Unparalleled Opportunities
Four developed campgrounds—three in the redwood forest and one on the coast—provide unparalleled camping opportunities for families and groups traveling with vehicles (including RVs—utility hookups not available, however). Sites may also be available for hikers and bicyclists (see campground-specific info. below).
NOTE: With the exception of Gold Bluffs Beach Campground (available on a first-come, first-served basis, only), reservations are required for all campgrounds between January and September and must be made at least 48 hours in advance online at ReserveAmerica or by calling 1-800-444-7275.
All campgrounds are operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Discounts are not available for America the Beautiful Senior/Access Pass holders. Click here for more information about California State Park passes.
