Nickel Creek Campground

Nickel Creek Campground is a primitive, tent-only backcountry site with 5 first-come, first-served sites located near the mouth of Nickel Creek in Redwood National Park, requiring a free permit from the visitor center and featuring vault toilets but no potable water.

The campground is currently closed due to landslides and unsafe conditions; when operational, it offers access to coastal hiking via the Coastal Trail, tide pooling at nearby Enderts Beach, and fishing opportunities, though visitors must pack in water and all supplies.

Note: A steep ½-mile approach hike is required to reach the campground from the trailhead.
