Sonoma Coast State Park Pomo Canyon Overview

Pomo Canyon Environmental Campground has about 21 walk-to (tent only) campsites set among a beautiful redwood grove in Sonoma Coast State Park. All sites are first-come, first-serve. The campground is usually open mid March through early October.

All of the campsites have day-long shade from the towering redwoods. Each site also has a table, fire ring and grill. Campsites 1-10 are up on the hill and sites 11-21 are along a creek.  Our favorite sites (14, 15, 16, 19, 20 and 21) are along the creek. The walk/hike from the parking area ranges from 1/4 mile (site 1) to 3/4 of a mile (site 21).

Amenities include vault toilets. Water is not available. Dogs/pets are also not allowed in the campground, trials or roads.  Cell service is not available.  All gear/trash must be packed in and out.
