The campground is beautiful but the camp host was a complete nightmare…read more I don't recommend doing the first come first serve camping even though the website directs you to, because the host doesn't update the reservation signs on time and then will kick you out due to it. We had looked up the campground on line ahead of time and thoroughly read through their first come first serve policy. We were nervous about getting a spot so we were there at 10 am. The directions are: Step 1.Check the reservation signs Step 2. Find a site that doesn't have reservations for that day. Step 3. Pay for the site in cash, fill out the envelope, hang the pass in your vehicle. We did everything exactly how it said. I even called a friend who had been camping there for decades to double check the instructions. The camp host sign said "camp host is off duty" so there was no one on sight to check in with. We stayed at our site until 12:30 setting up and playing cards. Then we left to the river to swim. When we came back at 5 with two wet, hungry kids to cook dinner, someone else was in our campsite. They were very nice and I realized they must have double booked our site. That was a bummer but not that big of a deal. I could have just gone to a different site. The other guest wasn't mad, I wasn't mad, it was a simple mistake. The issue was that I had dropped my 12 year old daughter off at the bathroom that was only a few sites down but the road was a one direction road so I had driven the loop around and she showed up at the site before me and was sent away so I had to go find her before I could more my stuff. She had panicked when the host tried to lecture her and she ran off to find me. There was no phone reception so I had to go find her. Once I had my daughter I came back and we started packing up. The female host came and was very aggressive towards us. I explained that we followed all the steps and the reservation sign clearly was for yesterday and not today. The male host asked her if she had updated the reservation sign. She said "yes I did it at 10am." But we had got there at 10:30 and it wasn't updated. We were there until 12:30 and it still wasn't updated. It was clearly her fault but she was yelling at us. I raised my voice and told her to stop speaking to us with so much disrespect. I said we were leaving and there was no need for her to yell at us. Then my daughter and I went back to packing. The host had moved all of our stuff and put our clothes in the dirt. The guests who had also books the site kept apologizing to us. They were very sweet and I told them it was ok and not their fault. When we were done packing up the ranger came. I explained the situation and he asked if he could find us another site. He said there were plenty. I thanked him but my kids had already been traumatized and I had to get them home. The ranger had the right response, this wasn't an emergency or a crime like the Host was making it out to be, it was a simple misunderstanding. Oh and there was no way for them to reimburse me because my payment was in a lock box and it was after 5 on a Friday. So my conclusion and advice to campers is 1. I hope they don't keep that host and 2. If you are camping do not do the first come first served option even though the website tells you to. We were lucky to only live 2 hours from home but if you traveled further and then was treated like this it could be a real emergency and leave you scrambling to find a place to stay.

There are very limited options for any kind of lodging in the area, there's a small Casino with a hotel 10 minutes away and it's pricey. Closest grocery store is Crescent City to the north, so get supplies there. The campground has a store with some campground essentials but it's not a grocery store. Campground has coin laundry too, and the campground store has tide pods for .75 cents. Would recommend if in the area for hiking the Redwoods or fishing!

Grassy Flat Campground was an ideal roadside stop for me to spend the night before venturing along…read moremy Redwood National and State Parks journey. I highly recommend this campground perfect for those adventurers needing a place to rest their heads on a whim at the spur of the moment. That's how I discovered Grassy Flat Campground. I was driving along my cross country summer road trip and needed a place to crash for the evening. As usual and during so many times along my travels, I opened up the app on my phone called CAMPENDIUM! I also recommend to all those campers and tourists out there who appreciate sleeping among the great outdoors, definitely download Campendium. It's free to use and as long as you have cell phone reception...it'll always list the available campsites within any area in the United States. Campendium was my saving grace from my road trip!! Grassy Flat Campground was so convenient. When I arrived here over the summer, it was basically first come, first served. You don't need reservations. It was about 4pm in the afternoon when I found one of the last remaining campsites still unoccupied. Wow...I was grateful for this because along this area of Highway 199 and around the Redwood Forest section...I found accommodations to be few and far between. Lol, basically, I was grateful I wasn't crashing in my car for the night. And for me...I had just visited Crater Lake and was making my way south from Oregon. Grassy Flat was situated just outside the Hiouchi Visitor Center (about 14 miles away) great for starting my Redwood Parks itinerary. In terms of location, Grassy Flat Campground was ideal! Being just off the road of Highway 199 and not far away from the major town of Crescent City...it felt comforting knowing I was nearby a place to get gas, food and supplies continuing along my trip. Now to describe Grassy Flat Campground...it was scenic...right in the heart of the forest and woods! I felt like I was breathing in nothing but fresh air enjoying nature at it's finest! When pulling into my campsite...it had a fire-pit for barbecuing and a picnic table set beside random trees. I sincerely appreciated relaxing and taking in the authentic camping surroundings. It's simple $10 fee to camp for the night. You have to pay immediately upon choosing a campsite. You can pay by check if you don't have the exact amount of $10. Then just drop it into the safe/drop box. There wasn't a Camp Host on the grounds, but I guess they go by the honor system. They do offer portable toilets. Although the porter potties weren't the cleanest...they were certainly sufficient enough to make it through the night, lol. My one and only deterrent about this Grassy Flat Campground (and it's a small one) was that I didn't have cell phone reception...to sort of play on my phone and entertain myself. But it was still perfectly fine not using my phone as I easily sat back in my lounge chair and enjoyed being in the woods. Ya know, it's times like these when you go back to the basics, that I truly appreciated the simple things in life. So...not having cell phone reception was a blessing in disguise...a chance for me to reset my engine and put into perspective that I was about to witness some of the tallest trees in the world! Overall, I can't recommend Grassy Flat Campground enough. It's a perfect spot to rest for the night, especially for those getting ready to start their Redwood Forest journeys (assuming they're coming from the north and headed south, lol).

I called the office and was told I can choose the next four to five spots that they were open, but I'm lying. They appeared to be taken. From the pictures online it looks like the beach and ocean are close, they are not!!! There are several bushes that block your view, and if you wanted to walk to the ocean you would have a very long walk. Spaces on the concrete and spaces on the electrical boxes do not match up.

The facilities are dated, HOWEVER, you can tell they take great pride and include little thoughtful details like clips on the shower curtains for added privacy, bath mats for outside the stalls and water taps at each tent site.
