What others are saying about this campground
Elk Prairie Campground offers a unique camping experience in the Redwood National State Park. Surrounded by huge old growth redwoods, the campground is nestled in a meadow where elk can be seen grazing in the early morning and at dusk. The sites are private and quiet, with fire pits and bear boxes, and there is a bathhouse with pay showers and a Visitor Center nearby. There are plenty of hiking and biking trails in the area, and the ten mile drive provides stunning views of the redwoods. The campground is not suitable for large RVs, but smaller RVs and tents can fit in the sites. The campground is also close to a creek, and the foggy northern beaches are a short drive away.

From The Campground
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, located 50 miles north of Eureka, California. The park protects 45 percent of California's remaining old-growth redwoods, including lush stands of the world's tallest living tree species, the coast redwood. Visitors can stay at either Elk Prairie or Gold Bluffs Beach campgrounds and explore the park via three scenic drives, 75 miles of hiking trails, and a 19-mile bike loop. The park offers dry campgrounds with no electricity, water, or sewage connections for RVs. The parkway is closed to vehicles on the first Saturday of each month from October to May for Hike and Bike Day. The park is managed cooperatively by the National Park Service and the California Department of Parks and Recreation, along with Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, and Redwood National Park. The park accepts the Federal Access Pass discount. Prepare for rain from November to May.
