Redwood National and State Parks

Crescent City, CA

Redwood National and State Parks, a majestic expanse of ancient giants and lush greenery, beckons visitors to Crescent City, California, with its awe-inspiring beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Stepping into this verdant wonderland, one is immediately dwarfed by the towering redwoods, some reaching heights of over 350 feet, their massive trunks creating a cathedral-like canopy overhead. The air is crisp and clean, scented with the earthy aroma of damp ferns and fallen leaves, transporting visitors to a world untouched by time.

The federal and state governments have entered into one of the only co-management agreements in the country to help preserve what is left of the old-growth redwood forest. In the Crescent City area, Redwood National Park surrounds three state parks: Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Del Norte Redwoods State Park, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. California State Parks manages the campgrounds within this area.
