Huckleberry Campground is on the west side of Highway 101 in magnificent Richardson Grove State Park, 1,800 acres of beautiful coast redwoods along the Eel River.
Richardson Grove State Park features miles of gentle, scenic trails meandering among the redwood groves. A number of special trees along the trails include the Walk-through Tree, the BatTree, and the Chandelier Tree. The coast redwoods are over 1,000 years old and soar to over 300 feet tall. Trails are lined with Redwood sorrel, ferns, and mosses. Summer is the best time to visit when most of the facilities are open - campgrounds, the visitor center, and the nature store. Programs in the summer include campfire programs, guided nature walks, and Junior Rangers.
Birds common in the park include bald eagles, great blue herons, and pileated woodpeckers. Other wildlife visitors may encounter range from deet and foxes to river otters. The Eel River flows through the park providing wading and swimming in the summer when water levels are safe and fishing for salmon and steelhead (catch-and-release) in the winter.
Huckleberry Campground offers 36 campsites. Nine sites are designated for tents only, while the rest can accommodate RVs, trailers, and tents. The campground is arranged in two loops between North Creek and Durphy Creek. A Hike & Bike campsite, for those arriving on foot to bicycle, is available. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and a food storage locker. Drinking water is provided in the campground along with flush toilets and showers.
A swim beach on the Eel River is near the campground.
