Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Myers Flat, CA

Hidden Springs Campground in Humboldt Redwoods State Park provides secluded pet-friendly sites set among the trees, with many campsites built into hillsides for privacy. Most sites are tucked into the forest, creating a sense of solitude even when the campground is busy. Campers reference The Dyrt for top tips on camping near Myers Flat, California. Dogs are welcome at all nine pet-friendly campgrounds in the area, including Burlington Campground and Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination. Each campground offers different accommodations—from tent-only sites to RV spaces with hookups and pet-friendly cabins. The campsites at Hidden Springs feature fire rings, picnic tables, and food storage lockers, with clean restrooms and coin-operated showers nearby. Despite not being directly under giant redwoods, the dense forest setting provides ample shade and natural barriers between sites.

Dog-friendly trails surround the campgrounds, with the redwood grove hiking trail connecting different sections of Hidden Springs Campground. A short walk across Avenue of the Giants leads to the South Fork Eel River, where dogs can cool off during summer months when water levels are appropriate. Visitors should watch for poison oak throughout the area, which grows abundantly around campsites and along trails. The nearby town of Myers Flat offers basic supplies, including ice and dog necessities. Most campgrounds enforce standard pet policies requiring leashes and proper waste disposal. Sites vary in size and terrain—some are relatively flat while others feature steep access paths that may challenge campers with mobility concerns or large dogs. Noise from Highway 101 can be heard from some sections of the campgrounds but generally diminishes at night.

    Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination

    Quiet Redwoods Getaway

    This is a beautiful campground in Meyer’s Flat, CA. The area of Myers Flat is a little “sketchy” but the campground is very well kept and they close the gates at night which is nice. There are nice little cabins on site as well as RV sites. We stayed for 3 nights and it was very enjoyable. Driving and biking along Avenue of the Giants was the highlight of this area! There is a little dog park, volleyball court, playground, swimming area. (we didn’t swim due to the algae warning for northern CA) It’s along Eel River. There’s also a great market and coffee shop nearby that we took advantage of! (pricey but the only place around) The staff is so kind and Vicki was a great help while we made our reservation over the phone. Overall, we would stay again!

    Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination

    Just off the Avenue of Giants

    We stayed here once while driving through the red wood forest along the Avenue of Giants. It is very close to the drive-thru tree in Meyers Flat. That one have a park and play houses made out of redwood trees that my daughters love.

    Myers Flat is a weird little town. This was a good place to stop, however I’d probably look into the State Park nearby if we stay near Myers Flat again. The tent site was $40 because the was three of us. It’s $35 per night for a tent site up to two people and $5 per night for each additional person.

    The tent sites are right along the Eel River. It’s very pretty. There was a dish washing station, bathrooms with showers, a little store and playground. The campground is gated and locks up at night. The staff was friendly.

    Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination

    A Hidden Gem

    What a wonderful RV park. Quiet except for the very occasional road noise during the day, extremely quiet at night, very well kept up, friendly hosts, and very nice sites. The options here run the gamut from tent sites, cabins, W/E hookups and even some full hookups with sewer. They also have a dump station, bathrooms/laundry (currently closed due to the pandemic), volleyball, horseshoes, river access and more. Myers Flat is a small town with a tiny grocery/deli but not a ton more.

    If you’re coming in along 101, take the Avenue of the Giants if you have some extra time. You’ll end up right in Myers Flat and see some amazing forests along the way.

    We’ll be back for sure.

    Okay Campground in Stunning Area

    Albee Creek is a decent little campground set in a beautiful area of Northern California.

    The campground itself is relatively small with not a ton of cover between sites. We camped in spot #25 which was nice because we only had campers on one side of us. There were a lot of ticks in the field next to our site however, so I guess we ended up with more neighbors than if we had camped closer to other people.

    The campground had bathrooms and showers, which were both in nice condition.

    There are a few trail options right from the campground, which is nice. We ended up doing a 16.5-mile loop from the campground to the summit of Grasshopper Peak. It was a nice hike with about 3,100 feet of elevation gain, mostly on fire roads.

    Firewood is for sale at the Ranger Kiosk and you are required to purchase your firewood there or somewhere else close by to prevent transmission of disease. The closest store for firewood and beer (aka camping essentials) was in Myers Flat. Stop on your way north if you can as it’s a 25-minute drive each way.

    In the Heart of the Redwoods

    We're motorcycle campers and this is one of our favourites. It is a good 25 minute drive each way to Myers Flat for provisions so stop on the way. Last time we were there the road in was all broken up but I hear that it has been re-paved in the summer of 2018.

    Burlington Campground — Humboldt Redwoods State Park

    Beautiful Redwoods, Very Cramped Camp Sites

    If you find yourself traveling through the redwoods while driving the Avenue of the Giants this is a really nice little campground to stop in and spend the night. They have first come, first serve for any unreserved spots, and during the week there are typically a few available. However, they can only be used for one night at a time. 

    The campground has access to the South Fork of the Eel River right across the street for swimming and fishing, and hiking trails nearby. Much of the campground is surrounded by huge redwoods and the stumps left from fallen or logged trees, which are in themselves enormous, and so much fun for kids to play on! There is also a nearby town, Myers Flat which has a store and the awesome Drive Thru Tree! The only downside to this campground is the size of the sites, which are crammed together and don’t have much privacy.

    Hidden Springs Campground — Humboldt Redwoods State Park

    Family friendly campground beneath the redwoods

    I stayed here in late July for three nights with my 6 year old daughter and our 3 friends.  Site 13 was easily large enough for four tent set-ups in separate areas of the site, though none of them were completely level.  There are three kinds of sites in the campground - those backed against the woods or the fence separating the campground from the ranger houses, those in the middle, and those next to the Ave of the Giants.  The ones with the most room and privacy were backed up against the woods/fence, and we were in one of those sites. Each sites has a metal fire barrel (with half grate), a picnic table, and enough room to park two vehicles. Each site also has redwoods growing in them and often large stumps (many with steps cuts into them for climbing).  Water spigots are available about every other site. 

    This was a very family friendly campground. My daughter and her friend loved playing among the trees and stumps, and riding her scooter around the loop.  Rangers frequently walked/drove around the campground and a camp host went around every morning to check sites and car tags.  Of the three nights we were here, only one was kinda loud with music and voices, but they went subdued around 11 pm. The only other bother were the three dogs in the adjacent camp that were....  well, dogs (they barked a lot). Road noise was present but not distracting. 

    The location was great. You could stroll over to the visitor center (rangers set up on the outside over the weekend) or across the street to the nature trails.  A short drive takes you into Myers Flat or Founders Grove, and you are smack in the middle of the Ave of the Giants. I would have given this campground 5 stars, if it wasn't for the comfort stations (bathrooms).  They had a sewage backup/clog the day we arrived, so we didn;t have showers for the time of our stay. They brought in port-a-potties within hours of the restrooms being closed, but not sinks or soap.  With CV-19, I was not happy about not having a clean restroom facility.  

    Despite this, however, I was glad I went.  The area was beautiful and peaceful. We went strolling around the redwoods and swimming in the Eel River (south fork). Would recommend.
