What campers say
The campground report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores are worth reading together: campers love the shady grove, the price, the trails and the friendly host, while no showers, sometimes-dirty restrooms, US-101 noise near the entrance and tight roads come up often.

Florence Keller is a Del Norte County park in a 26-acre grove of second-growth redwoods, most of it deeded to the county by Earle Keller in 1967. Its 50 campsites sit on two narrow one-way loops and are first come, first served, with a camp host, trails and a playground.
Best for
- Tent campers, vans and small trailers up to 32 ft.
- Budget travelers: $20 a night under the redwoods.
- Families: a playground, horseshoes and easy trails.
- Travelers without reservations; campers say there are usually open sites.
Consider this
- No showers, and restrooms are sometimes out of order.
- Sites near the entrance hear US-101.
- Narrow one-way roads and small pads; not for big rigs.
- Heavy shade blocks solar and Starlink, and sites get muddy in heavy rain.
