Nice for a stop over but wouldn’t want to spend too much time there. It was hot the week we stayed there. We were under the impression you are next to the water. In fact you have to walk down a trail to get to it or drive to the day use area. There were a couple groups from Oregon that were there to party, but that can be common at most sites.

Great camping area with decent privacy between campsites. The host that was there while we camped was very meticulous and the restrooms and showers were immaculatley cleaned. You could hear the river from your campsite, so relaxing and riding my bike around the park was so much fun. A trip to town was so close and driving thru the Redwoods is an amazing experience. Can't wait to go back and enjoy it again.
