Paul Dimmick is a nice little campground in the redwoods. Although Hwy 128 runs parallel to it (and not far away), there isn’t much traffic going by so road noise isn’t a bother. The campground doesn’t have a lot of sites, which I prefer, and is first come, first served so get there early if you’re going for the weekend (mid-week is wide open). Sites near the river are best. We stayed in #21 and had plenty of privacy. There’s a path down to the river near the Day Use area; the river was pretty tame, which is surprising for a campground that routinely floods in the wintertime. One strange thing about this campground: it appears to be mostly devoid of wildlife. We saw one Scrub jay and one ground squirrel while we were there and no bees, butterflies, or insects. And there was absolutely no birdsong. Very odd. (Pro tip: Don’t leave your food out overnight on the picnic table or that ground squirrel will spirit it away.) Only mark against the campground is for really stinky/gross pit toilets. No cell service with Verizon, you’ll have to drive into Mendocino for that.
