Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park Campground

Excellent site for a day out amidst giant redwood trees in a cool weather. In fact, a few degrees cooler than the nearest town. Don't forget your jackets in winter. The trails are wide and smooth without too much ups and downs. The Redwoods trail offers views of the giant trees, many of them hundreds of years old. There's an exhibit of a giant cut tree older beyond two thousand years. They have ma... Excellent site for a day out amidst giant redwood trees in a cool weather. In fact, a few degrees cooler than the nearest town. Don't forget your jackets in winter. The trails are wide and smooth without too much ups and downs. The Redwoods trail offers views of the giant trees, many of them hundreds of years old. There's an exhibit of a giant cut tree older beyond two thousand years. They have marked the annular rings with dates of historical events. That tree was much older than Christ himself. Amazing. The River trail offers different kind of experience, with the trail winding through meadows along the banks of the ambling river. One can get down there and enjoy splashing in the waters. Lots of herbal plants there. We noticed plenty of bay leaf plants. There are plenty of camp sites, curio stores, cafeteria in the unique railway station, and open space with benches for lounging. Great place for a day out for families.

Went camping here for 2 nights at campsite #65, it was a decently sized site which can probably fit up to 5 tents depending on size, we did move the picnic table to fit our needs (will need 2 or more people to move) plenty of little critters running around, squirrels, birds, and lizards. Did not see a single mosquito but we had citronella incense sticks going anyway, very few bees when cooking any...

Did not see a single mosquito but we had citronella incense sticks going anyway, very few bees when cooking any protein. Bathrooms are nicely lit up at night, plenty of toilet paper, no hand soap so bring your own. Lots of nice trails around for hiking. Firewood can bebought with cash only for $15 per bundle which is a little on the expensive side but im sure it goes towards the upkeep of the campgrounds & surrounding area. Driving into town is about 5 minutes . Overall we had a fantastic time & will probably be back.
