Sue-meg State Park

My favorite state park on the coast! The ceremony rock was so unexpectedly magical. I’ve stayed at both abalone and agate campground. I preferred abalone. Agate beach was phenomenal. I love all the outcroppings & over looks. Super walkable. The raccoons are WAYYY to friendly and not at all scared of ppl. We had several in the trees around us each night & we’re very tenacious trying to sneak into camp.

This is one of the parks you have to pay to get into...$8.00...and it is worth every penny. We trekked down the hill to Agate Beach, where, if you choose, you can take up to 15 pounds of Agates with you...we did not. Even though we were there when the tide was fairly high we still got to enjoy some tidepools with starfish and anemones. There are many trails available and beautiful viewpoints throughout the park. We really enjoyed our visit.

Always great to be on the North Coast. This used to be called Patrick's point but was renamed for the native Americans there which is increasingly common in our modern world. Still a great place to visit The hike down to Beach is long and steep but if you want to get down to agate Beach it's better to go down to the county park at the end of the point, and agate Beach is fun for the kids. They say that part of the original Jurassic Park was filmed in Patrick's point and it's a great place with lots of fun places to take the kid including the hike out to wedding/ceremony Rock.

Beautiful sights of the powerful waves crashing into the cliffs. I recommend checking out the Sue-Meg village project and reading up on the rich history and contemporary struggles of the Yurok community before visiting.

We camped here. The sites are roomy with picnic tables and fire rings. We hiked the Rim trail the next morning. There are multiple lookout with awesome views.

So beautiful and peaceful. The staff were friendly and informative. The showers and bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. My new favorite place!

Must visit! I absolutely love this park, and love to visit the campground in order to access agate beach. Rock hounding is my happy place 🥳

Beautiful Park. We did not have enough time to spend there. We were only there a few hours but it was so beautiful. A short walk down a nature trail to the beach.

Su-Meg (formerly Patrick's Point) State Park, CA - September 24, 2024 I can't believe I've never reviewed this place before. We've camped and visited here many times over the years and it's among my favorite California state parks. It's a very large park with hundreds of campsites for RVs and tents, and lots of amenities. Camp sites have picnic tables and fire rings. They have bathrooms with running water as well as hot showers. They also have cabins with basic features: two bunk beds - no mattresses (bring your own bedding and pillows), electricity, a portable heater, and ceiling fan. There is a fair amount of floor space to store your gear. The cabin sites have a fire pit, barbecue, and picnic table. You're allowed to have 8 people at the site and 1 tent is allowed outside the cabin. The cabin is ADA accessible. Bathrooms are just across the parking lot. At the north end of the park, there is a quarter mile trail that leads down to the beach. If you look hard, you can find agates, which are small stones that are translucent (i.e., you can see through them). The beach goes on north for miles. It's not recommended for swimming because the shoreline is kind of steep and there are sleeper waves with a pretty strong riptide. The park is lush and green with oaks, redwoods, ferns, climbing vines, and bushes. There is a Rim Trail that goes from one end of the park to the other along the coast line. Along the trail, there are spur trails that take you to places like Palmer's Beach, Rocky Point, Muscle Rock, Wedding Rock, Lookout Rock, and Patrick's Point. The is another trail leading away from the Rim Trail that takes you to Ceremonial Rock. I've seen quite a few fish caught down at water's level just south of wedding rock - halibut and rock cod. I hear herring and squid make for good bait. Fishing there is not for the faint of heart. It's a treacherous climb down to the ocean and if the ocean is rough, the waves will come up over the rocks and sweep you away. It's best to fish there on a calm day with no waves.

Great spot for some ocean views! We had spent the previous 2 days completely immersed in redwoods (which was awesome!) so this place was terrific for a change of scenery (literally). Our only mistake was that we only budgeted a couple of hours here before we had to catch a plane and didn't get to explore more of the park. We did parts of the rim trail and hiked to various scenic viewpoints. The ones we did were mostly reverse elevation (down then back up) but not super difficult. It wasn't crowded at all on a holiday with plenty of parking spots. Clean bathrooms available at the visitor center and other spots throughout the park. Parking: $8 (or state parks pass) - the park itself isn't very big, so you could hypothetically park close to the entrance and walk in. They don't take the NPS (America the Beautiful) pass since they are strictly a state park.

