This was my first experience with overnight backpacking. The site itself is really nice, only 3 miles from the parking lot. Great walk through Tall Trees grove to get there. A few things though: dont believe the backcountry guide. There are 4 picnic tables, but only 3 fire rings and 2 bear boxes. You'll need to share. Plus, the night we were there the rangers issued 5 permits. So we ended up having a bit of a community campfire. We met some awesome people, but it wasnt a "seclusion and solitude " experience. Also be aware that the water (you need to filter) is half a mile down the hill from camp. Fill up at the river as you come in. The compost toilet is fine, not too stinky. Keep your eyes out for banana slugs though! They are everywhere. Enjoy!

Beautiful Park, camp site is okay. 3 fire pits and a couple tables and bear boxes. Good trees for hammocks, camping on gravel bar more picturesque though. Toilet is not working when we went (Oct 2019) Permit is free from park station. Be careful on trails up the hill from 44, there's a branch called the "3 Day" trail that is in total disrepair and overgrown. We had a strenuous time bushwacking along it after we took it by mistake trying to get to Elam Camp. Stick to the Redwood Creek Trail.

I was the only one that evening. There was no breeze, it was so quiet I could hear a leaf fall. No moonlight until 3 am. Late September is a special time of year in that part of California.
