Hendy Woods State Park Campground

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of March during an unusually wet and cold winter. So it was, literally, freezing at night. The sites are situated among towering redwoods. Which blocks the amazing clear night skies, but offer there own beauty.
It was great! The nearby towns or phill and boonville are super cute. We are a family of 4 in a 24ft RV. This park is very accessible with many short and easy trails. The hike to see the preserved “hermit huts” were very cool.
Fire wood is available from the camp host who even takes Venmo! Life saver when we always seem to forget cash. There are 2 campground loops. We stayed in azalea and The best sites IMO were 12,19,20. They are large with separate table and fire pit areas and on the outside edge of the loop- so minimal foot traffic and neighbors.

This is a beautiful campground! Cozy campsites with plenty of privacy. The road through the campground is tight and some sites might be hard to back up a trailer into. Restrooms are clean and showers are a nice amenity. We only stayed a couple nights here on a larger overall trip, however I will definitely be back. There are several wineries nearby if you’re into that. There is a Rivian EV charger as well, which was great to see.

We were able to book one of the last sites at Hendy Woods for a last minute getaway. The camp sites were well maintained and well marked, the campground host (Shirley) was friendly and respectful. It is a short drive to Fort Bragg and other coastal attractions as well as a multitude of wineries. I highly recommend stopping by Gowans farm stand for some apple cider- they also have outdoor cider tasting in their orchard (while they did have a non-alcoholic cider slushy available at the time, this is a tasting of their alcoholic offerings). There is plenty of wildlife to see; however, the Navarro River is dried in many places at this time. Finding a place to fish will require some travel away from the campground and some of its surrounding areas.
