We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and had no problem finding a site. Site 49 struck our fancy - fairly large, level, and private. Date of visit: Apr 2008 |
|
|
Many of the sites are intended for tenters, and thus have just a pull-off to the side of the road for parking. This is site 53. |
|
|
Sites 7-20 are located along Mill Creek and limited to smaller vehicles, less than 18'. This is site 16. |
|
|
If you have a bigger rig, there are 6 "parking" spots for you. |
|
|
Site 23. After camping in the CA desert and along the shoreline, the darkness of the redwood forest really shocked us. |
|
|
One of three bathhouses in the campground. This was the oldest, and wasn't in the best of shape. But the pay showers ($.50 for 5 mins) did provide nice hot water almost instantly. |
|
|
There's a nice 1-mile trail from the CG to the site of the first paper mill on the west coast, built in 1856 by Samuel P Taylor. |
|
|
The redwoods trees are certainly spectacular with their height and girth. |

Mill Creek, near the ruins of the paper mill. |

Samuel P Taylor SP, CA
Samuel P Taylor SP is located near the town of Olema, north of San Francisco just off Hwy 1. Located in a redwood grove, it is pretty dark, and sites are rather small. In fact, parts of the CG are restricted to vehicles less than 18'.
