"There is a redwood grove hiking trail behind the campsites that takes you from one end of the campground to the other."
"There is a paved space to park above the campsite, and a narrow little path leading down into the site - maybe 10-15 yards, it’s not far at all."
"Camp site 12 backs up to a fence (houses or cabins occupied behind the fence) and had decent space from other sites. Large picnic table, bear locker and tall fire pit on site."
"Every site is nestled among a grove of old growth California Redwoods - books up a long time in advance / I was lucky to get a walk up site. Great amenities and right on Avenue of the Giants"

"We are avid campers that prefer tucked away campgrounds which are often hard to find when you have a trailer but this one has everything on our list!"
"But that is to be expected in the Humbolt Redwoods area of Northern California."
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.
ScoutDrove over to Deerlick Springs from Red Bluff and the gravel/dirt road from the pavement is pretty nice but I wouldn’t take a trailer in there. The campground is overgrown with weeds/grass and I think the store is a house now. There was one camper in the northeastern part but it looks like he lives there. The toilets need some work, appears they haven’t been pumped since last year. Very disappointing! My grandparents used to go there and get the “water” and take baths in the water. As a kid I used to walk to the store for candy and there was always Bingo to play. I also remember feeding the large tame bucks in the “courtyard”.
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.
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!
