Williams Grove Day Use Area- Group Campground
Camping Option: Humboldt Redwoods State Park For guests who prefer to stay closer to nature, we’ve reserved the Williams Grove Group Campground at Humboldt Redwoods State Park for the wedding weekend, Friday, July 10 through Sunday, July 12. Check-in is Friday at 2:00 PM, and check-out is Sunday at 12:00 PM. Set among beautiful old-growth redwoods along the Avenue of the Giants, this place holds a special meaning to us — It’s where Erika and Bradley first met and continue to work! The shared site can accommodate up to 60 people and 18 vehicles and includes picnic tables, fire rings, and flush toilets. Hot pay showers are available at nearby campgrounds, and the South Fork of the Eel River is just steps away, with access to miles of scenic trails. Guests staying at the campground are responsible for bringing their own camping gear and supplies; the campsite itself is provided. If you’re interested in staying at the campground, please RSVP on the website so can keep track of interested guests. This is a great option for anyone looking for a relaxed, outdoorsy way to spend the wedding weekend.
