20mi from Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park · 3 sites · Tents, RVs · Klamath, CA

Tucked away at the edge of the Klamath Glen neighborhood, our family-owned campground has been welcoming guests for over 40 years. Surrounded by towering trees in the heart of Redwood National Forest and just a few minutes from the Pacific Ocean, this is a true hidden gem on California’s North Coast. We offer a rustic, old-fashioned camping experience. It’s a mix of open field and scattered trees, with both RVs and tent campers on site. Neighbors will be nearby, but the vibe is quiet and relaxed—especially in the off-season, when you might have the place nearly to yourself. The Klamath River is just over the levee—a short walk from your site—with great access for fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. The river is world-famous for salmon and steelhead fishing (license required). August and September are peak fishing months, so expect a few early morning engines from folks heading out. We’re only 4 miles off Highway 101, far enough to enjoy peace and quiet without traffic noise. Wildlife is part of the experience here, so please stash your food at night to keep critters out of camp. Outdoor lovers will find plenty to explore nearby—hiking and biking trails, the Trees of Mystery, Jet Boat Tours, and, of course, miles of redwood forest to get lost in. A few things to note: Firewood available Cell service can be spotty, depending on your carrier. Free Wi-Fi is available and reaches most of the campground. Electric car charging is $10 per charge. Please arrange ahead of time—50 amp service is limited, and you’ll need your own adapters. Well-behaved pets are welcome. Kids and laughter are always welcome. Dry camping, 30 Amp and 50 Amp pull-through sites available if you are going to be coming in after 10pm , just shoot me a text and let me know and I will give you instructions as long as you send me the text before 9:00 PM

The Smith River Complex Fire took our property on August 16th, 2023. Updates on our progress here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fucaTaOwf5c PLEASE NOTE, 4WD is required in order to access the sites. Please message me if you have any questions prior to booking. Sustainable Ecovillage is an off-grid project for sustainable living. If you are looking for a unique experience and up for rustic accommodations among goats, chickens, a permaculture food forest with a few off-grid perks, we welcome you to join us in our mountainous, wilderness paradise! Our 160-acre property is surrounded by about a million acres of National Forest. Our neighborhood is all made of trees, huckleberry bushes and animals. We love it here. It is very remote, peaceful, and functionally sustainable in its focus. The closest neighbor is a Buddhist Hermitage about a mile up the forestry road. Also, supposedly, Sasquatch live here! (it is the epicenter for documented sightings). Most visitors to the area are interested in spending time in the redwoods – we are about 30-45 minutes from the nearest entrance to Jedediah Smith Park, home of Stout Grove and other beautiful redwood hikes. Driving into Crescent City, about 45-60 minutes, winds you right through the "gentle giants" on your way to or from Redwood National Park. We are self-sufficient, and sustainable in a relatively primitive set-up, especially after the fire this year. It's mountainous and remote, and we have a community agreement about no smoking (of any kind) on our land.

Cornerstone Ranch is a pristine Ranch of about 500 acres on the Rogue River and against the Pacific Ocean offering too many experiences to count. You can even bring your horse... FYI, Hipcamps map for site locations is not correct. Two go next to the driveway and the other four follow the creek. From the South GPS is very accurate to our driveway. Coming from the North, GPS may drop you a few driveways away as that is the property line. Keep driving about another 1/8th mile until you see the large red "Cornerstone Ranch" sign. That is our driveway. Welcome... The ranch offers 6 different campsites. Campfires are allowed (outside of burn bans), and there is a toilet in off season and Port-A-Potties during the summer on site as well. Reviews from guests: "During the night we could hear Elk and the nearby nature! When we woke up we got to visit with the horses, use the really clean port-potty, and chat with Bonnie and Chris the Hosts. They have tons of recommendations, but our favorite was the Indian creek cafe across the river. The areas so great and clean and the host cares about their guests! Would recommend!"

The best camping in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, CA guide

Overview

About

The northernmost of California's redwood parks, the densely-forested Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is home to seven percent of the world's old-growth redwoods, spread out over more than 5,500 acres. It's a popular spot for hiking and camping, and the park’s location on the Smith River makes it an ideal destination for fishing and summertime swimming. The park has four cabins and 89 campsites, each with a picnic table, a fire ring, and a bear box, and while there are no RV hookups here, some sites can accommodate motorhomes up to 36 feet in length.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis from October until early May and are available for reservation from May through September. Cabins are reservable year-round.
You can reserve campsites and cabins using the online ReserveCalifornia system, or by calling California State Parks.
Cabins and campsites go live at 8am, six months in advance.
Hike-in and bike-in campsites are also available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you arrive at the campground to find it full or have trouble reserving a site, you may have better luck at Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park or at one of the area's private campgrounds or Hipcamps.

