Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park

The park, established in 1927, has approximately 50% old growth coast redwood and eight miles of wild coastline. It was named one of the Top 100 Family Campgrounds in U.S. survey conducted by ReserveAmerica.

The mixed under story includes tanoak, madrone, red alder, big leaf maple, and California bay. Ground cover is dense with a wide range of species. Vegetation is predominately red alder which will eventually give way to fir and second growth redwood.

The topography is fairly steep with elevations from sea level to 1277’. The predominant mountain range is oriented in a north-south direction with steep cliffs adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, making the bulk of the rocky sea coast generally inaccessible except by Damnation Trail and Footsteps Rock Trail.

Wilson Beach or False Klamath Cove
This 1/2-mile of sandy beach is meant for strolling and provides excellent tide pool viewing at low tide. It is not safe for swimming due to the steep beach slope, rocky conditions, frequent rough seas and cold water.

Location - Directions

Seven miles south of Crescent City, turn east on the campground road. The camp is two miles east of the highway.
