Nestled in the peaceful Redwood River valley, Lower Campground offers spacious, family-friendly sites perfect for RVs and trailers, all within a short stroll of a refreshing swimming pond and accessible nature trails. While sites are generous in size, they're positioned relatively close to neighbors, creating a social camping atmosphere rather than a secluded retreat.
Lower Campground: open, flat, grassy sites along the river suitable for RVs and trailers and close to the swimming pond; Upper Campground is more wooded and preferred by tent campers for privacy.

Fall transforms the valley with autumn colors and attracts hunters to the surrounding area, extending the camping season for those seeking cooler temperatures and quieter trails.
