Living in Northern California, I've been trying to take advantage of all the beauty our state has…read moreto offer, and the Battery Point Lighthouse is definitely one of those gems worth visiting! It's not just a lighthouse, it's actually a California Historical Landmark with so much character and history. You can only access it during low tide, which makes it even more magical (and a bit adventurous!). There are signs warning people not to cross during high tide and seriously, don't do it. The ocean can get wild out there! I went on a Saturday evening after 5 p.m., and the tide was already too high, so I played it safe and came back Sunday morning. Totally worth it. We had our coffees up there, and it honestly felt like being in a romantic movie scene. The weather was perfect, the ocean breeze was fresh, and the view was absolutely stunning. The lighthouse itself has such a cute, storybook charm. It even survived the 1964 Alaska earthquake and tsunami, which adds this incredible layer of resilience and history to the place. I didn't get to see any whales this time (though I heard you can spot them sometimes!), but there were plenty of seabirds flying around, adding to the coastal vibe. There's a park nearby with parking, so it's super convenient. And fun fact, according to their website, you can actually have your wedding there! How unbelievably romantic is that? If you're ever in Crescent City, take the time to visit Battery Point Lighthouse. Go early, bring a coffee, and just soak it all in, it's one of those places that makes you fall in love with the California coast all over again.

AMAZING PLACE TO VISIT!!…read more During my first visit to Crescent City I also got to experience my first visits to the Redwood National & State Park. Day 1 - Jedediah Smith State Park & Stout Memorial Grove, and Day 2 - Mill Creek Trails & Grove of Titans. Mill Creek Trails & Grove of Titans was the best experience of the the trip as he walked and hiked through through the Trails surrounded by the dense forest all around us. The entire area was a beautiful site as we got to experience all of the enormous Giant Redwoods all around us. And the Grove of Giants was an absolute sight to see. Overall: Definitely a must see when in the local area, to experience an amazingly preserved part of California's coast and forest beauty.

There is a bike path that goes along the parking lot and grass to sit on while you take in the beautifully rebuilt harbor. There was a Tsunami wave that hit Crescent City in 2011 that did damage to the harbor. They have really put the money they got to good use. It's neat to walk around and check out the big fishing boats and even the crab pots while there are signs that tell you about the harbor. We come here because it's safe and clean, my wife used the public restroom while we were there and she said they were very clean, like I said there were people on bike , kids playing catch with a football , the cars were driving slow. We enjoyed our stop into the harbor and we look forward to coming back soon, highly recommend

However, last night I wanted to go to dinner. A car parked in front of me and curb was pained red. Meaning no park. The young cop told me that red line means nothing.

This is perfect. That's for clarifying this.

September 7-10, 2025, Crescent City, CA…read more Campground is open from May through September. It's been a few years since I've camped here, but this campground remains one of the most beautiful I have ever camped in. Most of the sites are spacious and private. No cell service at all, so plan accordingly. There are quite a few camp hosts, so if needed, someone is around to help should you need assistance. The maximum length for a motorhome is 28 feet. Our motorhome is 27 feet, and the kiosk staff questioned us on the length. But we were within the limit, thankfully. Our motorhome is tall, so we were very careful to watch for low-hanging limbs, which was an issue last time we camped here. We had no problem on this trip, though. Unfortunately, they were doing some heavy "forest restoration" while we were there. So from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm there were various loud noises which ruined the peace of the campground. I'm not sure when this restoration will be completed, but I would check and make sure that it is not going on during your stay if quiet is important to you. (Check out Redwoods Rising to learn more about this important project to restore areas damaged by historical logging.) Another issue to be aware of is that even though there are some trails within the park; they are not maintained. We hiked the Alder Basin trail, and had to avoid a broken board on a bridge, hike over some downed limbs, and accidentally took a "short-cut" trail down the hillside, which we didn't realize until we arrived at the bottom and saw the "actual" trail. Although we didn't need it this trip, we were happy to see that they had an RV dump station. Unhappy to see, though, that they were short staffed and didn't have staff to work the kiosk at the entry. So sad. Despite the noise during our stay, the rough trails, and the lack of staffing at the kiosk, this is the most beautiful campground. I cannot give it less than 5 stars.

We've been to a few state parks that have redwoods, and yes, they're all awesome. Seeing those gigantic trees with all the lush ferns sometimes right on the ocean. The thing that struck me about this state park is it feels so remote,. It's tucked back onto the east side of Highway 101 and you have to drive down about 3 miles to the valley floor. There is absolutely no cell service when you get there. The campsites are spacious and again everything is amazingly lush with ferns, redwood trees, western Hemlock, and the like. They have some nice hiking trails and you can ride around on your bike if you like. Most of the trails don't allow dogs on them, and some of the trails are fairly steep and really not that well-maintained. They do have running water bathrooms with showers that take quarters.
