Site # 53 - tent camped 5/16/24 - 5/19/24: The Avenue of Giants is BEAUTIFUL! Did get windy/cold at night so wear layers if tent camping! Pros: #53 backs right up to the Avenue of Giants Campground is in walking distance to the visitor center & a few short trails. Pretty cool to just stroll along the Avenue Potable water Great T-Mobile service - helpful in researching/planning of the day Fire rings & bear boxes are provided - firewood is $10 cash at check in (you’re not allowed to burn fallen branches which is a good thing) Close driving distance to Founders Grove & Rockefeller Loop (a bit further but my favorite!) About a 2 hour drive to Prairie Creek Redwoods & 1.5 hours to Sue Meg State Park (gorgeous hikes down to the ocean!) Cons: Was right across from the bathroom. Good if you have to go at night, but there are so many people passing through to get to the bathroom/dish sink Sites are super close together with no privacy. So close, I could hear people people snoring & turning on their inflatable mats. First night there was a rowdy group of teenagers by the bathroom Bathrooms were pretty gross. Yes, happy to have toilet paper, but inconsiderate people leave pee droplets all over the toilet & the floor. Wet bathroom floors stayed that way until the morning I left, when I saw somebody cleaning them Road noise being right next to 101

Had an amazing time camping here last weekend! The staff on site was so helpful! Super clean and well kept. It was truly beautiful sleeping next to the redwoods.

Sleep under the canopy of the Redwoods, among new growth and ancient stumps. Clean. Firepit (firewood for sale $10). Food storage. Picnic table. Restroom/shower. Steps away from the visitor center (must visit for history of the area) and gift shop run by friendly volunteers. Right off the 101 Hwy on Avenue of the Giants. I had wanted to sleep in the Redwoods for years and opted to camp here rather than check in to a hotel. It's cozy, feels safe and conveniently accessible to parks and hiking trails. One of my favorite campgrounds. I will definitely go back.

well ,we(7 adults & 4 children) booked two campsites for two nights, two hours later after setting everything up Park Rangers came to warn us to keep noise down, well we had two 5 years and two 1 years old babies, The children were so excited and happy there ,it was impossible to make them behave like as if they there were in a library, Park Rangers came back later same day to warn us again, No noise or Talking to loud, children still having fun,..Next morning Park Rangers came back with another warning, children were not expected to cry at night, in other words, No noise 24 hours a day, so we packed all our stuff and left, aside from all of that, it is a beautiful place,clean restrooms, NO RECOMMENDED FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN,!!!

Campground right next to the eagle River, and lots of trails without nice old growth. Also nice bike road North and South through the redwoods. Camping is great

Camping under the redwood canopy. Beautiful and clean. A little bit of noise being sandwiched between road and highway. Fun watching birds and squirrels. It's a shame the Eel River across the road is barely flowing and full of algae.
