The Sinkyone Indians, who lived in this region for thousands of years, had relatively little impact on the redwood forest. They were hunters and gatherers for whom salmon and Tan Oak acorns were staples. Redwood planks were for housing. Redwood root fibers were used for basket making. Redwood logs were used to make canoes. As elsewhere in California, the gold rush changed their way of life forever.

Humboldt Redwoods State Park includes more than 52,000 acres offering magnificent groves of old growth coast redwoods. The park offers: hiking trails; fishing canoeing and Swimming in the Eel River; family, group, horse, bicycle and backpack camps; a visitor center with exhibits and bookstore; scenic drives; and seasonal interpretive programs such as campfires, nature walks, and Junior Ranger programs.

There are three campgrounds offering 250 campsites that can accommodate from tents up to 24' trailers and 3 sites that can each accommodate a 33' RV. There are no hookups in any of the campgrounds. Dogs are allowed, but not on the trails or Environmental sites.
