Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park Campground is in a pine and oak forest five miles from Santa Cruz

The Nature Center and picnic area are have separate park entrance on Highway 9 in Felton, about 3

A Special Note about Poison Oak
Poison oak flourishes throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, where it provides food and
shelter for wildlife and aids in erosion control. It grows in the form of a bush or vine, and
when leaves are present they are in groups of three with lobed edges. Autumn poison oak
leaves turn a beautiful red and fall off, leaving bare stems. All parts of the plant produce an
oil that causes a rash on most people. Learn to identify this plant, and stay on designated
trails in order to minimize exposure.
Campsites are available on a “site-specific”
reservation system. Reservations are highly
recommended between Memorial Day and
Labor Day. Henry Cowell closes seasonally;
please call 800-444-7275 for our dates of
operation. Length of stay limit is seven days.
Campers 18 years and younger must have a
verifiable note with permission to camp from
a parent or legal guardian.
Checkout time is noon. Campers are limited
to 30 days total within the Santa Cruz district.
Park vehicles in the driveway of your campsite
only. Park extra cars at the campfire center.
Dogs must be kept on a six-foot maximum
leash at all times and are permitted only on
paved roads, Powder Mill Road (at the campfire
center), Pipeline Road, Graham Hill Trail and
the Meadow Trail. Keep pets in a tent or vehicle
at night and never leave them unattended.
Be alert to hikers and children playing. The park
speed limit is 15 mph.
For your safety and their health, do not feed the
wildlife; they can be aggressive and dangerous
and may carry disease.
