Camp site along the way

This campground we happened upon as we had been traveling all day and it was starting to get late. It’s located right off the main road. There are three parts to the camp ground we stayed in the first section. It was clean, well kept. Each site had food boxes, a fire ring, and picnic table. The bathrooms were clean and there were also showers available for an additional charge. They were quarter operated. If you don’t have change you can exchange at the ranger station. The camp host was super friendly and we had a great stay.

Eel River Access

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 the summer but is temperate in the spring and fall.

Sites 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 actually on the river but on a bluff above the river. This is a river canyon.
