I hope you already have reservations at one of the campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. I am guessing that what you mean by redwoods is the state and national park area near Orick. Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is one of the jewels of the state park system. If you can get a spot there, you will not regret it. BTW, your drive from Humboldt SP to Del Norte is not a fast drive at all and road maintenance is normal. At a minimum, do not pass up taking the Nathan Drury Scenic By Way through Prairie Creek. I like it better than the Avenue of the Giants.
For hikes, the Founders Grove is busy and popular in Humboldt SP. A little ways away, up Matolle Rd as the road crosses the Eel River, the Roosevelt grove is another good one. On the road to Albee Creek Campground. When you get to Prairie Creek SP, the Fern Canyon walk is another highlight. You can walk/hike from there to Prairie Creek, about 4 miles one way.
