About This Campsite

Exploring Big Basin Redwoods State Park

Big Basin Redwoods State Park is a serene escape, nestled amidst towering ancient trees. With its rich tree canopy and lush greenery, this park offers a unique glimpse into the beauty of California's redwood forests. Although it is recovering from past fire damage, the revival is evident, with verdant growth reclaiming its rightful space within the park.

Important Considerations:

  • A number of trails remain open post-restoration, but not all are accessible yet, so plan your visit accordingly.
  • Prepare for changing weather; it can be humid and hot, making appropriate clothing essential.
  • Ensure your vehicle is fueled sufficiently, as the park's roads are narrow and can become congested.
  • Though mobile signals are scarce, downloading offline maps will help avoid navigation issues.
  • Parking availability can be an issue on weekends, so advance booking is recommended.
  • Entry fees apply, with a $10 charge per vehicle, and note that park passes like the America the Beautiful card aren't accepted here.
  • Bring your own water and snacks because there are limited on-site facilities.

Overall Thoughts:

Big Basin Redwoods State Park is a magical destination for nature enthusiasts and campers alike, offering picturesque landscapes and a tranquil atmosphere. The diligent park rangers add to the experience with their welcoming nature and helpful advice. Remember to visit responsibly, respecting both the natural beauty and fellow visitors' enjoyment. Embark on this adventure prepared, and you're sure to have an unforgettable outdoor experience.
