This review is for the swimmers delight campground just down the road. This campsite is nestled in a stand of huge redwoods right along the river and has some truly spectacular camping. The campground is owned and run by the Humboldt County Parks department and was clean, quiet, and beautiful. It’s $30 per night and has hot showers too. The river is slow moving and shallow but it has several deeper spots suitable for swimming. Dogs are okay as long as they stay on the leash. The campground hosts were friendly and helpful. They also have change for the showers. We spent some time playing with the stand-up paddle board and soaking up the scenery. I highly recommend stopping by here and spending the night.

Next to Hwy 36 is a secluded group camp spot in old growth with a meadow and a river beach. Trees have see many humans come and go, but their spirit continues. Well managed and kept clean by friendly park staff and Ranger. Pit toilets cleaned daily, gas stove in large kitchen under cover, water from well and tower on site. Volleyball, two horseshoes games, and other games provided. String led lights there and lit with generator or battery you provide.

If you’re looking for an outdoor wedding venue, where you and your family can have a low-key camping atmosphere, then look no more because I think you’ve found the perfect one! There’s no cell phone reception so you’ll be sure to have that unplugged ceremony that every couple hopes for. Instead of being on their phones your guests will be able to fully celebrate and spend time with each other. This space is great and offers a lot of great spaces for camping, as well as wedding photo opportunities! We’ve enjoyed all the weddings we’ve photographed here, and look forward to more in the future!
