill since only a few pull-through sites exist.
River access draws many families here, with about 30 sites offering water views and direct access to the slow-moving Gualala River that flows to the ocean. The river runs shallow during dry seasons but provides safe conditions for children to play and for tubing or kayaking. Trails branch off from individual campsites into the redwood forest, including a loop trail that circles the campground for about a mile. A cathedral tree serves as a notable landmark within the grounds.
Full hookup sites accommodate RVs up to 38 feet, with most sites providing water and 30-amp electric service. The campground includes flush toilets, coin-operated showers, and laundry facilities, plus an on-site store selling basic camping supplies and souvenirs. Recreational amenities include volleyball courts and ping pong tables. A single dump station operates near the entrance, requiring campers to exit the campground entirely to access it mid-stay.
The campground fills quickly during peak season, making advance reservations essential. Sites closest together can feel crowded, though the redwood setting provides natural screening between many spots. Nick T. describes "large sites under the redwoods and along the Gualala River" that create privacy despite the campground's size. Cyclists can easily reach the town of Gualala for additional dining and shopping options, while coastal access requires crossing Highway 1. The park works well for RV campers seeking amenities and families wanting river access within walking distance of their sites.
