> 1.  Richardson Grove State Park (3 possible campsites: Huckelberry, Madrone,
> and Oak Flat).  These are described in " The Complete Guide to California
> Camping" by Tom Stienstra, pp 75-76 as follows:  "Set in a giant grove of
> costal redwoods, the tallest trees in the world.  Good hiking, sight-seeing,
> but often crowded by tourists in summer months.  Good base camp in wintermonths
> for steelhead fishing in the South Fork of Eel River. Reservations a must in
> summer months through MISTIX by phoning (800) 446-7275.  $10 per night fee.
> Number for Richardson Grove State Park at (707) 946-2311."
> One of our member reported that the campground he saw there looked "really
> nice - with access to the river for sun bathing or swimming."
>
> 2.  Makericher (sp?) campground, north of Ft. Bragg.
>
> 3.  Standish Hickey campground in the redwoods.
>
> 4.  Trinity Alps (near Weaverville):  "looks a lot like the german alps
> actually, and is not touristy at all - not that we care either way as long as
> we have buses and booze..."
>
> 5.  Big Lagoon, about 30 minutes north of Eureka.  This is near Patrick's
> Point State Park, near Agate Beach.
