9000 Portola State Park Road, La Honda, CA 94020
Deep-woods tent campers who want genuine redwood immersion: sites #2, #17, and #33 sit well inside the forest canopy, host Sue knows every trail, and 18 miles of hiking start at your doorstep. Spring is the sweet spot, wildflowers, high clear streams, and the best seasonal scores
Anyone planning a trip before spring 2025, the campground is shut down for a major infrastructure project. Also a hard pass for light sleepers near the group sites, which reportedly start blasting music by 7 AM, or anyone who forgets supplies (groceries are 9 miles out in La Hond
Compare with similar sites, watch availability, and build a packing list — Camp Sage handles all of it.
Spring brings the canyon to life. Daytime temperatures reach the mid-50s to low-70s°F, with nights dropping to 40–50°F. Winter rains leave the understory lush, streams run high and clear, and wildflowers and ferns peak. Trails firm up between storms, and wildlife activity increases as songbirds and deer become more visible. Summer mornings often arrive with fog that keeps temperatures cool. Winter storms drench the forest with 40 to 60 inches of annual rainfall, turning streams into rushing channels.
Spring brings canyon to life, lush understory, active streams and favored seasonal reviews.

The Family Walk-in Campground at Portola Redwoods State Park offers a variety of amenities for campers. There are flush toilets and shared pay showers available in the main campground area, which cost 25 cents for two minutes. Drinking water is accessible on-site. Firewood can be purchased at the park office or from the camp host. The campground enforces strict 'crumb-clean' rules to protect the endangered marbled murrelet, with bear boxes provided for food storage. Picnic tables are available at campsites, and although Wi-Fi is unavailable, the natural serenity makes up for the lack of connectivity. Trash and recycling facilities are provided to reduce waste.
