This campground is located in a narrow canyon of small redwood trees. The campground road is very narrow, unpaved and, in the summer, dusty. Most of the campsites are closely spaced and not very attractive, in large part because they are so close to the road. Of the campsites #9, with its split redwood fence is the nicest.

The only attraction of this Reef Campground is beautiful Ross cove, which is about a quarter of a mile below the campground. The cove is very sheltered from the ocean and is a favorite place for snorkeling and abalone diving.
