Throw it all in the car and get yourself here! Amass a big group of families or come with your core group - Hendy Woods campground is a giant, redwood tree, magical find, with tons to do for busy camping families.
Soft pine needle carpeting on large camping sites make it comfy and still nature-y -- and the giant loops of roads that form the campground make it the perfect track for kids on bikes. (Drive slowly, kids darting in and out all over the place.)
A water-hole nearby is a must on a hot day, and wineries and the ocean in one direction or the other sort of make you rub your eyes and mumble quietly to yourself: Is this a dream? Pinch!
There's a market just minutes from the campground that sells everything you've forgotten. And has gorgeous, fresh, local salmon scooped right out of the Pacific Ocean nearby.

Our kiddos look forward to it each year.
