Base camp
Steven Spielberg begins shooting The Lost World, the sequel to Jurassic Park, on September 4, 1996 in Hawaii. Sometimes absent from the set, too busy with the creation of the studio Dreamwork SKG with his associates, the director manages the operations by videoconference. It is also for this reason that he shoots in Hawaii a lot less scenes than for the first episode. He then found an alternative in Sue-meg State Park, north of San Francisco. The plant species and the wild character of the place make a very good substitute for the Hawaiian jungle.
The set designers set up several of the film’s key settings, such as the base camp, at Sue-men State Park. Steven Spielberg also exploits Ceremonial Rock, from which the characters observe the dinosaur hunt. Agate Beach and the cliffs of Wedding Rock are also visible. The place where the bride and groom celebrated their union had completely changed function during the shooting.
Not far from there, in Fern Canyon, the team organizes the attack of Dieter Stark (Peter Stormare) by tiny compsognathus. If the budget of The Lost World is slightly higher than that of Jurassic Park, the filming was nevertheless largely located on the American continent. Steven Spielberg having decided to reduce the risks related to the unpredictable climate of Hawaii. Climate because of which he had to return home during the production of Jurassic Park, following a terrible storm.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park won 6 Saturn Awards in 1998.

Visitors can assess there in a reconstruction of the Yurok village and enjoy the campsites as well as the beach.
