Mountain bikes aren’t allowed on the single track lanes, however there are still some great rides. They are excellent for beginners because most of the riding is on fire roads, of which a large portion is paved. It’s not for dirt devils, but the remoteness of the area still makes it a special ride.

So you want to hike through some of the oldest gigantic Redwoods in the state AND frolick around a waterfall? Well, that’s a little greedy, but why the heck not? This is Big Basin after-all and all your dreams can come true (if you dream about these things...I know that we do!). There’s over 18,000 acres to explore, so you can hike all that your heart desires. However, there is a lot, so make sure you check out some of the best hikes in Big Basin Redwoods.

Waddell Beach, located across Highway 1 from the park entrance, is known worldwide as one of THE spots for windsurfing and kiteboarding. The steady, strong North-West winds and good surf provide ideal conditions for this demanding sport. With the strong winds and occasionally heavy surf, Waddell Beach is not recommended for novice windsurfers. Make sure you check wind conditions before you go and have an epic time. Just keep in mind that the beach is about a 50 minute drive away from the campgrounds, so plan accordningly.

Waddell Creek is known as one of the great kiteboarding and windsurfing spots, but it also provides some excellent surf (on the right day). Make sure to see if the conditions are right before you head out. For a detailed “surf map,” check in with our friends at Surfline.

Big Basin is teeming with wildlife (this is a good thing). Sliding along a mossy piece of fallen tree you’ll find banana slugs, while foxes dart through the nooks and crannies of the lush forest. This forest is very much alive and you will see this in almost every step you take!

Very nice campground. Hike-in spots are just like 100 yards from the the parking spot. Bathrooms are surprisingly hotel-clean :-O. The hikes include three decently sized waterfalls and tons of redwoods!

This is a beautiful area with fantastic, long trails, so you can't go too wrong getting a campsite anywhere in Big Basin Redwood State Park. That said, site 60 in Huckleberry is right beside the parking lot and across from the bathrooms/dumpster, so I probably wouldn't pick it (or surrounding sites) again. It's also pretty close to the other sites, so you can hear their music/see their fire. Overall, more of a quick-and-dirty party site than a secluded getaway.

Campsite 60, complete with a picnic table, fire pit, and storage container. The trees were beautiful to look at and protected us from the torrential downpour.

We bought firewood in Boulder Creek on the way in. Rain gave us a run for our money gettin' it going.

Beautiful campground, though some sites are small if trying to fit 2 tents in. Great restroom/shower amenities, and just a very short car ride to the park HQ where many of the popular trailheads are (can park at the HQ lot). My only knock against Big Basin is that it's one of the most popular and crowded state parks I've visited, so need to reserve very early in advance.

Lovely campground - amazing to be able to sleep surrounded by giant redwoods. We came here on a rainy weekend in the fall and camped in the tent-only spot 61H. Though it's next to the restrooms, it was a quieter weekend so there wasn't too much noise or light distractions. And on that note, the restrooms were the cleanest I've seen of any campground!

However, beware if you're camping here during a particularly rainy period - we (along with most others in the campground) packed up a day early. Because the tent pitch areas are lower than surrounding areas, you may end up with your tent submerged in a few cm of water! I'm hoping to come back again to fully explore the Sea to Skyline trail.
