Pro: sell firewood there at ranger booth, public restrooms, free wifi at ranger station. Con: if leave camp no cell service until eureka area, 1 lane road each way slowed by construction, a few short hiking trails but nothing to see. Shower $0.50/2 minutes

This is a fantastic glamping area. Wife and I think of these places as a cheap hotel without walls. It's a lovely area with clean bathrooms and warm showers. I found the road noise to be nice to fall asleep to. It reminded me of a Miyazaki movie, but I sleep with a fan all year round. In my opinion, some people are too whiny. The staff was kind and helpful. The scenery was stunningly beautiful! My only gripe was driving from Red Bluff to the camp site over 36. That drive was terrifying for me. That road sucks and I was not prepared for it, but we made it. Thank you Grizzly Creek for a lovely week of taking it slow and enjoying the beauty of the redwoods (which was the first time I've ever seen them) 10/10 would stay again and I plan to go back with my kids.

This was, hands down the best camping experience i ever had. The sites are spacious, the bathrooms were clean, truly the whole park was so well maintained. The rangers were all so nice and helpful, and they walked about often so they were always avaible for questions or to quickly take care of anything that was out of sorts. The reviews about the road being close are true but the trees are huge and ancient, if they haven't been hurt, neither will you. If it is the noise of the traffic you are worried about bring ear plugs, i did but i never used them. I 100 percent want to come back here.

We took our son for his first camping trip here. The park rangers were extremely helpful and nice. They had little scavenger hunts for the kids to earn free prizes. The park was very well maintained and easily accessible. The campsites were hit or miss from what we could see. Some looked well spaced from others, while others looked to be really close to one another. Kind of depends which you get. It is very close to hwy 36. Some campsites appeared to be only yards from the road so something to think about if you're planning on going. We were fortunate that our site was close to the creek. Plenty of area to wade down to. It is very rocky but further down more of a sandy beach. We went during Memorial day weekend and all in all very respectful neighbors. Our son definitely wants to go back.

Clean, small camping areas. Bear safe storage right next to each campsite so you don't have to worry about your car getting dinged up by the local wildlife. Perfect scenery and lovely night shots! Recommend getting there before sundown if you're camping so you can check in at the ranger station.

Stayed at the campground for 4 nights with my daughter. The staff was absolutely wonderful, and the camp host was even better. All sites have a picnic bench, a fire pit, and fire wood is available @ $10/bundle. Some sites are next to the highway, and are ADA accessible

This campsite is gorgeous. The sites are surrounded by large beautiful redwood trees and the Van Duzen river is close enough to hear from most sites. The river was crystal clear. Pete the State Park ranger lead an awesome fireside talk in the evening about the local wildlife. The bathrooms were clean and the sites had well maintained driveways and fire pits. The only thing that wasn't ideal is that it's close to the road and at night the cars could be loud. I felt like it was worth it.

The majesty of the Redwoods is unparalleled. Close to the filming location of the iconic Star Wars scene, this gem of a campground feels secluded. Site 14 has a clear view of the Van Dusen River. The camp host and ranger at this campground were amazing as well. Showers are warm, but I suggest bringing extra quarters.

Beautiful park, but too close to the highway for my comfort level with toddlers. We did however love the river just a short walk away! Wish we could have enjoyed the swimming hole but it was too cold! We loved the tall trees and the atmosphere. Campsites we’re spaced nicely away from other campers and they had nice fire pits for cooking on the fire. :-)
