Camp on the shores of Smith River in state parks or head to national forests for a different view.
Smith River, nestled in northern California, is home to calming waters and riverside camping. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, a world-renowned destination for its towering ancient redwoods, offers camping amid these gentle giants. The park's campgrounds provide amenities for both RVs and tents with amenities like tables, fire rings, and restrooms. There are cabins available for reservation as well. Wake up with the sun on miles of hiking trails, or kayak along the pristine Smith River. Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park is a 20-minute drive from Smith River and offers rugged coastline and dense forest canopies where campsites sit between coastal beauty with forest serenity and provide picnic tables, food lockers, and fire rings. One last stop at Six Rivers National Forest, a diverse landscape of mountains, rivers, and forests, is a must. Find an array of camping options, from developed sites with picnic tables, fire rings, water spigots, and trash service to remote riverfront campsites with vault toilets and drinking water.