The scenery and trails are beautiful, I wish the shower facilities could be modernized. The Agate area showers were lukewarm (bring quarters). As a CA resident, I wish we could do better here. We recently camped in Oregon and restrooms/showers were so much nicer. Other than this, Sue-Meg still ranks pretty high on our list for beauty/scenery.

Arrived here late in January without a reservation. The kiosk was closed but several campsites had an available sign posted. I tried to pay online, but was unable to select the current day. Decided I'd visit the kiosk in the morning and settle up. What could go wrong? Awoke in the morning to a park ranger banging on the side of my sprinter van yelling "Police! Open up!" The ranger was a complete prick. Young guy with zero discernment. I was kind and explained our situation. He decided to eject us from the park and collect payment. We planned to hike down to the beach that morning. I think his name was ranger Everett or Everest. Can't remember, but what a joke of an officer.

NOW RECLAIMED SUE-MEG! GO NATIVE NATION! Revisit this beautiful land if you haven't since it's been reclaimed!

In COVID times, many of us have had to redefine time-tested traditions and the manner in which we celebrate holidays. For 2020, our usual 30+ person Thanksgiving gathering in my childhood Pasadena home was changed to a Thanksgiving camping trip at Patrick's Point State Park, a solid 700 miles north of our usual Turkey day location. The greater Redwoods National Park area in NorCal has always been one of my favorite places, however, and with our immediate family of five having made reservations to camp and plans to cook a complete Thanksgiving meal under the trees, we loaded the truck, hitched the pop-up camper, and headed north, Miss Tessmacher. This stare park just north of Trinidad, CA is one of the more beautiful spots on earth: a vast canopy of trees allows dappled light to the ground supporting all sorts of ferns, shrubs, flowering plants, and dozens of mushroom species to flourish. Amidst the cool undergrowth, all sorts of critters live happily: frogs, salamanders, garter snakes, raccoons, rabbits, foxes, and of course, black bears. The park is large enough to enjoy several days of different trail hikes that range from dense forest walks to rugged overlooks of the rocky coastline. Wedding Rock and Agate Beach should not be missed, here... and some of the hikes involve some pretty big steps on uneven muddy ground (although they are shorter hikes) so check with the ranger on conditions and difficulty before you head out. We also were here during a "High Surf Advisory" -- which means we got to see 25 foot waves crashing against the rocks and on Agate Beach.... beautiful, but lethal if you're not careful or act stupid. Respect nature, or she will eat you alive. Nota bene: this whole area is a temperate rain forest, which means you should expect cool, wet conditions pretty much any time of year. In November, days were cool and clear, and nights were cold. In six days of camping we had three nights of rain... hard camping if you're a tent family or used to some kind of glamping adventure. Still, the natural beauty of this place cannot be denied, relatively untouched by human intervention. This is also a great central location to visit Jedediah Smith, Humboldt, Avenue of the Giants, Fern Canyon, or any number of beautiful places up here. Make reservations early-- California state parks fill up months in advance. Sure it's off the beaten path, and it's not the kind of place you blast a radio, throw horseshoes, and drink beer in the sun. But this is an outstanding and gorgeous place to find the kind of peace and quiet everyone could use to refresh their souls these days.

Absolutely gorgeous. Nice flat trails and you can feel the spirits in the native village.

Pay 8 bucks to experience this Coastal Sitka Spruce Forest on the northern end of Trinidad. All trails lead to the beach. Leave your dog home! This place is dog free.

