If you are looking for lush vegetation and exceptional coastal views, Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is hard to beat. The park protects perfect sandy beaches, wide open meadows and fern-lined canyon walls, along with magnificent stands of old-growth redwoods. You can set up base at one of two campgrounds (suitable for RVs and trailers) or rent one of the park cabins and explore the park along three scenic drives or 75 miles of hiking trails. In addition, the park offers an accessible trail (Redwood Access Trail), a self-guided nature trail and the chance to observe herds of Roosevelt Elk who graze the prairie meadows.
