Redwood Area Campmeeting, located in southern Humboldt County, has been the delight of thousands of campers dating back to the 1950’s.  The first Seventh-day Adventist event was held at the Cookson Ranch along Redwood Creek.  It has been a long-cherished summer destination for those seeking solace and spiritual renewal.  When you come to the redwoods in late July, you will experience the luxury of fog-cooled mornings and hot afternoons, which might beckon you to the banks of the Eel River.

Redwood Area Camp always has Volunteer Opportunities!

Maintaining a camp the size of ours is already a chore. Add the fact that it is in a flood plain of the Eel River and that fact is magnified ten-fold.

Each year, volunteer weekends are scheduled, and the mighty and faithful crews that come often find anything from downed trees, branches, and mud deposits to plumbing and broken refrigeration units.

We invite you to join our efforts to keep your campground safe, inviting, and in working order.
