Jedediah Smith Campground

I have to admit that Jedediah Smith Redwoods Campground is my favorite Redwoods area campground. There is just something amazing about this campground. It is peaceful, scenic, and the campsites are great.

This state park campground offers the opportunity to see under old-growth redwood trees! The campground has both tent/RV sites and hiker/bike sites that you need to walk into.

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is part of the Redwood National and State Parks complex which includes multiple state parks all created to protect Old Growth Redwood Trees.

The park was established in 1929 along the last major free-flowing river in California the Smith River. Almost all of the park is watershed for the Smith River and Mill Creek which is a major tributary. Within the park, you can explore 20 miles of hiking trails and nature trails along with river access, a visitor center, and a nature store.

The campground offers easy access to quite a few hiking trails including the Boy Scout Tree Trail, Stout Grove Trail, Hatton Loop Trail, Little Bald Hills Trail, Mill Creek Trail, and more.
