Great place to camp! The people are nice and everything looks and is clean. Easy to reserve a camp site over the phone. Pulled to the front office and took no time to get our camp site! I would recommend this place to anyone trying to camp around this area.

This is a gem in the Redwoods. It takes tents, motorhomes, whatever you have. We stayed in the cabin. It was gorgeous, well kept clean, it was well done. We will return more often. Especially in the rainy season when we can really enjoy the Redwoods. It was great!

This place was fantastic! It was the perfect home base to see elk, redwoods, and the beautiful Trinidad coastline. Sites were private and the facilities were up to date and sparkling clean.
