With timing aimed at summertime visitors, the 107-space campsite at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is now open following extensive renovations and upgrades. Improvements to aging infrastructure include new ADA-compliant restrooms, accessible pathways and updated signage and wayfinding upgrades.
The campground, which typically operates from spring through fall, makes the April reopening the start of a full camping season with these newly upgraded facilities. Main features of the campgrounds are ADA-compliant pathways for improved accessibility and the installation of accessible seating at the Campfire Center. Located in a shady pine and oak forest with a separate entrance from the day-use area, this campground is one of the more popular within the county. The campground is situated near the Santa Cruz Sandhills habitat – a rare ancient marine deposits home to endangered animals and plants.
