Humboldt Redwoods State Park Campgrounds

North Coast & Redwoods


The park runs three campgrounds, along with environmental camps, trail camps and a horse camp. Year-round Burlington Campground is beside the visitor center and near a number of trailheads; Hidden Springs Campground is 5 miles south along Avenue of the Giants; and Albee Creek Campground is on Mattole Rd past Rockefeller Forest. The latter two are seasonal (generally late spring to early fall).
