Arrived late around 8 pm. You need change for the showers. 1$ is one token which is 3.5 min warm shower. The tokens you can buy at some off the restroom/showerhouses, they are marked on the campground map. The map you can just take when entering. The showers are warm and have a great pressure. The restrooms were clean and had good light. Every site has an own fireplace and table, benches. Loved it here. The atmosphere give trough the trees and the little river is amazing. I paid 35$ for one night. Every one has a parking spot. Would definitely recommend this stay!

I like camping and off season camping is even better. But this place is quite popular and even so it did not feel like other camp grounds where you are really close to the next site. Some sites are well shaded and some sites have plenty of sun. The bathrooms are clean and the showers warm up quickly. Bring something to carry water because not every site has a faucet. If you forget an item or don’t want to cook a meal check out the lodge. They have quite a verity of items and a decent selection of menu items in the cafe. Cell coverage is spotty at best but if you take a hike on the valley view trail to the lookout spot your phone should get four or five bars easy, enough to post the cool photos you have taken on your favorite social media site.

Wonderful camping spot! We went there last weekend. Kids were having lots of fun there. Our camp site was close to the river. Morning walk was also perfect. Kids also love the Blue Jay in the forest!

Good people there! We stayed on Xmas eve and the campground hosts did a mini electric light parade with their carts. It was so cute and special! They have laundry and hot showers, flushing toilets! You are camping directly in the red woods. So its pretty amazing! I liked site #2. Small but had fallen redwoods with moss on them. Also it's about 10min walk to the lodge if you want a good meal. To add they have vegan options as well. Also near by is the trail head to Pfeiffer Falls! I would say if you are going for rainy season be prepared for closures on hwy 1 and also about only half the sites are available. Flooding and landslides happen in the area quite a bit.

Granted, we were informed that our reservation had been cancelled (would have sucked hard) but they had a different site available so we took it! Was much better, couldn't see neighbors. Could hear them- that way OK. Cooked up a storm by campfire. Been here twice, will do again. 5 stars.
