Beautifully kept campsites. Bathrooms and showers were huge and very clean. Tons of great hiking. The visitor center was so charming and the hosts so welcoming. All nestled in the most gorgeous redwood Grove, with river access as well. We met many families who had been coming to the park for 20+ years. We can't wait to do the same.

Beautiful campground set among the redwoods along the Eel River. Facilities are well maintained, bathrooms and showers are clean and well kept. Most campsites are wide, flat, and well separated. I will not hesitate to camp here again!

The cabins are clean and convenient. There are two rooms with no door in between. Both rooms have an exterior door each and one bed( one queen and one tween). No pads, you'll need pads and sleeping bags. The cabins have electricity and heaters.

Not my fav campsite but it did have clean bathrooms and a sink to wash dishes. Absolutely no privacy and the campsites are right next to each other. For 35.00 per night it's not worth it. I've stayed at places for 19.00 that were much nicer. It didn't help that many campers here are also lacked basic human etiquette although there were many nice people as well.
