Open — Open year-round with reservations available through ReserveCalifornia. Some sites may be unavailable in the off-season. Maximum stay is 15 consecutive nights.
Hydrologic Outlook issued December 29 at 9:26PM PST by NWS Eureka CA
ESFEKA A series of atmospheric rivers will bring an increased risk for urban and small stream flooding late this week and into this weekend. The first round of rain will arrive Wednesday night into Thursday and provide generally light to moderate rainfall amounts. Locally heavy rain is expected in the King Range. This initial period of rain will set the stage for a more intense rainstorm expected to arrive Friday into Friday night. Current indications are for the heaviest rainfall to occur during the day on Friday into Friday night. The greatest risk for small stream flooding will occur during this time period and probably continue into Saturday after heavy rain has ended due to the lag in rainfall run-off. Road closures will be possible. At this point, the area of greatest concern is in southern Humboldt and northwest Mendocino counties. Small rivers, streams and creeks such as Elk river, Jacoby creek and Mattole river could exceed their banks and flood area roads. Southern Mendocino and Lake counties may also experience heavy rain and road flooding will be possible. Mainstem rivers will also likely rise sharply and will need to be monitored for possible flood stage exceedance. Be on the lookout for watches, advisories and warning as this next heavy rain event unfolds. Stay alert and remember to never attempt to drive through water covered roads. Water may be moving much faster than you think.
About
Burlington Campground offers year-round camping within Humboldt Redwoods State Park, home to the largest expanse of ancient redwoods remaining on Earth. The campground features 57 sites nestled among old and second-growth coast redwoods, plus 3 hike and bike sites for cyclists and pedestrians. Centrally positioned next to the park's Visitor Center on the famous Avenue of the Giants, Burlington provides an ideal base for exploring the park's 53,000 acres of redwood wilderness. The campground's location offers easy access to nature trails that lead to the South Fork Eel River, where visitors can swim and fish. A seasonal summer bridge provides access to additional hiking trails on the opposite bank. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring. The narrow, winding access road through towering redwoods may not accommodate all vehicle types, particularly larger RVs. While the campground is open year-round, some sites may be unavailable during the off-season. Sites not reserved are available first-come, first-served for one night at a time. The park's maximum stay limit is 15 consecutive nights. Burlington serves as a convenient jumping-off point for exploring the Avenue of the Giants, Founder's Grove with its fallen Dyerville Giant, and miles of hiking trails through one of California's most spectacular natural landscapes.
