Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve Redwood campgrounds 2-6 months in advance for summer weekends, as popular sites like Gold Bluffs Beach and Jedediah Smith fill quickly.
  • 2Pack warm layers and rain gear regardless of season, as coastal fog can create chilly, damp conditions even in July.
  • 3Arrive early at popular destinations like Fern Canyon to secure parking and avoid crowds.
  • 4Bring sturdy tent stakes for windy coastal sites and consider food storage requirements due to potential bear activity.
