Camping near Weott, CA ranges from tent sites and RV spots with electric hookups to cabin rentals, set among ancient redwood groves in Northern California. Burlington Campground, located adjacent to the visitor center, provides tent and RV sites surrounded by ancient redwood groves. The campground network extends along Avenue of the Giants with additional options at Hidden Springs Campground and Albee Creek Campground, offering varied accommodations including tent camping, RV spots with electric hookups, and cabin rentals at nearby Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination in Myers Flat. Most campgrounds feature picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, and restrooms with showers.
Many campgrounds in the Humboldt redwoods maintain seasonal operation schedules, with some facilities like Albee Creek only open from mid-May through mid-October. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The entire campground is ALWAYS in the shade because of the tree density." Year-round campgrounds include Burlington Campground, which provides access to hiking trails directly across Avenue of the Giants. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when facilities reach capacity quickly. Most sites include bear lockers for food storage, and campers should be prepared for cool temperatures even during summer due to the dense tree canopy. Cell service varies throughout the region, with some campgrounds offering limited or spotty coverage.
Campsites are generally well-spaced, though privacy varies by location. A visitor commented, "This place was perfect for what we needed, which was just one night on our way out to the NorCal coast from the Bay Area." Access to the Eel River provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, and rockhounding at spots like Leatherwood Bar. While some campgrounds are situated close to Highway 101 or Avenue of the Giants, resulting in occasional road noise, the redwood forest absorbs much of this sound, creating a relatively peaceful atmosphere. Bathroom facilities are typically well-maintained with flush toilets, and many campgrounds offer coin-operated showers, typically costing 25 cents per minute.

ScoutDidn't spend the night, stopped here for a day visit to the beach. Not worth the $30 a night, especially with the state parks in the area being $35 with flush toilets and showers. Right off the highway and vault toilets were near full to the brim. Maybe decent in a pinch but honestly I'd rather spend a night at the Trinity Rest Stop for free.
RangerBathrooms were terrible but views were awesome. Right off the US1 with picnic tables, bear boxes, and fire rings.
RangerSo close to the road. Loud campground. Beach is nice and pretty. But not much privacy for camping as it is basically a parking lot with a trail to the beach. Has a few picnic tables and fire rings.
RangerMore like roadside parking lot with beach access and a gross bathroom. Not much privacy. Beach was beautiful. Worth 30 bucks if you don’t want to veer far from route 101.
ScoutThis us a great overnight stop on us 101. Clean bathrooms and coin operated showers. Nice but short walks to feel River. No dogs on trails. Bummer. Not for big rigs, 24' max size. Dark in the redwood forest. Not much sun for solar. Very informative visitor center. Overall a good stop
GuideI read the reviews but decided to try it anyway, bringing my 42 foot rig, a 1960 Chevy C20 with a 21' Geo Pro camper that has a 3' cargo hitch on the back. I made it down and back, and if I could call my past self I would say not to do it at all. Aside from the aggressive bouncing that throws all your stuff everywhere (male sure to stow everything tight) the problem for a rig, even one with good ground clearance, is there are long very narrow sections of the road with no pull outs so if you happen to meet someone coming the other way, one of you needs to back up for a long way, either up or down very windy and rutted roads until you find one. And it does have very steep areas, and the pot holes are pretty dramatic at times. Near the end, the road grade was so steep that I cooked my brakes and was still sliding down the road with very little traction. Then I came upon two very deep pothole/ruts (would have been fun in a jeep), one in front of the other and offset so that there was a big hump to high center on, no mater which way you took it. Going down I was able to control my speed and get by ok but one the way up I had to hit it with some speed, and bent the hell out of one of my stabilizers which caught the dirt coming up and over. But if you do bring a rig, there are eventually good places to get turned around, but you'd better hope you don't break down along the road because you'll cause quite the traffic jam for both directions. I stayed at the site just before the bridge but there are many more sites down farther. And be sure to check out the Cathedral Trees, there is a trail that is marked there near that bridge. There is no cell service here.
ScoutBig Redwood trees, large sites spaced far enough apart for privacy cell service good
GuideThis site was great for touring the Redwood Forest and Crescent City area. Camp hosts are friendly and easy to work with. There's a handful of tiny homes scattered about. Many are long term live-ins. Nice dog park. Friendly neighbors.