Call this Point Lobos North because the rocky shoreline bears a definite geological resemblance. Both have that photogenic combination of crashing waves and striking cragginess that you can't help but take aim to produce your highly replicated Instagram moments. There's an $8 entrance fee, but unlike my nearby drive-through tree experiences, the fee was justified. Parking was rather easy for a Saturday considering there weren't that many spaces available. I was right in front of the Mussel Rocks Trail (photo: http://bit.ly/2rj4WaY). The location allowed me to pass by some dramatic foliage on the mist-laden way to the rocks (photo). From there, I followed the winding Rim Trail to the monumental Wedding Rock which others dared to scale to the top. Not me though as I didn't want to become a local news item that evening. Then I went to the neighboring Patrick's Point Overlook for a clearer view of the Wedding Rock (photo: http://bit.ly/2OWrZ4p) and the rest of the Lost Coast. If you venture to these parts, you should consider stopping at this arresting state park. RELATED - Lost on the Lost Coast? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2A1YVjy

Beautiful short hike to Wedding Rock & viewing from Patrick's Point. There is so much more to explore! Another place to check out that we didn't get to was Agate Beach. We just ran out of daylight. Until next time....

Awesome state park. The Rangers are all very nice and very helpful. Excellent place to look for agates

Absolutely phenomenal scenery. I stayed at the agate campground on a summer road trip, with a dog. I couldn't believe how amazing the ecosystem is in this area; a true gem of a place to see so many living organisms. The campground itself is clean, the weather is super cool and misty, and there's no shortage af places to walk. I feel kind of at odds for promoting these amazing state parks, but we in California pay for these lands by using them and it's something that everyone should enjoy. If you want a true grasp of what there is to see, just look at the pictures. Even though they don't compare to actually being there, a single picture says more words than I could here.

Wonderful campsite . Bathrooms and warm showers are so clean . The campgrounds is right near all the trails to hike to the ocean . The Abalone campground got more than rowdy and went on past midnight . I was surprised the camp host did not shut the party down . I camp often and that is not the first nor will it be the last . I am just bit a fan of being up all night for someone else's pleasure

Camped here for 5 nights. The campsites are a dream; most are quite roomy and very private. The Park has some amazing trails, all are easy hikes, with the exception of those leading down to the ocean, which can be a bit steep. Three trails not to be missed: (1) The Rim Trail, which is an easy 2-mile hike that offers stunning ocean views. Make sure you check out the Wedding Rock. The path has stone steps that take you to a spectacular ocean lookout. Time it for the sunset on a clear day--glorious. (2) The Ceremonial Rock trail. A path leads you 107 feet up via stone steps to the top. (3). The Agate Beach Trail, which is a 1/4 mile descent down to a beautiful beach. The trail is well maintained and makes for an easy hike down. A little steep at the very end; but quite worth the effort. Note: Dogs are not allowed on trails or beaches.

Another beautiful coastal state park California has to offer. Tucked away in the small town of Trinidad is this gorgeous state park to visit if your close by. There isn't much to do in Trinidad except see a lighthouse, go to the museum and explore Patrick's point state park. There are short flat loops for the novice hiker to enjoy. There are plenty of trails and walking paths that are wheelchair and stroller friendly for the travelers with wheels instead of feet. If you can, go check out Wedding rock. Those stone steps are a must to see. It's a short treck with some steps and pretty remarkable. Take note of the ground squirrels on your way up. They're pretty darn cute ! I took a drive through the campground and the sites look very nice and private. They are tucked back and lots of shrubbery surrounds you giving you ultimate privacy from your neighbors. I'm assuming it is dry camping there. The campground was hoping too. Dont forget to stop at Agate beach. It's a very long stretch. Maybe a couple of miles? But I'm not sure. Check out my pic! As usual, no dogs are allowed on state park trails and the have to stick to the pavement. They are welcome in the campground. That applies to all California state parks.

