Learn more about alerts →Hikers who can arrive Thursday or Friday morning will find a clean, well-maintained site under heavy redwood and Douglas fir cover. Sites 14-16 sit highest on the hill with the best views. Spring weekdays are the sweet spot: wildflowers, cooler crowds, and 55-70°F days.
No reservations means weekend arrivals often find the lot full by mid-morning. No showers either, and the fog condenses off the trees onto your tent every night regardless of season, so a waterproof setup isn't optional here.

Spring delivers the sweet spot: daytime highs 55–70°F, nights 40–50°F, green hills, wildflowers, and clearer views as winter rains taper off. Weekdays are quiet; weekends draw crowds but nothing like summer. Fog is the campground's defining feature year-round. It rolls through the redwoods and condenses into drip. Campers call it tree rain. Even summer mornings can leave tents soaked. Fall and winter settle around 50°F during the day, cool enough for comfortable hiking. Summer days reach the 70s and 80s, but expect damp mornings and cool evenings regardless of season.
Described as the 'sweet spot' with green hills, wildflowers, mild temps and clearer views after rains.
