Flint Ridge Backcountry Site - Redwood National and State Park

A backcountry permit is required for overnight camping: https://www.nps.gov/redw/planyourvisit/backcountry.htm When parking at trailhead, secure items of value and keep them out of sight; better yet, leave them at home! Lock vehicle doors, roll up windows, and engage anti-theft devices. West access: 1/4-mile to camp from Coastal Trail - Flint Ridge Section Trailhead (Coastal Drive); or East access: 41/2 miles to camp from Coastal Trail - Flint Ridge Section Trailhead (Alder Camp Road).

Food and Garbage Storage Store food, garbage, cooking gear, and all odorous items in food storage lockers. When cooking and/or eating, do not let wildlife access food and/or garbage.
