Agate Campground — Hotel in McKinleyville

Patrick’s Point area is beautiful! The campground is situated as just a loop around the upper part. Near the hike down to and the expanse of Agate Beach. Waves for days. The campground itself left a little to be desired. Very clean if old facilities. Pleasant staff around in off-season. Not fancy by any stretch and not a hookup to be seen. Okay, it was wet and dark and damp on the days we stayed and that’s not the campground’s problem. But it still felt a little weary and socked in.

Don’t miss Ceremonial Rock or Sumeg Village - fun little hikes from Agate Campground. We ventured every day of our stay - really lovely.

Trinidad is a 12 minute drive and has some fun food options, plus utility stops like post office and groceries. Closest laundry is Eureka - 40 mins.

While it wasn’t our fave State Park campground - it worked for us, we’re glad we experienced the region, and honestly it was the best option for us passing through in a 24ft travel trailer. Quick tip: go for sites in the 110s/120s for more privacy and better access...

This campground and this park are amazing! There are so many beautiful views and hikes and trails of different difficulty levels. Agate Beach is huge and wild feeling and the sunsets are amazing from down there (unless you're fogged in which is also beautiful in it's own way). This next part is specific to the AGATE CABINS...1) bring a sleeping bag AND pad... There are no mattresses, 2) bring your own camp chairs (there is nothing to sit on inside - we used a food bin for a table), 3) bring quarters for the pay showers if you want one - I found $1 was enough for me...i think it's $1 per minute and 4) I saved the best for last... Bring an electric kettle!!! The cabins have electricity and an adorable electric wall heater. You can plug in your electric kettle for all the hot chocolate, oatmeal, ramen, and dishwater you want without leaving your cabin!!!! You will still be washing dishes at a spigot and sharing a bathroom camping style so be prepared for that. ...

We camped here for 2 nights in early June. The campsite we were assigned was in the perfect location, close enough to the bathrooms without being able to hear anything, same with the showers. We also were super close to the trail, which is scenic going down, but the beach itself isn't very impressive. We loved waking up to stellers jays singing, watching the hummingbirds and just appreciating the overall nature of the park. Be sure to keep your food locked up, we saw a cute little fox eating someone's take out on their picnic table. We also had a resident skunk that really wanted to hang out with us each night.

The only reason I give a 4/5 is because the visitor center was closed each time we tried to visit, the sign posted says open daily 10-5 year round, but it...
