What others are saying about this campground
Standish-Hickey is the perfect place to stay for a vacation or a stop along the 101 Highway and South Fork of the Eel River. The campground is surrounded by tall trees that block out the nearby road noise, and the sites are well-spaced and many are tucked away in the trees for privacy. The campground has a variety of amenities including bear boxes, fire rings, flush toilets, hot showers, water access, and a nearby diner and general store. There is also a great swimming hole and plenty of hiking trails, some of which travel through groves of redwoods. In the summer, the campground is open for tents and small campers and prices vary from $25 near the highway to $45 across the river. The campground is run by a non-profit organization and is a great place to spend quality time in the redwoods and swim in the Eel River.

From The Campground
Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area is the southern gateway to the world-famous redwood belt along California’s North Coast. About 10 miles of trails weave through its steep canyon bluffs, second-growth forests, and clusters of old-growth redwoods. The tallest redwood, the 225-foot Captain Miles Standish Tree, is more than 1,200 years old. A two-mile stretch of the South Fork of the Eel River—with riffles, deep holes, and calm shallow areas—is popular with swimmers, kayakers, and anglers.
