One of the nicest places to camp on the Northern California coast.
The campground was very clean and well maintained, my wife and daughter had a great time and the people there were very friendly and accommodating.
Ranger Carson was one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet, he and his wife live on site with 2 precious children.
There was most of a bluegrass band camped near us and he let them move to a big open area where they could play acoustically late in to the night without keeping people awake. We were happy to have them next to us, but most people don't sleep upstairs from a recording studio that works in to the early morning hours.
Around 10:30pm Ranger Carson came out and asked them very nicely to tone it down a little, he was very reasonable, and only to accommodate the potential of people near by who might have been able to here the old sea shanties performed by a master songman and his jug band crew.
It is a beautiful short walk to the cove through the redwoods, the bridge was washed out leading to the old schoolhouse that we didn't take, but there is still a path to get there.
I had read reviews about a militant ranger, I can tell you first hand that he is no longer there. You would be more likely to meet a new friend than an authority figure at Stillwater even if you were...

We enjoyed hiking in the forest, seeing the ferns, beach, and other of God's creation. It would be nice if the trails were marked somehow that made sense instead of starting at point 20, going from 17 directly to 3, and finding a dead end. The bridge that is "out" could be rebuilt, and the scraps from the new bridge which have been laying there for quite some time should be removed. Informative signs could be posted along the trail (like at Armstrong Woods) instead of relying on the poorly laminated papers at the trail's beginning. The schoolhouse was neat to see. Wouldn't have minded more historical information about it though. The signage at the beach is less than comprehensible as well. Are we not allowed there at all? or is it open to walk-in visitors, and can we park nearby without having to cross the highway at the hairpin curve? Somehow, we made...

A nice little state park. The day use fee is $7 which I feel is a little much for what the park offers. There is only about 3-4 miles of trails. One trail is about a mile long and loops in the canyon region and goes up to an old school house. The other trail goes further up the hillside and about a mile into the woods/park but is primarily an old degraded fire road, I turned around at the larger bridge since there was no exciting scenery. The cove is nice and is just a short walk from the parking area. The final trail is a coastal cliff side trail that you need to leave the parking area and park on the side of Hwy 1 to access, which does not require a day use fee. Overall the park is nice and you can easily spend and hour or two here. The campground looks nice as well, I wish the day use fee was only $5 or even less for what the...
