Wildcat Campground

88 sites · RV, Tent, Lodging

Cool, clear mornings in the heart of the forest is what the two campgrounds inside Hendy Woods Park, Azalea and Wildcat, promise.

Set between Little Hendy and Big Hendy groves, these campgrounds have 43 and 49 spots, respectively. Each site has a table, a barbeque stove, food locker, and nearby access to piped drinking water and hot showers. There are also four small cabins available, and the more adventurous can make the trek to a hike-and-bike camp as well.

Your guide to camping in Wildcat Campground

Overview

Biking

Four hike-and-bike campsites are available to cyclists visiting the park. For information on riding in the park, contact the park office.

Boating

Motorized boating isn’t really available at this park, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore via watercraft! Grab your paddle and check out the kayaking and canoeing section of activities.

Fishing

No fishing is allowed within the park, but catch-and-release fishing is possible from the one-lane "Prune Belly Bridge" on the Philo–Greenwood road near the park entrance.

Hiking

Big Hendy has an amazing display of Redwood groves at their greatest. By far the best redwoods in Hendy Woods are in Big Hendy, an 80-acre redwood grove. Big Hendy Trail is a level, 1.6-mile trail that we highly recommend, the Upper Loop is definitely the most impressive part...check it out and frolick around some big a** trees!

Paddling

There are over 20 miles of kayaking or canoeing to be done on the glorious Navarro River. It’s kinda awesome because the river is lined with redwoods and can be completed by a novice paddler. For more info, check out our friends at American Whitewater.

Swimming

Keen for a dip in the fresh mountain water? Well you can jump straight into the Navarro River. This swimming hole is a safe haven when summer temperatures become unbearable.

Wildlife watching

Hendy Woods is perfect for any animal lover! The woods are rich with wildlife such as mountain lions, deer, gray foxes and black bears.