GuideThis dispered site is 75 miles west of I5 and Red Bluff and just north of Hwy 36 about a 1/2 mile along USFS [Shasta-Trinity] Road 30N59. It is about 7 miles west of the 36/3 junction. Also about 3-4 miles east of USFS campgrounds Forest Glen and 2-3 miles east of Hell Gate. The entrance road here (30N59) is not very well marked but there is a large road sign on the south shoulder of 36, as shown in the pics, that is directly across from the entrance. Road 30N59 was not well maintaned (as of July 2026) but passable with care even with my 2wd SUV and teardrop. Like most disperesed camping bring everything and pack it out. Note - on Google Maps forest rd 30N59 is called Lower Rattlesnake Rd. Sites are flat areas with grass along the margins of 30N59 and right along the creek which was flowing well even in July.
Humboldt Redwoods State Park surrounds Weott, California, situated along the Eel River at an elevation of 250 feet. Winter temperatures in this redwood region average 45°F, while summer daytime highs rarely exceed 85°F. The dense tree canopy creates microclimates within camping spots near Weott, California, resulting in cooler temperatures than surrounding areas even during the peak summer season.
River activities at Eel River: The South Fork Eel River provides swimming and fishing opportunities just across from campgrounds. "I enjoyed being nestled inside the redwoods...Nice hiking trails to explore the Redwoods within walking distance of campground," notes a visitor to Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park.
Hiking through old-growth groves: Multiple trails connect directly from campgrounds into ancient forests. "There are lots of old redwood stumps to explore and climb on for kids. The Gould nature hike is easy and informative with lots of interesting sites," explains a camper at Hidden Springs Campground.
Educational programs at visitor center: "Rangers set up on the outside over the weekend...The rangers are very knowledgeable, which is great if you're looking for things to do/places to see on your trip," a camper mentions about activities at Burlington Campground.
Spacious campsites: Many sites accommodate multiple tents or provide room for activities. "Site 13 was easily large enough for four tent set-ups in separate areas of the site, though none of them were completely level. Each sites has a metal fire barrel (with half grate), a picnic table, and enough room to park two vehicles," reports a visitor to Burlington Campground.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower buildings receive positive feedback. At Albee Creek Campground, a camper noted, "Awesome small campground. Great clean facilities. Coin operated showers. Clean. Quiet because its small. Close to great hiking and creek exploring."
Wildlife viewing: "This campground has an old apple orchard that bears frequently forage. We saw wild turkeys, a baby fox, deer, and our neighbors saw bears!" says a reviewer about Albee Creek Campground.
Seasonal operations: Several campgrounds close during winter months. "This campsite is just off of Ave of the giants. The park is about 15 miles from the coast but still is heavily influenced by coastal weather. The fog can stay in the river valley and keep the campground cold even in the summer," explains a visitor to Van Duzen County Park.
Shower costs: Most campground showers are coin-operated. "Cost was .25¢ per minute—I didn't notice a change machine near the bathrooms but the front office girl said they could make change, they closed at 9 when we were there," reports a Hidden Springs camper.
Road noise: Some campgrounds experience traffic sounds from nearby highways. "The main issue is the noise. It's unbelievable loud as the camp site is right next to the road that appears to be supporting a logging operation. Logging and construction vehicles pass within 10-20 feet of the roadside campsites," notes a Grizzly Creek camper.
Climbing opportunities: Kids enjoy exploring unique redwood features. "Each site also has redwoods growing in them and often large stumps (many with steps cuts into them for climbing). This was a very family friendly campground. My daughter and her friend loved playing among the trees and stumps," mentions a Burlington camper.
Playground access: Some nearby campgrounds offer additional amenities for children. "The playground was a huge hit with our toddler too, as well as river access," explains a visitor to Giant Redwoods RV.
Ranger activities: Educational programs provide family entertainment. "Daily planned activities, so many great hiking trails, and the best part is: COFFEE at the visitor center! You don't have to brew your own!" shares an enthusiastic camper at Burlington Campground.
Site size limitations: Many campgrounds cannot accommodate larger vehicles. "Not suited for most RVs and travel trailers, you need to be very small and fully self contained. Our 19' A-Line barely fit into our spot. The sites are close together, short, with roots coming up in the road and parking areas, and sharp angled turns," cautions a visitor to Grizzly Creek.
Water quality concerns: Iron content may affect equipment. At Stafford RV Park, a camper noted, "The water jug we had filled with their water was full of rusty red residue at the bottom. And that water is what we used to fill our onboard RV tank (and that's with using a filter)."
Limited hookup availability: Many redwood camping spots near Weott offer minimal services. "No hookups, so come prepared! We liked our little cozy spot. The actual sites are nice and spacious, but the area you have to park your rig are TINY, so it can definitely be difficult the bigger your rig is," reports a camper at Burlington Campground.
