Humboldt Redwoods State Park Campground and Trails

When we visited the park in 2017 we drove through in one day. This time we stayed at Burlington Campground so that we would have more time to walk/roll on the trails. 

Burlington Campground is a figure eight loop with 58 sites. The roads are narrow, the curves are tight, and the sites are short so, according to the park website, trailers and RVs are limited to 24' however the reservation site accepts RVs up to 30'.  In the photo we're in one of the accessible sites, #54, and there is room in front and back of us so a longer RV will fit. The accessible sites are close to the restrooms and have wide parking pads. They do not have paving to the tables and fire rings.

The  visitor center is next to the campground - an easy walk along the road or on the path that goes through the amphitheater. The visitor center is accessible. The most interesting exhibit is Charles Kellogg’s Travel Log which he built in 1917 and drove around the country to spread the word about the need to save the magnificent redwoods.

Five trails are accessible.  We walked/rolled on four of them. Founder’s Grove Loop Trail and Fleishmann Grove Trail start across from the visitor center. Founder's Grove is almost level and very accessible. Fleishmann goes slightly downhill and has a few cross slopes where wheelchair users may need assistance. All of the accessible trails have an informative sign at the trailhead.

Founder’s Grove Loop Trail is accessible with many old growth trees. RVs can be parked along the road  near the trailhead.

 Drury-Chaney Loop Trail has an accessible 1.6 mile loop with an additional loop to make a 2.4 miles round trip. We walked/rolled the accessible loop. This trail is the most difficult of the three trails with a rolling terrain and a few steep cross slopes. RVs will fit in the pull offs on both sides of the road. Park  40.30819, -123.90869
