Flint Ridge Camp

Road was fairly accessible and well maintained although very narrow. Free blackberries at the parking lot and campsite. The campsites are free but require online reservations, fire pit and picnic tables. The bushes and trees gave us privacy but blocked our view of the ocean. Very pretty

Fantastic camping area with great views and a chance to be alone in a grove of redwoods. The campsite backs up onto a 5 or 10 mile out-and-back trail into old-growth forest. In three days of camping, we only encountered 1 other person in-camp or on-trail. Each campsite offers a table, fire pit, and bear-safe storage locker.

This backcountry campground was amazing. First of all, the maps currently takes you the wrong direction! When you get to the loop, GO LEFT. The GPS wants you to go down a one way to the right. The camp sites are about a quarter mile walk into the woods, high above the ocean. There are picnic tables, fire rings and a bear box at each site. We ended up cooking our hot meals down in the parking lot, which also provides an amazing view. Now, the best part. We went down the road to see if there were any trails and we took one towards the sounds of Sea Lions. We were surprised when we were quickly next to a huge group of seals, sea lions and birds all hanging where the river meets the ocean. For hours we watched them sleep, fight, bark, catch salmon, and swim. Could of been there all day honestly.

This is an amazing beautiful camp area and drive. It's definitely good to get away from the busier tourist area's of the Redwoods although still near to civilization with cell service even in the camp ground. Spotty on the road though. The camp is a1/2 mile hike up into the woods, mostly elder with brambles and wild flowers and even mint, from the dirt road and parking lot. It has eight sites with 2 that have double picnic tables. The sites are all far better than most other campgrounds. By permit only. The out house is an environmental compost and you may wish to use the more serviced one at the Bluff on the way in where there is a beautiful overlook and picnic area with trash cans. The camp is pack in, pack out. Take Alder Camp Rd Wich is eeriely beautiful in itself.

You can't ask for a better place, only 1/4mi hike in from the road. There is a path down to the water from the parking area too! I highly recommend you take it down to the beach and check out the crashing waves, caves, and huge piles of driftwood. It would be a great place for a secluded beach fire. The campsites themselves are great with a fire ring, bear box, and you can gather firewood too. There is a lot just past campsite 8.
