An 18-site Del Norte County campground on Highway 197 beside the Smith River, with redwood setting, river views, and access for small RVs, kayaking, and seasonal fishing. River access is not a swimming-safety finding.
Access details
- Parking
- Use the signed county park on Highway 197; directions target the county's published coordinate rather than the riverbank.
- Viewpoint
- The 54-acre park follows about a quarter mile of the Smith River.
- Trail
- Use designated campground and river approaches under posted rules.
- Public water access
- The county documents river access and kayaking, but does not identify a trailer boat ramp in this record.
- Water conditions
- The county lists tent and small-RV camping and requires pets to be leashed. Check booking, fishing rules, fire restrictions, and water conditions separately.
