Magical Campground within the Redwoods

Around 100 plus sites here. We stayed here a few times over the summer because we liked it THAT much. Tucked back within the redwoods and only 1.5 miles from the ocean there’s plenty to do here. The restrooms and showers were closed due to COVID, understandably. The River was also the lowest it had been in a really long time apparently. However, each site is spacious. Some sites are harder to back into and there are only a few “pull thru” sites so make sure you call to reserve if you’re afraid of backing up! The staff is super friendly, and the owners take pride in their park. There is a cathedral tree and the loop in the campground is about a 1 mile. They also have a cute store with souvenirs. I recommend coming with a bike or a way to get into town if you are in a motor home because there’s some cute shops in town and it’s a difficult walk to the ocean because you have to go uphill and cross HWY 1. Beautiful redwood trees, it stays really cool 65 degrees so you might need a sweater but going out to the river and the ocean gets warmer. Some of my favorite sites to stay in are 212A, 212(if we had a smaller camper I totally would have stayed in these sites as they only fit around 22 ft trailers or 25 foot home. Site 16 is a nice river view site. The 60s and 70s would be quieter river view spots and 226 is a nice non river one that you can kind of pull thru. The river goes all the way down to the ocean and you can bring your own kayak or tubes as well! The river is great for kids it is not fast moving currents. Sites have water and electric and there is a dump station on the way out.
