Learn more about alerts →Redwood-section campers, especially site 15 area, get creek sounds, shade, and real separation from neighbors. Hike to the 100-foot waterfall or the historic lime kilns, lock your food against raccoons, and book the full six months out because this fills immediately.
Ocean sites like #11 get Highway 1 traffic noise and neighbor generators after dark, and the cramped spacing makes privacy minimal. Rodent problems hit the lower sites hard, and at 43 miles from the nearest grocery store, you're arriving fully stocked or paying camp-host prices f

Summer brings the most reliable conditions. Mid-60s to low-70s during the day, 50s at night. Marine layer typically blankets mornings then burns off by midday, revealing clear ocean views. Spring and fall see more unpredictable shifts: sun to wind to fog within hours. Winter storms roll through but temperatures rarely drop below the 40s. Layer your clothing. The coast's mood changes fast, and that's part of the deal.
Summer offers most reliable conditions and cleared marine layer midday; peak season activity noted.
