About
Penn Creek Campground offers an intimate camping experience at Sue-meg State Park (formerly Patrick's Point), located 30 miles north of Eureka on California's dramatic north coast. The campground's 14 tent-only sites are arranged in a single loop beneath towering Sitka spruce and coastal vegetation, creating a quiet, forested atmosphere distinct from the park's larger RV-accessible campgrounds. Each campsite features a picnic table, fire ring with cooking grill, and bear-resistant food locker. Flush restrooms and drinking water are available within the campground, while coin-operated showers are a short walk away at Abalone Campground. The park's RV dump station is available for those traveling with portable waste tanks. Sue-meg State Park spans one square mile of coastal bluffs, beaches, and dense forests. Highlights include Agate Beach for rock collecting, dramatic sea stacks and tide pools, and Sumêg Village, a reconstructed Yurok village. Multiple trails lead to panoramic ocean overlooks along the rugged coastline.
Directions
From Eureka, drive north on US-101 for approximately 25 miles. Take the Sue-meg State Park exit (Patrick's Point Drive) and follow signs to the park entrance.
