Jedidiah Smith State Park campsite |
We stayed at Jedidiah Smith State Park in the redwoods. This was one of our favorite campsites on
our trip. We did not have hookups and in the winter they only have one or two loops open. This was the standard $35 a night rate for state parks in California. We were blessed with a river view of the Smith River. Our campsite was very shady so the solar panels couldn't get much charge, but we squeezed out enough power for two nights. We could walk out of the shade and into the sunlight by the river. The girls found a nice sandy spot to play.
We enjoyed taking bike rides as a family. Ella is finally starting to become a more confidant bike rider. We took a narrow windy drive to look at redwood trees. We got out to hike and found the famous Del Norte Titan. Erin and I had a nice walk together our last morning. This campground felt really safe and they have recently remodeled the bathrooms with nice hot showers for 50 cents for 7 minutes. Jedidiah Smith State Park also has a nice visitor center with a gift shop and a wildlife animal display of native animals. Sad to say it is time to drive home now.
I remember years ago location the "famous" Del Norte Titan. Lately its been amazing finding the not-so-famous titans elsewhere that overshadow its size.
