Albee Creek Camp

About

Albee Creek Campground occupies a historic homestead setting within Humboldt Redwoods State Park, offering 40 family campsites scattered across second-growth redwood forest and open prairie. Located 5 miles west of the Avenue of the Giants via Mattole Road, the campground provides convenient access to the world-renowned Rockefeller Forest, home to some of the tallest and oldest coast redwoods on Earth. Sites vary from deeply shaded forest settings to sunlit meadow locations, accommodating tents, trailers, and RVs up to 24 feet in length. All sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with coin-operated hot showers, flush toilets, and drinking water nearby. Bear lockers are provided and required for all food storage. Recreational opportunities include hiking and mountain biking on nearby trails, swimming in the South Fork Eel River (4 miles east), and wading in Bull Creek and Albee Creek. Four ADA-accessible sites (4, 26, 28, and 35) feature accessible restrooms with showers and adjacent parking.
