Patrick Creek Campground

Our favorite part of the Redwoods. Jedediah Smith Redwoods is breathtaking. Patrick Creek was the perfect place to stay. Our kids, 7 & 8 became Junior Rangers at the Hiouchi Ranger Station. They gave great tips for places to take our kids, which included climbing on amazing downed logs at Simpson-Reed Grove and a hollowed log forming a tunnel to walk through across the street at the Hatton Trail (not the loop), and Stout Grove for a 3000? year old tree.
Our campground host was amazing, she brought our kids Smokey Bear comics and a coloring book. The only downside was mosquitos, so bring protection!!

nice camping area, but traffic noise was annoying. Trails need clearing of overgrowth, picnic area nicer than campground. The day I arrived three days ahead of season closing in mid September the temperature was 93 degrees. There should be a longer season to avoid the summer heat open earlier and stay open later.

จุดพักแคมป์ปิ้งขนาดเล็ก มีเพียง13 จุดเท่านั้น แต่ละจุดอยู่ติดกัน บางจุดโชคดีมีพุ่มไม้บังแต่บางจุดก็โล่งพุ่มไม้ยังเล็กจึงมองเห็นกันบ้างทำให้รู้สึกไม่เป็นส่วนตัว มีก๊อกน้ำสำหรับดื่มหรือใช้ทำอาหารหลายจุด ห้องน้ำสะอาด flush toilets ไม่มีห้องอาบน้ำ ไม่มีไฟฟ้า ไม่มีล็อคเกอร์เก็บอาหารสำหรับป้องกันหมี มีถังขยะใกล้ๆ
แต่ละจุดมีโต๊ะและแคมป์ไฟ มีฟืนสำหรับก่อไฟขายที่มินิมาร์ทในปั้มน้ำมันใกล้ๆกองละ 10$ ที่แคมป์นี้มีทางเดินลงไปสู่แม่น้ำ มีป้ายบอกทางอยู่ทางด้านหน้าแคมป์ สามารถลงเล่นน้ำได้ จุดที่มองเห็นวิวแม่น้ำจากแคมป์ได้แก่ 7,8,9 ข้อเสียอย่างเดียวที่นี่คืออยู่ใกล้ไฮเวย์ ฉะนั้นคุณจะได้ยินเสียงรถวิ่งเกือบตลอดเวลา and lots of mosquitoes so please prepare!

I prefer smaller quieter campgrounds and that, along with the close Smith River access, takes me back every year. The only drawback is the traffic noise.

It's a nice small campground located in a nice area by the river. Good location for accessing the redwoods and various trails. The site is older and could use some upgrades and TLC. The lights in the restroom didn't work. Trails could be cleared.

Patrick Creek has easy access, good camp sites, convenient water near each site, and good bathrooms. Peaceful and scenic.

I can't say enough about the camp hosts Tim and Terry, our truck broke down in our site and it took 2 days to get a tow truck up there. Tim managed to shuffle camp sites around to accommodate us. He lent us fire wood and generally remained upbeat and helpful. The camp itself is a wonderful place with easy access to the river. I look forward to returning there (and bringing Tim a few bundles of firewood)

Love the campsite we had, love that it is a small campground. We had a blast and the Camp Host was great! Will be back again

Nice little campground close to the river. It was very hot when we were there. There was a problem with the water. We could use the toilets but no water. Our spot was fine. We had excellent dinner on the other side of the road, at the Lodge!

We enjoyed the campsite and location of the campground. I think the amount charged was too much for not having potable water in the campground. One site I checked with under amenities said there was water.
