Richardson Grove Sp Madrone Cabin Area

About

The Madrone Cabin Area at Richardson Grove State Park offers a unique lodging experience among some of California's most impressive old-growth coast redwoods, many exceeding 300 feet tall and over 1,000 years old. The four rustic cabins date back to the historic Madrone Campground established in 1922, providing a charming blend of historic character and basic comfort. Each 12x20 square foot cabin features electric outlets, lighting, wood flooring, a covered porch, a small electric faux-wood-burning heater (not suitable for cooking), and four platform bunk beds. Mattresses are not provided, so guests must bring sleeping bags or pads, along with cookware, utensils, towels, and a flashlight. The cabins lack private bathrooms, but a restroom building with flush toilets and coin-operated hot showers is located a short walk away. The park offers easy access to the South Fork Eel River, designated a National Wild and Scenic River, providing summer swimming and winter salmon and steelhead fishing opportunities. Nine miles of hiking trails wind through the redwood groves, including gentle paths past unique trees like the Chandelier Tree. Highway 101 bisects the park, making access straightforward seven miles south of Garberville.
