BEAUTY ONLY THE CREATOR CAN MAKE. BREATHTAKING, THE TREES, WILDLIFE, WE SAW HUGE BEAUTIFUL YELLOW BANANA SLUGS...MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE CAPTIVATED. WE HAD OUR TRAIL MIX STOLEN BY A WELL CHOREOGRAPHED CHIPMUNK GANG. THE DEER WERE AWARE OF US, BUT WERE NOT SCARED. TRULY A VISIT TO CHERISH.

It is in great location and it was the only park with availability on short notice. The bathrooms are nice and showers were good. The sites are many and right next to each other. Don't let the thumbnail photos when you are booking fool you. Generally there is thin strip of ferns and bushes separating you from multiple other sites. We were at tent site 138 and judging by the thumb nail it looked secluded. We were surrounded by three sites. You will hear your neighbors if/when they aren't considerate. Everyone likes to stay up late and make plenty of noise when it is full. People making noise and talking loud until 3 AM on night. Same people yelling obscenities at their neighbors the next morning. Doubt the frail elderly camp host had much of an impact on that after it was brought to their attention. As well there is a loud tower signal tone that starts early in the AM. Can be heard easily at camp. So, don't plan on sleeping in. I have camped all over the US we were on a cross country roadtrip when we booked and stayed there. This was easily the most annoying experience during the whole trip.

Beautiful campsites amongst coastal redwood groves. Local trails are unmaintaned, so go to Jedadiah Smith State Park for superior hiking. One purchase gets you into 5 local National & State Parks.

Hidden, rustic, tranquil, spectacular. Open May through September. Reservations strongly recommended. Your smartphone will only function for photos. Come prepared as there are no hookups. Water stations are spaced between campsites. Only overnight campers are allowed in, no day use visitors. Trailers are limited to 24 feet, and motorhomes to 28 feet. An ocean beach and full service town are just 6 miles away. Shangri-la awaits you.

Magical. Spiritual. Whatever your creed, you will feel a swelling in your soul when you walk among these ancient, living monuments! My favorite trails and groves butted up to the Smith River, one of the clearest rivers I've ever seen. Beautiful is an understatement. I'm going out on a limb to declare Redwoods my favorite National Park. And I've been to a lot, including: Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Tetons... All the ones typically rated highest. It's a bit difficult to plan a trip to Redwoods because there are no entrances or fees, and the national park is made up of numerous state parks. Most of the old growth groves are in state park areas and the national park encompasses surrounding areas that have mostly been logged. Don't wing it like I did. Buy yourself a book before you get there. But even winging it, we lucked out and found some amazing groves. We camped in the Mill Creek campground which is the coolest campground I've ever been in. I kept thinking dinosaurs were going to be around every corner. Give yourself ample time because this park is huge.

Was a beautiful place. The food in Crescent city was delicious, the beach was sunny with a cool breeze, the hikes were everywhere and we got to pet a shark at the Aquarium.

Stunning and breathtaking views! This is really worth the travel. A lot of beautiful sceneries and lot of places to check out. We camped for 2 nights and it was serene, peaceful and well maintained. We enjoyed the beautiful and challenging hike around the redwoods took a quick dip in chilly pacific waters, waited for a spectacular sunset which had a romantic feeling and a sense of accomplishment of just being there. Memorable experience but be extra careful with wild life as that’s their territory.

This place is magical... Damnation Creek Trail is spectacular spectacular! We saw only 3 people and decided to go all the way to the coast despite the warning signs. So majestic... We caught the sunset bit walked back to the car in total darkness. Totally Worth it!
