Wooded Campground with River Access

Campground is co-operated by State Park and National Park Service… therefore will receive National Park Access Pass discounts!  A lovely campground nestled in the redwoods with river access.  No hookups.  Restrooms have flush toilets.  Showers are also available.  Nice walking trails originate from the campground.  A small history center is onsite.  The amphitheater also has frequent ranger programs.  Sites also mostly level.  Would stay again.

Beautiful Wooded Campground with Hikes Available

Beautiful wooded state park (formerly called Patrick's Point… now called Sue-Meg).  Has campgrounds in the woods and at the beach.  Rest rooms and showers were in good condition.  Nice walking trails through the woods to nice views along the coastline and points on interest within the forest.  Be prepared for potential cool and damp weather… a thick fog rolled in during our stay.  Unfortunate that the RV dump station appears permanently closed… but I was told a free one exists at a nearby state Rest Area along Highway 1.  Would stay again.

Beautiful Campground... Deserves more than one night...

Beautiful campground nestled among the trees.  Drive to campground (we came from the south and departed same way) is true Highway 1 spectacular scenery with narrow road along some cliffs with some hair-pin turns.  (Parts of road were under repair in June 2024 creating some delays.)  Individual camp sites were perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 mile from both entrance gate and camp host site.  Individual sites were good size with picnic table and cleared-out area surrounding it.  RV parking was on good asphalt surface.  Restrooms were clean and had flush toilets.  Unfortunately no showers, no RV dump station, no threaded connections to refill RV potable water tank.  Did have portable water spigots in campground to fill personal water bottles.  Coastal fog rolled in at night and cleared by mid-morning.  We would have loved to hike trails to beach; however, we did not have time.  We will save that for next time we are passing through.

Small City Park... Good Option for short and/or Longer Stays

Small city park with RV Parking on grass between lake and baseball fields.  Sites almost level; however, might need to use a few blocks.  Park was busy with locals using pavilions for birthday and other parties when we visited on a Saturday in June.  Adjacent baseball field was busy on Sunday morning with little league game and parking lot was full.  Cars were being parked in unused RV spots.  Many people were fishing from the shoreline.  Many Candian geese (with poop) were in the dock area and alone the shoreline.  Some ducks made themselves at home in the shade under our RV.  Temperature was considerably cooler versus the very hot temps only a few miles further inland.  Nice that each site has electric / water / sewer hook-ups.  Two rest rooms (one by lake and one by baseball field) were a little dirty due to heavy use.  Unfortunate there are no showers and that you can only walk around perhaps 10% of the lake shoreline.  Quiet at night as they lock the park gate… they give you an access card ($25 deposit req'd) if you need to leave and return after gate is locked at night.  Called and requested my $25 credit after refund was not automatically received a few days later.  Credit was immediately made.  A good option especially if parks along the coast are booked and you want reasonably cool temperatures.  Would stay again.

First to Review
Good Off-Highway Rest Area

Large almost level paved parking area. Good modern rest rooms. Good picnic tables with displays behind rest rooms. Dedicated dog area. Bring ear plugs due to big rig generators and infrequent train horn. Several RVs and big rigs parked here during my overnight stay.
