ScoutWildly peaceful. Read the description in the bio, follow the directions, and you’ll find yourself able to choose from a handful of campsites. We took the right turn once you get up to the sign showing you all the campsites. the second campsite you can drive to is on the left and you have an insane view of the trees. the sunset was absolutely incredible.
GuideNice spot for an overnight stay. The views on your way are amazing.
Only spent 1 night here, very quiet during the day time.
ScoutAccess road is gated after a couple of miles, so unable to even get close.
TravelerTook a chance that we would find a spot on a holiday weekend. We rolled in at 630pm. There were a handful of first come spaces remaining. Got lucky and found a space for our 34 ‘ rig . Hit a few low hanging branches on the way in. Right next to hwy 101 but mostly quiet at night.
ScoutWalking distance to the visitor center and other great hikes. Dog-friendly, clean restrooms/coin showers, and relatively private sites - some more than others. Beautiful surroundings!
GuideWhile traveling to Redwood National Park, I discovered the Kinetic Sculpture Race and the oldest Memorial Day Parade were also taking place. I sought last-minute camping reservations nearby and found a tranquil spot with ample space, offering lovely views of farmland and sunsets.
GuideOk for an RV park. Little privacy but overall nice sites. Only one toilet and one shower for the hole south loop. Many regulations and rules and they make sure everyone follows. The river was great. Way to expensive for what you get.
GuideBeautiful campground set right among the Redwoods! Some sites have more relative privacy than others, some have giant trees or stumps, some are wide open. We stayed in site 38BU in a large SUV with a rooftop tent, and we're very happy with the amount of trees and scenery surrounding us. You can see in the photos, we had plenty of room for another vehicle or a couple of other tents. Facilities were very clean and close to this site, and the park visitor center is adjacent to the campground. The entire campground is ALWAYS in the shade because of the tree density.
