What Guests Are Saying

Grassy Flat Campground offers a simple and clean camping experience, with spacious sites and beautiful river access. While it lacks flowing water in bathrooms and campers need to bring their own water, it serves as a good alternative to busier campgrounds in Redwood National Park. Some noise from the road and nearby campers can detract from the peaceful atmosphere, but overall, it provides a pleasant camping option.

Map not accurate for site locations. Site 15 is tight and trees need cut to make it better or just use as a tent site

A great campground if all those in redwood national park get filled up. No flowing water in the bathroom but overall is pretty good. Remember to get a fire permit even for gas stove.

Very convenient, spacious sites. Hidden from road but there is road noise. Campers should know to bring their own water as taps don't work.

I found the campground clean with other attendants observing rules and quiet hours. All in all it was a peaceful night beside one of the most beautiful rivers in N. California.

Too close to the road to be peaceful. Wish they’d expand into the back loop near the water. Fine spot but not a first choice. Fairly empty during a summer week. Nice river / beach access wasn’t too crowded.

Had a family next to us with a toddler screaming nonstop for 2 days. Really brutal, made me wish for a camp host.

Took a chance staying outside of one of the big park campgrounds because they were full and so happy that we did. Site 18 was large enough for three tents and plenty of leftover room. Road noise was apparent but it wasn’t too bad at night. The river is a fun little spot with deep enough areas to swim and skip rocks, perfect to send the older kids to for an hour for some quiet time while making dinner after a long day in the water. Bathrooms were kept clean and stocked with toilet paper. Camp host was non-existent the 5 days we were there with an off duty/do not disturb sign up the whole time. For a busy weekend we expected some support especially when we had questions about the mountain lion sighting warnings that were up everywhere. We did see a house cat roaming around, not sure what the story is on that but it would not let us approach.

Our site (#21) was an fine place to pitch a tent - flat, grassy, and this site happens to have a tree for shade which was nice. But the campground is nothing more (or less) than a large meadow, so you hear and see all your neighbors. Some of ours were pretty loud, and several decided that their music was what everyone in the campground should be listening to. Also they hear and see you, which I don't care about but some people might. In addition, there's a road running along beside the entire length of the campground. It isn't a busy road but it does get trucks that can be loud at night. The opposite side of the campground has a creek, which would be nice for swimming except that the only places to access it are through other people's campsites. We managed to make friends with some people and they didn't mind us walking through their site, but I wouldn't want to count on that.
