Booked 3 nights at Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park starting 9/25. Arrived after a five hour drive from San Francisco to learn that the campground had closed for the season a few weeks before. So, not getting high marks.

The camp ground is politely in utter decay. There is NO running water. All the BBQ pits are falling over. The campsites are less than 50 yards from the highway. The trees and weeds are unmanaged, and the site looks abandoned.

We stayed July 14th till the 17th, 2022. Hostess was very understanding and polite her name was Joanne. The reason I am giving it a 2 star is there was absolutely no running water and no dumpster to throw away trash. There are vaulted toilets, and they were pretty clean.

My partner and myself spent two nights on memorial weekend of 22' in which the weather was poor, but of course the area is beautiful and we were hopeful. for the 60$ that is charged for two nights, what you recieve is quite laughable. No Toilet paper was in the bathroom until Sunday, nor is there any garbage service provided I could not even check in properly after having my spot with an incorrect tag upon arrival the pinecone of a rude camp host showed up late Saturday out of nowhere in demands of my receipt to prove I'm in the right spot when there's literally one other camper and its raining. All in all this area is beautiful and recommend to anybody to spend time at bucks lake. But this place is a rip off.
