Site # 53 - tent camped 5/16/24 - 5/19/24: The Avenue of Giants is BEAUTIFUL! Did get windy/cold at night so wear layers if tent camping! Pros: #53 backs right up to the Avenue of Giants Campground is in walking distance to the visitor center & a few short trails. Pretty cool to just stroll along the Avenue Potable water Great T-Mobile service - helpful in researching/planning of the day Fire rings & bear boxes are provided - firewood is $10 cash at check in (you’re not allowed to burn fallen branches which is a good thing) Close driving distance to Founders Grove & Rockefeller Loop (a bit further but my favorite!) About a 2 hour drive to Prairie Creek Redwoods & 1.5 hours to Sue Meg State Park (gorgeous hikes down to the ocean!) Cons: Was right across from the bathroom. Good if you have to go at night, but there are so many people passing through to get to the bathroom/dish sink Sites are super close together with no privacy. So close, I could hear people people snoring & turning on their inflatable mats. First night there was a rowdy group of teenagers by the bathroom Bathrooms were pretty gross. Yes, happy to have toilet paper, but inconsiderate people leave pee droplets all over the toilet & the floor. Wet bathroom floors stayed that way until the morning I left, when I saw somebody cleaning them Road noise being right next to 101

Gorgeous campground in the heart of the redwoods. Not private at all and had some unclear rules and noisy neighbors. The facilities were nice and bathrooms/showers were mostly clean. My favorite amenity was the dishwashing sink located at the first bathroom! My second favorite “amenity” was the good Verizon cell phone coverage. Absolutely perfect campground location for visiting the entire Humboldt State Park, only a 10-30min drive to every awesome hike/tree grove.

We walked in here in the long weekend and luckily got the site. There are only 2 walk-ins so you have to be there exactly 2 pm or few mins before that. It has a river nearby so it's good to hangout if you have a dog. Bathrooms are flush, quarter paid showers with lukewarm water. The shower stops abruptly so make sure you have extra quarters handy to avoid coming out covered with soap and lather. I think the shower should beep a few seconds before so that person underneath it will be prepared to finish the bath. And campsites are very close to each other. I felt there is no privacy since the site next to ours had a bigger group. Apart from these, the location is really beautiful surrounded by redwoods. Dog friendly campsites.

Camping amongst the redwoods! Burlington campground is located off the redwood highway between Weott and Meyers flat. There are approximately 55 campsites spread around, including several bicycle-only sites. There are bathrooms and pay showers available 24/7. They have onsite firewood bundles for $10, and the friendly camp host can deliver them to your site in his quiet electric cart. Each site has a bear box for food storage, and bear safe garbages placed throughout. This is a very family and dog friendly campground with many families riding scooters and bikes, and dogs at many sites. The techie in me was a bit disappointed I only had 1 bar of service with ATT, so video chatting, uploading pictures, and researching local to-dos was a no-go for the evening. I will be back to explore the river trail!

great place for camping! there are bathrooms and coin operated showers. we arrived late at night and woke up to views of the tallest redwood trees i've ever seen! the only negative would be how crowded the space is on weekends. you're packed in like sardines and can easily hear your camping neighbors in the sites next to you. you're also facing the Avenue of the Giants so the road sounds can be disruptive if you're sensitive to that.
