We didn’t have a lot of time the day we visited the park and just walked the Redwood Grove Loop Trail to see the giant trees. Some of the trees have markers, so visitors can learn more about the park… Full review by xcschlr

The only accommodations within the park are camping spaces; however, there are hotels and B&Bs in the area (e.g., Brookdale Lodge, Fairview Manor, various Airbnbs). This is a small but beautiful park with two sections: The main area, off Hwy 9, has a Visitor's Center, Nature Store and trails. The Fall Creek Unit, off Felton Empire Road, offers miles of hiking, the old Lime Kilns, creeks and, of course, lovely redwoods.

We've been to Thousand Trails / Morgan Hill RV Resort a couple of times and we love it there too. Campgroundreviews has a good list for Scott's Valley area
Trying to plan a camping trip for 4 families with children, we are not college aged party people. Read in some reviews that rangers are strict and do not allow occupants at one site to congregate at another site. Is that still the case? It would be nice to gather for campfires or meals together.
A:
I know they do not allow hard partying or drinking or noise but you should call the park and see if they will let your family group get together.