If you don't want RVs in your campground, don't accept them. As a day use or a primitive tent campground Patrick's Point comes close to a five. The park has great little hikes around the coast, a historic Native American site, and wooded well-distanced campsites. However, if you plan on using a primitive site with your RV, look elsewhere. They have a 10am to 8pm generator limit. This means that if you want coffee with your breakfast you better break out the French press. The bacon we fried set off our smoke detector (twice) because we couldn't use the exhaust fan. The worse deficiency is the lack of a functioning dump station. It has been out of commission for at least a year and they seem to have no interest in repairing it. You would think with over 100 sites, they would have to have a functioning dump station.

Stopped in to visit and learn about the area during a week long vacation to the Redwoods. Patrick's Point State Park require an admission fee of $8.00. They gave me a slip of paper to affix to the inside of my windshield. Apparently, the fee covers entrance into other State Parks, but none of the others I visited had an admission fee. First I visited the Visitors Center, just past the entry point and to the right. It's a nice little Visitors Center with a number of interesting interpretive exhibits, as well as a gift shop. Afterwards, I visited the overview of Agate Beach, and a couple of other spots - got some nice photos and video. I've never seen so many berry bushes in my life. They were everywhere in the park. I think they were Raspberry bushes - but I'm not sure. Nice State Park! #PatricksPointStatePark

Camp here if you can. If you can't camp Atleast buy the day pass and go down to Agate beach. Worth the walk. Find some banana slugs, maybe a salamander or seals. The bathrooms were out of order in our area, but there were plenty of others to pick from.

Amazing site! So lucky to live in Northern California. Definetly a must when in the area.

This is a beautiful park with cliffs and trails onto the cliffs. There is access to the beach, and lots of places to see into the ocean. Some areas are an audible experience, as you can hear not only seagulls but also sea lions families. You will spend time here if you enter.

I've been coming here since 1994, and this state park has just gone down hill. The camp sights are not taken care of. The bear boxes are not cleaned properly and are covered in mildew. The camp fire pits need to be replaced and the built up ashes need to be dumped and taken care of. The day area picnic sights are a shame. They are over grown and the picnic tables are covered in moss, they cannot even be used. The trail down to agate beach is so deteriorated it's dangerous. One good thing is now that covid is here they clean the bathrooms twice a day but there isn't even soap In all the bathrooms and there's nothing to dry your hands on. Not even all showers work. I expect more out of a state park in a state that thinks so highly of it's self.

Patrick's Point State Park was an unexpected bonus on my trip up north. After a day spent in Redwood National Park, I stopped by on way back to Arcata. They accept the California State Parks pass for day use and the ranger at the kiosk was helpful in pointing me to my destination of Agate Beach. Because my boyfriend and I had spent all day hiking in the redwoods we didn't have a chance to fully explore this park. We drove to the end of the park and spent some time at the lookout above Agate Beach and then headed down the trail to explore some more. The trail itself starts off on a gentle decline with some stairs towards the bottom that are a bit steeper and some wooden posts at the very bottom that are a bit precarious. It's nothing a regular hiker can't do-and the way back up wasn't as bad as I thought. At the bottom you get an up close view of the cliffs, driftwood, crashing waves and little stones that make up the beach. It was the perfect peaceful end to the afternoon and fun to collect some stones. Quick note, they've had recent mountain lion sightings in the park so you may want to avoid hiking at dusk and go in pairs.

So fun! With 3 little kids we made our way to Agate Beach and searched for agate - fun and great sand / ocean experience even if you find nothing! Also went to the Yurok village site and squeezed into a couple sweat houses! Uncomfortable for adults but kids had a blast! Not enough time for tidepooling but plan for that next visit as we heard it's one of a kind! But need to wait for "negative" to catch sight of the most amazing specimens. On our way out I also read this place was inspiration for Sponge Bob creatures / setting so definitely on the must experience list for the future!

