Absolutely beautiful location to enjoy the northern CA coast and have close access to the Redwoods. We stayed in one of the 4 cabins, which are conveniently located near restrooms and the beach access hike. Showers are about a 5 minute walk away.

Absolutely beautiful location to enjoy the northern CA coast and have close access to the Redwoods. We stayed in one of the 4 cabins, which are conveniently located near restrooms and the beach access hike. Showers are about a 5 minute walk away. We checked in at the main entrance to the state park and were given the code to the door. The cabin was clean and everything was in great condition, besides some broken slats on the blinds. There were 3 outlets in the cabin, which was perfect for our needs. The electric wall heater kept the cabin plenty warm at night. There is space to park directly in front of the cabin, as well as a fire pit. Firewood can be purchased from the camp host nearby. We loved staying in the cabin and would definitely return to this beautiful place!

Agate campground is nice campground on the north side of Patrick's Point State park, with about 38 slots. We were there in March and it was not full. You can access the Rim Trail that flows around the park quite easily. The Rim trail will also give you access to all the view points in the park. The bathroom in the CG had flush toilets and were pretty clean. The surrounding area was clean too. The...

Beware the trash panda's, we had a few visit while we were sitting around the campfire. I shooed them away but the didn't seem too intimidated.

This was a great place to camp! The sites are mostly cut right into the forest, so each one feels secluded. Each one had its own bear box to keep food and garbage safety secured from bears! With the easy walk down to agate beach!

This campground and this park are amazing! There are so many beautiful views and hikes and trails of different difficulty levels. Agate Beach is huge and wild feeling and the sunsets are amazing from down there (unless you're fogged in which is also beautiful in it's own way). This next part is specific to the AGATE CABINS...1) bring a sleeping bag AND pad... There are no mattresses, 2) bring yo... This campground and this park are amazing! There are so many beautiful views and hikes and trails of different difficulty levels. Agate Beach is huge and wild feeling and the sunsets are amazing from down there (unless you're fogged in which is also beautiful in it's own way). This next part is specific to the AGATE CABINS...1) bring a sleeping bag AND pad... There are no mattresses, 2) bring your own camp chairs (there is nothing to sit on inside - we used a food bin for a table), 3) bring quarters for the pay showers if you want one - I found $1 was enough for me...i think it's $1 per minute and 4) I saved the best for last... Bring an electric kettle!!! The cabins have electricity and an adorable electric wall heater. You can plug in your electric kettle for all the hot chocolate, oatmeal, ramen, and dishwater you want without leaving your cabin!!!! You will still be washing dishes at a spigot and sharing a bathroom camping style so be prepared for that. We loved it!!!
