Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park offers a unique opportunity to camp among some of the most iconic landscapes in California. Situated just under a mile from the community of Mount Hermon, this state park is defined by its breathtaking groves of towering old-growth redwoods, providing a serene and majestic backdrop for your outdoor getaway. The terrain is characterized by lush, forested surroundings that feel worlds away from the nearby city, making it a premier destination for those looking to immerse themselves in nature.

This campground is an excellent choice for those seeking a straightforward, beginner-friendly outdoor experience. It is well-suited for tent campers and those interested in car camping who want to enjoy the tranquility of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Because the sites are rustic and do not offer utility hookups, it is best suited for visitors who prefer a traditional, back-to-basics camping style.

Open year-round, the park serves as a peaceful retreat in every season. Whether you are planning a family trip or a quiet weekend escape, the park provides a classic California camping experience centered on the beauty of the redwood forest.
