Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on November 04, 2023Many sites right on the beach. Most with good spacing. At the end of a 6 mile gravel road (24' limit, no trailers). Fern canyon, a must see, is an easy half hour hike away, and leads to numerous other trails throughout Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. An enormous beach. Wonderful spot.

We stayed in a site at the far end of the campground with a view of the ocean. It was really a tent site but our van just fit in the parking space. Beach sand is loose and hard to walk on. It was cool to cold and foggy during our trip but that was expected given the time of year. We had some ATT cell service using our booster. Could get a signal without the booster when on the beach. A very isolated spot. One negative: Campendium says there is a dump station but there isn't one. Fortunately, we had enough tank space to make it to our next stop.

Love that we could camp right next to the beach. We even had some elk visitors during the day. We also saw harbor seals playing in the surf. They had nice hot individual showers for free and flush toilets.

Lovely beach campground! No RV hookups and road can be a bit treacherous but worth it if you can reserve a spot! Also a short 4-mile drive/walk to Fern Canyon.
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park was established in the early 1920s as a sanctuary of old growth coastal Redwood. The Park offers great opportunities to hike and explore the ancient Redwood forest and 10 miles of sandy coastline. In addition, there is a visitor center, nature store and campground at the Park. There is also an abundance of wildlife throughout the park including bear, elk, deer, coyote, mountain lion, bobcat and over 260 species of birds.
