Camping near Redwood National Park
Redwood National Park has several camping options scattered throughout its ancient forests. Elk Prairie Campground lets you sleep among massive redwoods with good hiking trails just steps from your tent. If you prefer the coast, Clam Beach Campground sits right by the ocean and works well for kids. RVers often head to Kamp Klamath RV Park and Campground near the Klamath River, which has full hookups for larger rigs. The park borders the Pacific Ocean, so fishing and kayaking are popular activities when the weather cooperates. Summer brings crowds and warmer temperatures for beach days, while winter camping is much quieter but can be wet. Campground amenities range from basic sites with pit toilets to more developed areas with showers and flush toilets. You should book ahead, especially from May through September when sites fill quickly. When not at camp, you can drive the scenic roads through the park or head to Orick for groceries and supplies. Both tent and RV campers find good options throughout the park. Bring layers and rain gear since coastal weather changes rapidly, sometimes within hours. Following Leave No Trace practices helps keep these forests healthy for future campers. The combination of giant trees and coastal views makes camping here worth the trip for anyone who loves natural settings.
