There is a TON of day-use visitors in this part of the park. Please make sure you secure your property and keep it safe. While we were in the campground we saw tons of bikes, radios, and other items left out in campsites. After being a law enforcement park ranger for 20 years I can't tell you how many thefts we saw in campgrounds. 

These sites do not have a ton of shade but a lot of times this campground can be really foggy with marine mist. Make sure to pack lots of layers of clothes to fight off the chill.

Sites are pretty flat with a fair amount of space between them. 

Getting to this campground can be a process. While we were there we saw 22 cars lined up at 2 pm trying to get on the road towards the campground and beach access. 

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is managed cooperatively by the National Park Service and the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The park offers the best of both ocean camping and Redwood National and State Park access for hiking and exploring.

How to get to Campground

Located six miles off Hwy 101 at the end of unpaved, Davison Rd. 

This unpaved road travels through Coast Redwoods that are amazing! The dirt road is not large so you will want to be prepared to yield to oncoming traffic. This is not a road you want to speed down.
 
The Redwood forest you drive through is absolutely gorgeous.