Patrick's Point State Park is an old favorite. It's been a few years, but my wife and I had always enjoyed the interpretive Nature Trail featuring massive Sitka Spruce with their giant roots, christened on the trail as the Octopus Trees. The trail went into the background of these trees and how these type of roots form. With our grown sons along, we wanted to re-hike this trail so they could see these unique trees for themselves. Strangely, we could not find the Nature Trail on the park map. The ranger advised us that there were many "nature trails" and advised us to start with the trails near the ocean, especially the Wedding Rock Trail. This wasn't the Nature Trail we were looking for, but wedding rock and the nearby ocean views are spectacular. We had good views of nearby whales and their spouts! We returned to the visitor center, which was now closed, as I seemed to remember the trail was not far away from there. Perhaps they had renamed the trail as the Native Plant Garden Trail? So we tried that, and again it has a nice loop through identified native plants and is a worthwhile short trail. But no Octopus Trees. By this time it was after 5 and the park had cleared out. However, an older woman was parked there that was a Park volunteer. She did know about the Nature Trail, but it was not good news: they had closed the trail a number of years earlier, ostensibly to protect the trees from the heavy use. So somewhere in the park are these beautiful Sitka Spruce octopus-like trees, but alas there is no easy way to find them. To see what we are missing, I have included a picture of a Sitka Spruce with octopus-like roots that was taken along the now Lost Nature Trail. Hopefully at some point in the future this trail will be recommissioned in a sustainable way.

PATRICK'S POINT All the parks are closed to vehicles and camping due to the pandemic. Foot...bike;) traffic was not discouraged as I notice two cars out front. I had never been to this park before because I don't like crowds. A couple was walking out as I rode in. It's a beautiful, peaceful park with lots of things to see, plenty of trails and the most beautiful restroom I had seen in days. My head was in the trees until midway when I noticed a no bike sign and then another. I slowed my speed...tread lightly, moved towards the ocean views. They are as spectacular as everything I have been told. The trails are tight, beautifully maintained and I could imagine pretty busy when open. Small bridges, heavy foliage, light rain and a cool breeze made the day. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity so I respectfully continued my exploration with the respect this park deserves . It was a short in and out but one I won't soon forget...kinda like the park made a little room for me. Thank you.

We didn't camp here, but drove from our hotel in Eureka. For the coastal part of a visit to the Redwoods, this park should be at the top of the list. We did a lot of driving around and sightseeing from the car, but the two places we stopped were Agate Beach and Patrick's Point. Agate Beach is a steep trek, and gets a little tricky near the bottom (when you've nearly reached the beach), but if you're a rockhoind to any degree, it's worth it. There's a beautiful cliff face, and the beach is littered with gorgeous stones and agates. Also, if you notice the stream running across the beach into the ocean, look out for the secret little off-path opening to the waterfall on your way back up! Patrick's Point was more of a scenic spot, but from there you can very clearly hear the seals and sea lions barking. It's another downhill trek that will test your endurance, but there's a neat pony you can (carefully) get to near the bottom. Definitely not for the out of shape, but Patrick's Point has some well worth it beauty to be seen.

One of the most beautiful campgrounds ever! We booked site #75 in Abalone. Beautiful surrounding, large campsite in the majestic trees. The hike is great however no dogs. Very quiet and nice campground host. You can take dogs to Big Lagoon just north of Patrick's however beware of the undercurrent in the ocean there.

We had a ton of fun hiking along the Patrick's Rim Trail. There is a great view of Agate Beach from the trailhead. There are also a ton of wonderful offshoot mini trails that lead closer to the cliff's edge such as Mussel Rocks, Wedding Rock (awesome photos), and Patrick's Point. Since it's also in a campground there is plenty of parking and restrooms.

I'm righting about the Rim Trail that goes along the ocean side with in the park. We lived in Humboldt county for many many years (50+) and have walked the Rim trail probably 100 times over the years. We moved away 5 years ago. We were recently at the park and walked the trail .I must say that the trail that is new is ok, BUT the trail is in desperate desperate need of some brush wracking , there are some bad spots that have been there for years. So Wear long sleeve and pants. Sting needles.

