  This was an interest spot. We only stayed here because Big Basin was all filled up. And I'm not sure we'd stay here again, but overall this was a fine place to go. The problem is that you have to drive over to Big Basin and pay the day use fee. The campground itself is laid out kind of wonky. More signage would be very helpful. Unfortunately, our campsite was a mudpit. It would have been nice if the camp maintenence folks could have brought in sand or pine boughs or something to make it less muddy. Also, though they said no alcohol was allowed in the campground, the young adults in the group camp area were partying it up - beer bottles plainly evident. Also, the one-way, semi-private road leading to the campground was reminiscent of the movie Deliverance. o_O Despite all that, we did manager to enjoin ourselves. There's actually a lot to do for kids. Since this area was formerly owned by HP and used as a company retreat, there's a Frisbee golf course, tennis courts, basketball courts, kids play area, and more. We did a nice 2 mile hiking loop through the second-growth redwood trees and we got to see tons of banana slugs and salamanders. And the trail connected to all the Big Basin trails so you could go much farther. Your experience may vary, but in a pinch, this was a good camp site. However, book early and stay at Big Basin if you can.

  Beautifully located amidst the redwoods, Little Basin is a wonderfully developed campground with a pleasant balance of grassy open medow and forest. Most campsites are in the shade of the redwoods, but a few enjoy the sunny medow. There's also a scattering of cabins throughout the grounds. The restrooms have running water and flush toilets, and the group camp area also has showers. There's a fantastic covered dining pavilion with kitchen for use by groups. The general store really doesn't offer much more than a nice check in experience, but there are a few refreshments and firewood available. The campground is prefect for relaxing by the creekside and hiking trails through the big trees. There's also a nice ball field near the group area, and a modernly equipped playground for the youngsters.

  We had a really good time for our first trip to this area to camp. We liked the campsite but felt the fire pit/grill was too tall to use as a center of warmth. Our site also had a separate grill from the pit. We will definately come back and reserve #30 again.

  Beautiful campground with large campsites and bathrooms available. Each site has plenty of space for tents as well as picnic benches, fire pits, and food lockers. Can't beat camping in the middle of redwoods!

  This is an awesome place to go camping m. If you want to get away from the busy pace of the Bay Area, this is the spot. So natural, yes you won’t have wifi or cell phone service but that’s the beauty of it! You are just one with Mother Nature! Bring bug repellent and you should be fine.
