"There are many sites next to the ocean."
"PROS
→ Campground is adjacent to the beach. You can hear the ocean and sometimes catch peeks of the ocean from the campground.
→ Campsites have bear lockers."
"But make sure you only go during the week, because of the rowdiness, hell raising, dune driving doing donuts, drunken idiots that are there on the weekends."
"Some nice hikes close by."
$35 / night
"The sites are very close to each other and the camp is very busy In The summer. There is a trail down to a wonderful beach for tide pooling and sunrise/sunset walks."
"This is by far one of the best places to camp on the California coast! The camp spots are right on the water and it is a beautiful spot to watch the sunset! Gets chilly @ night so be prepared!"
$35 - $200 / night
"The most beautiful spot to brake down in Northern California."
"The little river close by helped keep us cool. Not to far from town. And lots of big foot shops around."
"The road itself is rough and could be very unsettling for anyone trying to do this trip in a vehicle without good off-road clearance. The ruts can be big and cause bottoming out of street cars."
"We chose the latter, and even with the number of other parties near us, we were still able to find a fairly secluded spot."
$55 - $155 / night
"We were lucky to get a site right next to the beach for our class B RV. This is a beautiful site along Highway 1.
PS if this site is full, there is a dry camp about a mile north on Highway one."
"We stayed in our van in the tent area which was secluded, with a stream meandering through, and it was nearly deserted in April."
$35 / night
"Big redwoods surround each site. Flushing toilets, hot showers, water available. Next to the South Fork Eel River. Diner with walk up window and General store across the Highway."
"This campground is an excellent stopping point along the 101 Highway and the South for of the Eel River."
"This was the first stop on a drive from San Francisco to Seattle. The river access is pretty sweet!!"
"We used this campground as a one night layover on our way to sunny California."
"The trail in is basically an old mountain pass logging road that isn't maintained the best. It's narrow in spots and steep grade. I towed my offroad camper up without issue but its only 13ft long."
"Only drawback is proximity to the access road and a bit exposed."
GuideThis is a first come first served campground. We got there at around 2pm and there were only 2 other campers. By the end of the night most of the spots had filled up. The beach was very quiet with few other visitors. This campground/state park is right at the mouth of the Navarro river so you can walk the river bank and then the beach! Porta-potties were recently serviced, picnic table, fire ring. Sites are close together- resembling a parking lot. This is my favorite beach so far and worth the price of $35/night.
RangerI stopped in at this site as I thought it was dispersed. It's ran by the BLM so it was $15. Sites are level, there is trash bins and paths to the ocean. I was here in June and it was still pretty chilly and windy. Overall a good spot off the beaten path. Lots of hiking paths.
RangerThe trail in is basically an old mountain pass logging road that isn't maintained the best. It's narrow in spots and steep grade. I towed my offroad camper up without issue but its only 13ft long. I wouldn't advise anything much larger then 18ft. I did have to use 4x4 on some of the grades due to the trailer but if just in a vehicle it would be pretty easy. It would definitely present a challenge if it has just rained or was raining. It's true dispersed camping of pack in and pack it out. There's no facilities or trash. Plenty of space to spread out. Don't forget to air down those tires when going out on the beach. I would definitely come back to this one. Also the internet test was based on my Starlink not cell service. I have Verizion and had no service here.
ScoutI’ve been traveling with my dog, and this place was just the peace and quiet that I was looking for. Friendly hosts, bear boxes for storage, enough space between tents. I think this place was worth the money. I hope to visit again.
TravelerI travelled about 100 miles on 'Bob's' road, or 'Bill's' road because highway 36 was closed. WOW! The second hundred miles were okay, but the scenery was, on both stretches of road, just fantastic. The lake is beautiful, blue/green and surrounded by green.
The camp itself is great, although I have suspicion that a lot, or most, of the sites are weekenders, or people who come here for a week or two. Lots of sites have 'stuff,' meaning there's boats, RVs, trailers, tents, chairs, hanging lights, but no people.
TravelerI stayed here three nights in a 25' travel trailer; I was the only one here!? It's quiet, off SR101 a distance and right off Avenue of the Giants, an absolutely beautiful and fantastic drive among some of the most amazing redwoods I've seen in a while. The closest town is Fortuna, about a 30-minute drive. Clean campground, clean restroom and shower facilities, just nice all-around. I'd stay again. I didn't give five stars because of the lack of some basics: firewood, ice. The pictures of the redwoods are from the Avenue of the Giants road, just a mile north of this park. Absolutely amazing, given that I grew up in Santa Rosa and the redwoods at the Russian River. gpk
GuideTwo separate camping areas. Review pertains to Surfwood... which is closer to ocean and boardwalk. Mixed review on sites... some big... some level... some well spaced... some with good views... others not so much. This area contains new restroom & shower building. $1 token for 5 minutes... buy at front gate when drive in. Quiet at night except for sound of gentle surf. Great boardwalk to ocean cliffs... and nice paved walking trail to town. Dump station appears open but did not use. First-come first-serve for unreserved sites after 2pm per person at front gate. Make sure to place items out immediately when you select un-reserved spot before returning to pay within 30 minutes... Will stay again if in area.
GuideArrived after hours and selected unreserved level site for 24' RV. Paid using cash envelope. All sites are shaded under tall trees. A mix of tent and Sites suitable for smaller RVs. No hook-ups. Clean restrooms. Good hot showers using quarters. Right next to Visitor Center and easy Forrest walks. Quiet at night. Would stay again.
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.