Rim Trail is amazing. We hiked early in the morning and had a lot of fog which burned off later, revealing stunning views. We parked at Palmers Point and hiked on Rim Trail to Agate Beach--that's the full extent of Rim Trail. It's a small park so that's about as far as you can go. It's two miles out. But you take a lot of spurs to see pretty views. Though the park is small, you can't tell. The views are stunning--big craggy rocks, crashing waves, slugs, flowers (on Sept. 27 at least), sea lions, deer, and birds. Wedding Rock is a highlight but every overlook spur had something special. Loved seeing kelp in the water below. One or two spots on the trail are washed out but you can still navigate over. Mostly even and easy going. We retuned to our car via camp roads. Both of our FitBits hit 10,000 by the time we got back to the car. And we felt like it was a solid hike. Ranger at the entrance was friendly and gave great hiking advice.

Favorite campsite so far. It was very quiet and had plenty to do. We hiked, walked the beaches and relaxed. They had no hookups and was pretty primitive which we liked. You can't swim in the ocean due to the dangerous waves and the beach is full of rocks and driftwood which I personally liked, but don't expect to build sandcastles or leave kids unattended because the waves are deadly.

This is a smaller but very beautiful state park well worth a visit. I stopped by this park, unplanned, en route to the redwoods and spent two hours there. I first stopped by the visitor center and the lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. The visitor center also has a nice little gift shop that contain the typical souvenirs one would expect to find at a state or national park gift shop. Although this region as a whole is famous for its old-growth redwood groves, this park does not contain redwood groves. What's spectacular about this park is the rugged coastline accentuated by the fog and haze. There are a few beaches in this park, including agate beach, where, if you look hard enough, you should be able to find some pieces of agate. There are a few campgrounds in the park for those who want to stay overnight.

New name, same wonderful views. Agate hunting on the beach. Walking the rim trail with rewards of amazing views. Would love to come back and whale watch from wedding rock next year. Bathrooms were a nice bonus--flush toilets and running water! Worth the $8 fee.

We visited Agate Beach at Patrick's Point State Beach and it was gorgeous!! We actually back-tracked on our road trip to visit Agate because I had seen the pictures of the pebbles on Yelp! However, not only did we see the pebbles, but we also found a starfish and a TON of sand dollars (which are not common at all at the beach we normally visit at home in Texas) so we were so excited! The trail to the beach from parking was NO problem going down.. but coming back up was a little more difficult for two out of shape Texans! overall, I definitely recommend this little spot!

Park is open even during the pandemic. Looks like the front kiosk is not open, but there is a sign there that states you must put a payment in an envelope and then place the payment stub on your dash to avoid citation. We took the short trail to the top of wedding rock, and the view was gorgeous. Also, the surrounding tide pools are full of life. Definitely a must visit. Come during sunset. You won't regret it.

Nice, uncrowned campgrounds. Lovely ocean views. Got there just before noon to get one of the four 'first-come' campsites.

Mussel rock more like muscle rock because of all the beefcakes I saw. There are holes in the rocks that if you fall in you are certain to perish. Much like your mother

There comes a time in every outdoor-fan's life when the switch is flipped. Maybe it's because I've gone from young, trim, and vibrant to old, flabby, and crotchety - but more and more the lure of strapping on my backpack and hiking into the wilderness, away from human contact, surrounding myself with nature is being replaced by the need for a roaring fire, warm bed, hot shower, and tasty meals accompanied by a cheeky old vine zin. And so, in order to get my fresh air fix, I'm resorting more and more to car camping, and for that - Patrick's Point can't be beat. Nestled on the coast about 300 miles north of San Francisco, the scenery is epic, and the amenities are plentiful. Hot (coin-powered) showers, flushing toilets, and generous campsites are the order of the day. Unfortunately, since it is a state car-camping site, it's chock full of RV-driving tools and drunken frat boys. Peace and quiet isn't quite as prevalent as you'd like, but come 10:00pm it's nice and quiet, and the only sounds are the crashing of the waves and the scampering of the dirty little raccoons invading your site. Dogs are allowed in the campgrounds on leash, but not on any of the trails or confusingly even on the beach - which meant the mutt had to stay confined a lot more than I'd like, but otherwise a groovy park to take an extended weekend trip to.

