Had a great time with my family camping at this site. Bathrooms were very clean and well stocked with single ply toilet paper and soap. Showers are also clean with a bench and hook for hanging your clean clothes. As many people have said showers are 25 cents per minute.

Each campsite layout is different and ours had the fire pit in a weird spot. That being said we appreciated the big picnic table and with maneuvering we could fit 3 cars (2 SUV and one compact). The site has ranger talks and plays movies occasionally which is nice for families.

As for wildlife: Lots of blue jays, chipmunks and we saw deer. Bears do roam the area and we never saw any but they were spotted two days before we checked in.

Short drive to Crescent City to see the sites (lighthouse, Ocean World Aquarium, shops, SeaQuake Brewery-great food & beer) or the larger trees in the redwoods. We hiked the Grove of Titans with 2 toddlers which is about 20 mins away. We would love to come back again.

Recently we spent the 4th of July weekend at Jarrell Cove and we had a great time. The campground is very family friendly (we have a toddler) and quiet. They had more amenities than I would expect: they had free wifi, loaner life jackets, little library, and kids packets from the park (coloring pencils, bookmark, coloring page). Bathrooms are clean with a shower. A short drive to Harstine Island state park is great for collecting sand dollars and clams, you see a ton of little crabs and we went kayaking. I read previous reviews and they do have deer that roam and when we pulled up there was one at our site to greet us.
