Summary
It offers dispersed camping only—no established campsites—on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations or fees. There are no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables, so campers must be fully self-sufficient. RVs can access the area, but there are no hookups. Tucked among redwoods and firs, it provides a quiet, off-the-grid experience near the Smith River with nearby hiking and fishing opportunities. Best visited May–October when roads are accessible, Kingsley Glade is ideal for those seeking solitude in a lush, forested setting.

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.
