About
Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park Campground sits within 4,650 acres of forested land in the Santa Cruz Mountains, famous for its 40-acre grove of old-growth redwoods. The 107 reservable campsites are set in a shady pine and oak forest, separate from the day-use area and accessed via Graham Hill Road. Each site is equipped with a fire ring, picnic table, and bear-proof food locker. The campground offers flush restrooms, coin-operated hot showers with hot water, and potable drinking water throughout. Five ADA-accessible sites are available with accessible tables and fire rings. Generators are permitted only between 10am and 8pm. Firewood bundles are available for purchase on-site. The park offers excellent hiking opportunities including the Redwood Loop Interpretive Trail through the old-growth grove, the accessible Meadow Trail, and miles of forest paths. The San Lorenzo River runs through the park, offering swimming and fishing opportunities. The campground is convenient to Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay area.