This has to be one of the most beautiful places in California let alone the United States. It's a $8 day use fee if you don't have a state parks pass, but their are numerous options to explore. You can take the rim trail, the agate beach trail and short walks to look outs and tide pools. There's also plenty of camping available in various locations of the park.

My girlfriend and I, as well two friends, just came back from Patrick's Point for Memorial Day Weekend and absolutely loved it. Specifically, we camped in Abalone. The staff was very friendly and present, but not over-bearing. Even with the Abalone campsites full, you didn't really feel crowded in camp and we hardly ran into anyone will hiking or in the restroom. The individual campsites all very cool and feel very unique. We booked late and thought we might've gotten one of the worst sites (based upon how few were still available and it's proximity to the restrooms) but we fell in love with it. It was big and the ground soft with moss. There are several trails, with most along the beautiful coast. Unfortunately, the Rim Trail at and to Agate Beach was closed due to erosion (it's noted on the site but we failed to see it) but every other hike we took was great. Mostly easy, with some strenuous areas. The tidepools at Palmer's Point are well worth the "Stairs of Death" trek back up. The Campground Host (failed to catch his name, unfortunately) was a good guy, friendly and helpful. We wish the weather was a bit warmer but still had a great time. I'm sure it'll be amazing in the summer. Looking forward to the sunsets and all the stars. The park was holding some "campfire events" over the weekend (gentlemen telling campfire stories at nightl etc). Not sure if they do so every weekend. Would be fun to bring bikes next time. You make your own time here. There's no movie night, pool or music blasting. This is a place to get away from it all without having to REALLY get away from it all. Summary: We drove 6+ hours to camp here and we already agreed we would come back this summer. I think I've only reviewed one or two other places on Yelp and decided to take the time to do so for Patrick's Point. That's how much I really liked this place. Pro tip: if you're going when its cold, try to bring your own firewood. While I have no problem spending any money that'll go back to the park itself, ~$50 in firewood (for 1 day, 2 nights with a moderate fire) bought at the camp to keep us warm will probably be a bit much for some.

A beautiful state park located on the ocean in northern Humboldt county off the 101. This state maintained park has day use areas with picnic areas and restroom facilities and overnight camping. Camping tends to book quickly in the summer and is difficult at peak times. This is a hosted and gated entrance park, day use fees are $8. Overnight rates last season; 35$ a night. There are several great places within this park to explore with various degrees of difficulty to climb, the rim trail is moderate and provides some amazing views of the ocean and the north coast rocky shores. The Yurok have lived in this area for centuries and this incredible place is a part of the reason why, access to the ocean, protected surroundings and stunning views. This state park north of Trinidad a few miles, take the Patrick's Point Dr. exit and follow the signs to the entrance station. Agate beach is accessed through this park on its north end, The climb down is a maintained trail, except for the last 50 feet - at times it can be near impossible during the rainy season to reach the beach. This beach is an amazing place to look for, as the name implies - Agates, locals come to this spot regularly looking for these elusive stones. A great north coast beach park. Well worth the effort, and for those who travel during the off season - this is a great place to explore where you can literally have the whole park to yourself on a wintery tuesday in the off season... A solid 4 Stars. 00153

The campground is beautiful and many of the campsites are roomy and private. We had one of the ADA campsites--we have a child who uses a walker. One of the features is a paved path from the parking space to the picnics table area. The pavement was old and worn, and even worse, when the foliage was trimmed back it did not follow the pavement: on one side the pavement was overgrown and on the other side the bushes were cut way back from where the pavement ended. The result was that it was almost impossible to use a wheeled mobility device because the useable pavement was too narrow even for a child's walker or stroller. The dirt was honestly easier. At the nearby accessible restroom block, the entrance to the women's restroom was around the back and it was not immediately clear how to get there. I had to guess and follow a sidewalk around. The next nearest non-ADA bathroom had the entrance to the ladies' facility on the side, clearly visible from the front of the building. The accessible shower stall was good. The accessible toilet stall was a bit small for both a person with a mobility device and someone to assist with toileting. The accessible trail was clearly marked and plenty wide and navigable for a stroller. Trail forks that were not accessible for wheels were also clearly marked as such. Overall, it wasn't bad, but there's room for improvement in the accessibility department.

