"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"
$35 / night
"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."
$35 / night
"The shade from the redwoods makes this a cool haven from the hot California summers. Campsites are mostly shaded. Campsites are large with good fire pits and picnic tables."

$35 / night

"Lots of shade throughout area but limited privacy due to proximity of sites and road noise. Bathhouse has water and basic shower amentities."
"earlier in the year before the water warms and it fills with algae. theres swimming and hiking on site as well as the ranger station to explore. the redwoods are beautiful but the campground is directly adjacent"
"The park is nicely situated among the trees with an easy access from the highway, right near the entrance to the Avenue of the Giants. Would stay here again."
"Central enough location to souvenirs, the immortal tree, 7 state parks, and the south fork eel river. Campsites are close. Showers are included in camping fee. Laundry is $2 to wash. $1 to dry."
GuideWe had a great nights stay here. The Pub is fantastic! Great staff, store, heated pool. There is a moderate trail down to the river.
TravelerIn my opinion some of the best camping I’ve done on the California coast. So worth paying the $15 a night fee to camp. Very scenic area with lots to see and do, also very “remote” feeling area. Getting there was so slow and tedious for me. The road from Ferndale (Mattole road) is paved but very rough in some places. Took me three hours to go 30 miles due to my rig being old and having to be very cautious in it. Also be prepared for very steep grades, almost smoked out my brakes cause I wasn’t in a low enough gear.
ScoutThis campground has full hookups, conveniently located south of the Redwoods State and National Park and the Pacific Ocean.
GuideRight in the middle of the Avenue of the Giants you will see trees upon trees. Central enough location to souvenirs, the immortal tree, 7 state parks, and the south fork eel river. Campsites are close. Showers are included in camping fee. Laundry is $2 to wash. $1 to dry. Only 2 machines. Firewood (8 logs) can be purchased @ camp host site for $10
TravelerReally enjoyed the showers and tent camping. Space.
RangerTried to camp here with a 20ft travel trailer and I turned around before I even made it to the gravel road. Road is narrow and steep with low hanging trees. The further I got down it the more incomfortable I got. Ended up turning around while I still had a chance to. Tow and rv here at your own risk.
RangerStaying here for a few night from the coast headed inland. Quiet little campground. Pit toilets and potable water. Camp host on site & super friendly (she brought us homemade cookies upon arrival!)
Pretty shaded campground - my solar seems to be holding out to run basic things but my starlink is very spotty. There is 1-2 bars of 5G here. The campground is right off Highway 299 so it is noisy. There is creek access but it is down a steep, long trail.
Our campsite is quite spacious with fire ring and picnic table. Was busy when we got here on Sunday (1/2 full) but cleared out Monday. There is a swimming hole at Big Rock River Access just 1.4 miles down the hill. Beautiful river. Town is also 1 mile away where there is gas, coffee, grocery store, etc. it’s the big foot capital of the US! lol
Camping fee is $10 per night, cash only. They do not have the QR code to scan to pay like some do.
Overall nice spot to stay when passing through.
RangerThis campground is essentially a paved parking lot with numbered stalls. It sits about 200 yards from the BLM Samoa Sand Dunes, which is the main attraction. There is even access to them from the parking lot. Was here over a weekend, and it was pretty back with ATV and Side by side riders and rigs. Overall, it was a good crowd and respectful of the quiet times posted. There are two coin-operated showers, bathrooms, and a trash receptacle. Never saw the camp host, but there is a trailer for one. Park ranger does come by and verify payment. The payments envelopes and drop box are on the front of the bath house. The wind can get pretty bad as this site sits between the ocean and Humbolt Bay, so be prepared for that. Each outlining site has a fire ring and picnic table, as well as water. No sewer or power.
GuideI’m in camp 8. Perfect spot up on a bit of a hill and seemingly separated from the rest of the small campground. Everything, camp spots, bathroom and (potable) water pipes are well maintained. Only down side is the highway noise but it is not obnoxious. One bar of ATT but enough to do this review.
