Our dedicated employees and volunteers hope your visit is enjoyable and refreshing. Our goal is to protect and
interpret the coast redwoods and other natural resources of Hendy Woods while providing a safe, relaxing, and high
quality camping and hiking experience. We invite you to offer your comments or suggestions to any of the staff as we
look to continually improve the operation of this State Park.

Campground Hosts Dogs: Dogs must be kept on a leash

Our volunteer campground hosts
provide a priceless service to park
visitors and staff. Hosts are available
to provide information, sell firewood,
make pay-shower change, and
initiate emergency response. Hosts
may also remind visitors of park rules
and regulations. When not available
in their campsites, the hosts may
often be found around the park
greeting the public or working on
projects. Please take time to thank
them for their service.
Camping: The Hendy Woods
campground is open all year.
Reservations are recommended mid-
May through mid-September. Up to
8 people may occupy a campsite.
Cabin sites accommodate up to 6
people (4 in the cabin, and 2 at the small tent pad in
each cabin site). Check-out time is noon.
Hiking: Hiking trails crisscross the entire park.
Hikers can spend much of the day on the trail, yet
never stray too far from the park roads. Most trails
are level or have an easy grade. Comprising more
than 100 acres, the Big and Little Hendy Groves
offer pleasant walks through an old-growth redwood
forest. The All Access Trail in the Big Hendy Grove
is wheelchair accessible. A short climb out of the
campground, the Hermit Hut Trail leads to the
redwood stump once called “home” by the Hendy
Hermit.
no longer than six feet and under

Firewood: Wood for campfires is
available for sale at the ranger station
and from the campground hosts. Funds
collected from wood sales go directly
toward naturalist programs at Hendy
Woods and throughout the Mendocino area state
parks. Wood gathering is prohibited in all California
state parks.
