Once you adapt to the drive, this place is gorgeous and magical. Wonderfully easy, great people, beautiful campsites.

Stayed in one of the cabins -basic but comfortable, and such a great shelter during rainy days. The campground has plenty of tent and RV sites, all surrounded by beautiful redwoods. There are multiple trails leading right from the campground into the ancient redwood groves -absolutely magical! The park is peaceful, well maintained, and has a nice visitor center with helpful info. Loved that there’s also an electric vehicle charger on-site. A perfect spot for a relaxing nature getaway!

Nice campground, with spacious sites. Clean bathrooms and showers. Park brochure makes it seem that hiking is limited, but we had a beautiful 4mile hike through Redwoods, meadows, and past the famous "Hendy Hermit's" hut. Lots of nearby wineries and cider orchards. We did tastings of both. 45 minute drive to Mendocino on a beautiful road through the forest. Will be back again to explore more.

I want to give this campground all the stars, but I can’t and this is why: Went with my adult daughter in late August 2025, the host and rangers were super nice and the assigned spot for tent camping in the Azalea loop was very spacious and lovely. We saw many deer in our camp site, a big spider, a scorpion living in the crack of a tree and a salamander. The loop trail was close to our space and it was a nice walk among the redwoods backing up to the Apple orchards next door. Definitely check out Gowans cider!!! The problem was mainly with the facilities. There is no soap in the bathrooms and no hand towel paper or blowers and you have to pay for showers! The wood bundles are pretty big and cost $10 so the extra pieces adds up and that’s ok, but paying $45 per night for a tent site with no soap or way to dry your hands then pay extra for showers is not a deal and makes the $45 seem overpriced. We had just stayed in Oregon at Harris Beach and I have to say, they’ve got the California redwoods beat when it comes to comfort. Be sure to bring everything to the bathrooms at this place. I would love to go back again if they update the amenities… I mean come on HendyWoods!

Took the family for two nights to experience camping in a small cabin. Each cabin has only two wooden beds but can sleep up to six people. We tried using air mattresses, but they made a lot of noise, so I recommend cushion pads instead. The family loved the small heater. As for the trails, they’re easy and about 1.5 hours round trip, with a beautiful forest to enjoy along the way.
