Summary
Reservations aren’t required—sites are first-come, first-served with a small nightly fee. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and seasonal potable water. RVs are welcome, though there are no hookups. Campers enjoy towering redwoods, river access for swimming and fishing, and nearby hiking trails like those in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The vibe is peaceful and natural, ideal for a quiet escape. Best time to visit is late spring through early fall when the weather is warm and the river flows gently.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