We came here after being recommended by the host of a cottage we were staying at in Trinidad. We took the short hike up to wedding rock and then did the Rim trail. Both were excellent views of the ocean, cliffs, and rocks. We took a short walk down to the water and tide pools and spotted starfish, sea urchins, and others I could not identify :p I was so happy to see so many starfish as they seem to be disappearing from the Half Moon Bay coast close to my home. There are also seals and sea lions who live off the rocks and many birds. I was happy to see many resources available to learn about the tribes who had lived in the area for thousands of years. Many even helped build the park to offer more historic landmarks to educate visitors on the history. They picked berries, harvested mushrooms and herbs, hunted, and fished. They also build canoes and huts out redwood. We got to park for free because we were camping at Humboldt State Park (Hidden Springs) but I think parking is normally $10? Would be beautiful on a clear day but the fog cooled us off after those steep hikes, which was nice.

We booked a campsite here after reading all the great reviews on Yelp. I was a little disappointed! The views are beautiful, and a short easy hike to reach at that. But that was the only part of this campground that I liked. Our campsite was horrible. It was blocked by logs, so we had to park away from the actual campsite. It was also TINY. Nothing like the camping I've done in other parks. It might have just been our campsite, however. Most of the other ones seemed larger and cars were able to park at their sites. One thing I don't like is you can't see an image of the sites beforehand, or see how their privacy rating is. This might just be an option in Washington State campgrounds, but still nice to have. The bathroom was good - cleaner than most campsites. I would recommend coming here to do the short hike and see all the views, but I don't think I would stay here again. It was also a little pricey for what you get.

It's a lovely state park with some very unique features. Beautiful hikes overlooking the ocean. Areas to camp. And they even have a Yurok village complete with actual houses. Kids really loved exploring these until I realized that they were in actual use by the Yurok tribe for their ceremonies and I told them to stop. I had no clue about the Yurok tribe before I visited this park. The houses are fascinating. They are partially dug into the ground, but have wooden walls and roofs with a hobbit sized round door. Really cool.

Big fan. This place is great if you're looking for coastal camping. Most campsites have access to the ocean, the trails are usually less than 10 minutes to the ocean. It gets booked quickly so i recommend reservations in advance. Since its close to the ocean the park itself has a lot of fog in the morning which makes it a wet type of camping experience.

The park has beautiful views and great hiking trails, as well as a Yurok village site and nice visitor center. The downside is the campground that is falling apart. The showers cost .25 cents a minute and the water is tepid, at best. Parts of the showers were missing, and lots of mold on the shower walls. Great for hiking, bad for camping.

My dad and his friends have been camping here for the past couple of years during the summer. This year however was my first time! After driving 7ish hours from the valley while listening to a great audio book (The Boys on the Boat) we finally arrived on a Monday afternoon. We pulled up and were so kindly greeted by Julian who was very informative and friendly! After driving for so long it's so nice to be greeted with a welcoming smile. The campsite itself is surrounded by trees and is so peaceful! The trails all around are so nice and easy to get to as well. I love the views of the ocean from the trails, especially on a clear day. As my dad says 'this place is heaven on Earth'! Look out for skunks at night time!

The highlight of our trip to the North coast!! Patrick's Point was on point!! Loved the beautiful breathtaking views of this park. We hiked the entire 6 mile stretch and then some from climbing thru the rocks throughout the shoreline. So beautiful and romantic! It was the perfect get away to celebrate our anniversary and valentines weekend!!
