Campground amenities include flush toilets, potable water, fire rings with grills, picnic tables, and RV access (no hookups). Campers stay beneath towering old-growth redwoods along the Smith River, creating a lush, shaded, and serene forest experience. Popular nearby hikes include the Boy Scout Tree Trail and Stout Grove.
