My favorite place in the world. I’ve camped here probably 60 times, and we have never had a bad experience. Except the year that the plumbing backed up and they closed the restrooms. Great campsites, although I am not telling which is my favorite. This is a perfect place to camp with friends and family in adjacent campsites. Flush toilets and coin operated showers. $1.25 gets you 5 minutes. There... My favorite place in the world. I’ve camped here probably 60 times, and we have never had a bad experience.

The river in early summer is accessible for kayaks, but even more fun in late spring. The river is also worth exploring at night. There are bats, frogs, and amazing stargazing by the Eel River. There is no more beautiful forest than an old growth redwood forest.

Sites were nice and maintained. Bathrooms were clean, and it's really pretty there. I stayed in the off season, so I don't know what it's like in the summer months, but I enjoyed my time here.

Ugh I wish I wasn't writing a 3 star. I definitely wanted it to be a 5 star but it is a literal roll of the dice on whether or not you are going to have a peaceful experience due to the campsites being SO CLOSE together. We had site 28BU and the first night was nice because we had very quiet respectful (adult) neighbors only on one side of us (#29) but today when we returned from our long day of... Ugh I wish I wasn't writing a 3 star.

We had site 28BU and the first night was nice because we had very quiet respectful (adult) neighbors only on one side of us (#29) but today when we returned from our long day of hiking we came back to a family of 5 plus a dog. The kids were all very little, very vocal and very active (oldest being about 8 years old) and you must see the pic I've posted to see how close their tent (red) was to ours (blue). I don't see how this could possibly be considered 2 sites and not a shared site. I also cannot understand how the campground is a literal free-for-all as far as dynamic especially due the close proximity of the sites. No reserved areas for families with children. No reserved areas for couples etc. Whoever can just book wherever and you just have to deal with what you get. We ended up packing up and were lucky to find vacancy at a motel close by because you are not just camping alongside your neighbors at 28/26 you are quite literally camping WITH them and let's be honest, not everyone would willingly sign up to share a campsite with a family of 5, but here, that can quite possibly be the case. Ofcourse no refund and they weren't able to accommodate us with another site that we expressed we would've happily paid for even though there were several empty sites.

Beautiful campground set right among the Redwoods! Some sites have more relative privacy than others, some have giant trees or stumps, some are wide open. We stayed in site 38BU in a large SUV with a rooftop tent, and we're very happy with the amount of trees and scenery surrounding us. You can see in the photos, we had plenty of room for another vehicle or a couple of other tents. Facilities were... Beautiful campground set right among the Redwoods!

Facilities were very clean and close to this site, and the park visitor center is adjacent to the campground. The entire campground is ALWAYS in the shade because of the tree density.
