In Support of the Redwood Coast

Redwood Parks Conservancy (RPC) and our public lands partners are responding to the spread of COVID-19 in ways that will help keep our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Collectively, we’ve made significant changes to our operations to comply with CDC guidelines and orders from our state and local governments. As our partner parks and facilities relax restrictions, we will keep this site updated. For information on specific parks visit Redwood National and State Parks website and California North Coast Redwoods District’s Facebook Page.

Some visitor centers and most RPC park stores are closed at Redwood National and State Parks and other California State Parks in the North Coast Redwoods District. RPC is working with our partners to plan for continued re-opening that will maximize safety while giving visitors access.

The Thomas H. Kuchel visitor center bookstores and the Hiouchi Vistor Center bookstores of Redwood National Park are open for sales and park information.

We are operating our park store at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park outside on the porch of the visitor center and will hopefully be able to open other stores to outdoor operations very soon.

What is Open and What is Closed in the Parks?

At this time, some Visitor Centers and museums are closed. The Gasquet Ranger Station in Smith River National Recreation Area is not open regular hours at this time.  

• Campgrounds are open in Redwood National and State Parks and Patrick’s Point State Park. Some sites, such as group sites will not be available at this time. Backcountry camping permits are available using an online application.

If you are coming, we hope you enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of the redwoods, beaches and prairies while you are here! There is still plenty to do! Please keep social distancing and hygiene guidelines in mind during your travels.

Stay safe and be well,

Joanna Di Tommaso, Executive Director
