Burlington is the only open campground in Humboldt Redwoods State Park after Nov 1st. We found this to be an ideal time to visit. Campground half-empty on weeknights; was busier on the weekend but still plenty of available sites available first-come first-serve, though we had reservations. We stayed in Site 20 for 2 nights -- a level, pull-through and large site --but so-so privacy. Then we moved to Site 19 -- level if you park sideways -- a huge and private site. Every campsite has lovely trees. So many hikes within 15 minutes away... highly recommend hiking the North Bull Creek Trail, accessible via Mattole Rd, we hiked about 5 miles and saw no one! The Visitor Center is at this campground and the staff was very helpful directing us to hikes we did every day. Clean campground and clean showers. There is a little bit of noise from Hwy 101, so recommend staying in sites closer to Avenue of the Giants, hence my 4 stars for noise. There is supposedly a dump station here but we forgot to look for it before we left.

This is the most unbelievable campsite ever - each site seems to have at least 2 giant redwoods (mine had 3). Great facilities, location. Forget showing up without a reservation - this play stays booked.

The dense Redwood forest really helps keep the sound down and makes for a quiet stay. We hiked the trails outside of the campground and drove part of the Avenue of the Giants. The campground was clean and our site had a large table, a fire pit and a food locker. We'll be back!

We live in Fort Bragg this a convenient location to come and warm up.

Road tripping in the Northern California redwoods and this is one of the few state parks open in January. Lovely setting among the trees, bathrooms well lit day & night, pretty clean, lots of toilet paper, no soap, hand sanitizer or towels to dry your hands though. Half the bathrooms were closed for repair but no big deal since the campground was not crowded. They do have pay showers but we did not make use of them. Each space had a food storage locker to keep bears out and a fire ring. Fire wood is sold at the registration area. Water spigots are interspersed throughout the campground.
Would have been a 5 star rating but Burlington is close to the highway so you can hear cars and big rigs going by. Fell asleep to the sounds of an owl hooting in between the car noises though!

We hadn’t planned on spending the night here but we fell in love with the Avenue of the Giants! This really is a magically spot and the woodsy smell is something I wish I could bottle! The Humboldt Park Rangers at the campground were awesome and we just fit the Airstream in their biggest spot. The fire pit was great and we bought firewood from the office. There are good walking trails all around, an education center and a gift shop right next door. We will be back! Happy travels!

This campground is nestled in the redwoods so very shady and quiet. The kids enjoyed climbing on the redwood stumps. Thankfully we got a spot without a reservation. Bathrooms are nice, flushing toilets and there are showers but we didn’t use them. Large fire pit, picnic table, and life jackets available for water sports/swimming. Overall a really great campground!

Quite campground nestled among huge old redwood stumps and their surrounding fairy rings of newer trees. This campground has some tight turns between the trees. We stayed in the first loop, as recommended, with our 27’ Airstream. We spotted some corners just to be sure. Site 18 was large enough for our set up, we pulled into an empty site so we could back in. Site 17 would have been big enough as well. I don’t think we would have wanted to attempt the tight corners around the back loop even though there were a few sites big enough for us.
There are no hookups in the campground. Our site was a level dirt site, there are a couple of cement pad sites in the campground. There are coin showers available and both the showers and restrooms were well kept.
The campground is right across the street from one of the groves and next to the Visitor Center along the Avenue of the Giants. There is access to a swimming hole on the Eel River across the street as well.
There is no dump station in the campground. The campground volunteer told us that the Shell Station in Fortuna would let us dump for free if we showed our registration ticket. When we arrived however the dump station was out of order, so we found a free dump station at a rest stop further north on 101.

Came in an hour before sunset and was lucky to get a space. Perfect space for our tent trailer. Redwoods awesome to camp in. Mostly tent campers here so for us, perfect.

In the Burlington campground you are literally camping among Giants. It's a busier campground, especially with tent and van campers, less so with larger trailers for obvious reasons - the loops are extremely tight. We managed to squeeze through the loops at the very back of the campground, but likely only because we have a (relatively) small tow vehicle.
If you have a longer trailer, you're best to stick with the front loop and not the loop at the back due to two extremely tight turns between trees.
If you're relying on solar, don't expect much, we needed to be the only one in the campground running a generator (sorry!).
