About

Williams Grove Group Camp offers an immersive redwood forest experience within Humboldt Redwoods State Park, home to the largest expanse of ancient redwood forest remaining on Earth. Located along the iconic Avenue of the Giants, this group campground sits among towering old-growth coast redwoods just half a mile north of Myers Flat. The single group site can accommodate up to 60 people and 18 vehicles, making it ideal for large family reunions, scout troops, or organized group outings. The campground provides essential amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and flush toilets. While there are no showers on-site, campers can use the coin-operated hot showers at nearby Burlington or Hidden Springs campgrounds. The South Fork Eel River flows just steps from camp, offering opportunities for swimming, fishing, and wading during the warmer months. A seasonal summer bridge across the river connects to miles of hiking trails through magnificent redwood groves and into the backcountry, including access to the famous Rockefeller Forest. This is bear country and all campers must properly store food and scented items. The campground has no electricity, RV hookups, or lighting, so groups should plan accordingly with lanterns and flashlights. The peaceful setting among ancient giants provides a unique opportunity to experience California's coastal redwood ecosystem in a group setting.
