Little Basin State Park Overview

Little Basin (State Park) has 38 campsites and is located within Big Basin Redwoods State Park (California’s oldest). One site has water/electric hookups and the rest are standard.  There are also 12 cabins available.

Much of the area was destroyed in 2020 by the CZU Lightning Complex wildfires but a multi-year process is under way to rebuild the park facilities and infrastructure.

Although many trees were also burned, most of the old-growth redwood trees survived.  New plant life is also vigorously growing, and many animals have returned to the area.

Camground amenities will include water, flush toilets, hot-water showers and trash collection. There will also be a visitor center, gift shop, amphitheater, mixed-use trails (hiking/horseback riding), playground and sports field. Cell service is fair in the area.

Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. Each site also has a paved parking spur, table, fire ring and grill.
