Description

This campground is wheelchair accessible even though it’s located right next to the steep bluffs looming over the Eel River! It features a picnic area and the campfire center, which is the site for popular summer interpretive programs. If you’re tent camping, you might want to avoid the campsites right next to the highway; they’re better suited for RVs.

Meh. Sites too close together, quiet time not enforced, freeway noise at our campsite.

Incredible proximity to river swimming and live music across the street. Getting a campsite that isn't RIGHT next to another party can be tougher.

Loved it here. We were in #34 and #35 with a decent sized groups. The campsites are bigger than they look initially and the facilitates are awesome (they have lights!). Quick walk to the water, right across the street from an awesome shop (Peg Store). Loved it
