This summer my friends and I want to camp somewhere on the Oregon coast. What are two of the best campsites that offer privacy from other campers, tent sites, showers, and lots of scenery and fun stuff to do or see? Tell me why you like the campgrounds you picked, please.

Thank you!

Answer
Fort Stevens is the most familiar one, and i've been there myself and it was great!!

What are the 5 best camping areas on the Northern Coast of California?

We are looking for great camping areas north of San Francisco along the coast. We want to stay fairly close to the ocean, have dogs, bikes, hiking shoes and a tent. We will go as far as the Oregon border but hopefully not that far.

We hope to stay in 2-3 different locations with different environments.

What are your favorite camping areas and why?

Thanks so much!

Answer
My favorites are:

Van Damme State Park just south of Mendocino. This park has a sheltered cove that is great for kayaking (tours available), and a really nice trail up the Little River. Mendocino is worth a visit.

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park (Elk Prairie Campground). This park has wonderful redwood forests. Don't miss the drive out to the coast. The hike through Fern Canyon is a must.

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park (almost to the Oregon border, but the best campground on the list). This is a spectacular campground on the banks of the Smith River. Stout Grove is just across the river from the campground and is one of the most magnificent groves of redwoods I've ever seen. The drive on Howland Hill road is incredible (dirt road, passable in most cars).

Not bad:

MacKerricher State Park. On the coast with lots of harbor seals.

Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Albee Creek Campground (may not have trailer sites). The nearby Rockefeller Forest is the largest old-growth redwood forest left in California. Rumors are that the tallest tree in the world is in this grove, but the people who measure these things are pretty secretive.