When to go

The best time to visit the park is from July through September, when temperatures are at their warmest and rainfall is at its lowest. July and August tend to get more crowds due to summer vacation, while September tends to be the sweet spot if you're looking for warm weather and fewer crowds. Peak fishing season is from October to February, but if you come between late fall and the end of spring, be prepared for a lot of rain.

Know before you go

The nearest place to pick up groceries and supplies or fill up your gas tank is Crescent City, an 8-minute drive from the park.
Make sure to pack out all garbage and keep food, beverages, cookware, and toiletries in the provided bear-resistant lockers.
Firewood is available for sale from the camp hosts, but gathering firewood in the park is prohibited.
The visitor center, cabins, and many of the campsites and restrooms are wheelchair accessible.
While fishing is allowed in the Smith River, there are restrictions, and anyone over age 16 must carry a license. Details are available through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Two wonderful night in the Redwoods

I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a few nights exploring the Redwoods. It's very close to a few fantastic groves. It was quiet, and I felt very safe being a single female traveler. No hookups for electricity - at least not at campsite 4, but there was water and a bin to store food and trash for curious bears. For $35 a night, you can't beat it! There was also a beautiful nature trail around the area. The Smith River is nearby and worth checking out too.

Report from your Shirtless Host Steve This is the last large state park before you get into Oregon.. It is off HWY 199. A must to stop at It has camping hiking fishing swimming in the Smith River And the Howland hill Rd. A must to drive though. Off this Rd. Is the Stout Grove Loop also the Boy Scout tree trail and off Hwy. 199 is Simpson Reed Grove Loop If you primitive camping ( get a access permit ) take little bald hill trail Unbeleaveable hike both in and out Out the back of the camp is a foot bridge. ( summer only ) is a hoot Over the Smith This park will accommodate R.Vs up 36 ft. No hookups Camping is fun but family camping is the best So bring your friends and family and camp at Jedediah Smith

Much preferred this Jedediah Smith campground over Gold Bluffs campground in Redwoods National Park. Nothing beats waking up in a majestic redwood grove! It is a busy campground, but most of the sites seemed to be spaced adequately apart with plenty of greenery to provide seclusion. Close access to the river and to Stout Grove nature walk.

Report from your Shirtless Host on Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park If you headed south from Oregon or north to Oregon on Hwy 101 or east or west on Hwy 199. You have to stop and camp at this Park. This park has a few of the tallest Red Woods in the World. Also this is a 5 star park in it self. The camp grounds are clean and it has Cabins, hiking trails, the Smith River running though it. Camp sites right on the river it most likely an adventure of a life time for you and your family! You are right in the middle of the redwoods so be ready for redwood dust. But that's the price you pay for such a beautiful place. Don't forget it is pay showers. Things to do is kayaking,wild life viewing and visitor center Shirtless Host Steve

Well worth the drive! Beautiful campground, every site feels secluded. Snag a river site if you can. Warm clean showers to boot - bring quarters. Check out Hiouchi Café for pancakes so large they spill over the side of the plate. Nearby Stout Grove is a must for ancient trees, take in the stillness.

We LOVED this campground! We camped at one of the walk-in sites and it was 100% worth it...the walk isn't even that far (as in, I could basically still see my car!). Giant Redwoods, beautiful ferns and foliage surround every campsite. Each site has its own character! The river is a short walk from the campground and absolutely beautiful. We were also impressed with the very nice bathrooms and showers! This was the most magical and relaxing campground in the Redwoods. We will definitely be back!

Incredible place. There are sites on the river and sites in the redwoods, honestly they are all fantastic. My husband and I actually stayed in one of the cabins here overnight on a whim - the cabins are equipped with fo-fireplace that pumps out heat (we stayed on Christmas night in December) it was warm and adorable. They have lights, a broom, a fan, 4 bunks, and a perfect shelf for all your cooking and supplies. The place was 100% spotless which I always appreciate. The cabins were accessable too! A fire pit and a grill were ready to use. Giant red woods towered over us. It was one of the best camp sites I've ever stayed at.

There are a decent amount of sites, but most are separated by massive Red Wood trees. The campground was only a short drive to Crescent City which is an awesome place to get a nice dinner. I can't wait to go back.

Easy drive-up campsites, quick (5 minute) walk to the river. Close to some amazing hiking spots, and surprisingly close to the Oregon border. Sites have picnic tables and bear lockers, and hot showers (with coins)/restrooms. Sites are relatively close to one another, and there are lots of families with kids.
