Great location, nice showers, clean campsites, and the river was beautiful!

Great campground though the maintenance of the bathrooms was minimal when we were there for a weekend. The river is gorgeous with a deep swimming hole.

Comfortable park. We had sun and mild temperatures the first week of June, with plenty of shade in the camp site. We stayed Monday through Friday, and there were only a couple of other campers on our loop until Thursday night. Bathrooms were well stocked and maintained, and showers are $2 for 15 minutes. There is a market across the street with pretty good stock but, of course, steep prices. ("Never don't stop at the Peg House!" - Ice was about $1/lb.) Also there was a restaurant we didn't try under the same management. They had free live music on the patio Thursday afternoon (which I didn't hear from the campground). Downsides were being a little close to highway 101, lots of poison oak, which we managed to avoid, and some sort of leaf dropping fungus afflicting the laurels (I think?). Also, remember your bug spray! (They are only fierce for a couple of hours morning and evening, so my botanical stuff worked as well as wifey's super extra strength chemical.) All in all, a very nice campground, but not IN the redwoods like Richardson Grove 20 miles further north. We'll try that one next time.

Campground was closed. It is off season. Understandable, but should be listed on website. The park looked like mostly camping facilities. There was a trail, but we didn't pursue.

I stopped on a whim and am extremely glad I did. The staff was very nice and very friendly, the sites are huge and clean. There are big open spaces and great hikes. I came during the blue-green algae bloom so no swimming for me or the dog, but it was still absolutely beautiful. I'll definitely be back.

Standish-Hickey is a small park with tons of campsites for tents, RVs, trailers, and adventure vans. It has showers, very clean bathroom facilities, ample water spigots, and tons of receptacles for waste disposal. It is an ideal spot for families looking for something easy right off Highway 101. Just be sure to bring earplugs for sleeping, because you will hear highway traffic.

My wife and I camped for 2 nights at Rock Creek campground. While it has potential to be a really cool place, it seems in disrepair in my opinion. I will say the restroom facilities and staff were great though. But on to the negative. Redwood camp, which seems to be the most convenient for distance to recreation and more seclusion, has been closed as there is no longer a bridge to get there, so you're left with the two other camps to the north, Rock Creek and Hickey, which are really close to hwy 101 (our camp was probably 60') and quite the downhill trek to get to the river for some recreation. The sound of Harleys and big rigs kinda dampens the getting away from the traffic experience of camping. Additionally, the trails are in disrepair and require crossing the river to get there. Mill Creek Falls trail, for example, is permanently closed. I hiked up to Standish Tree and back real quick, but could tell the trail was hardly ever used. I will say we made the best of it (the swimming area is 👍), but the traffic noise, and difficulty getting down to the river and the trails made the experience just OK. So if you're looking for seclusion and relaxing recreation, you may wanna look elsewhere. I really hope they get the place up to snuff. I'd love to camp down at Redwood camp and give it another go in the future.

Quickly stopped by here while driving down the 101 and was surprised by just how beautiful the area is. There's quite a bit offered here, including three fairly large campgrounds, some hiking trails, and swimming in the river that runs through the area. I would highly recommend at least stopping by and spending some of the day here if you're not wanting to stay longer to camp.
