Easy 101

It is right off 101. We had easy pull through. Seems real quiet. Laundry being renovated. Bathhouse seems fine. Nice big grassy area towards the dog park. Nice for our dogs. So far so good.

Great sites, amenities need work

This was one of the best campsites we have had at a KOA.  We were in a grove of redwoods and it was beautiful (forget Starlink at our site).  That said, we were here for the nearby State and National Parks, and we needed showers, bathroom, and laundry facilities when we were done for the day.  Unfortunately we did not see a staff member for the entire 3 days, 2 nights we were there.  There were showers that didn't work, sinks that didn't work, paper towel dispensers that were empty, and trash that wasn't collected.  Only 1 washer worked, and there was a constant line to do laundry (we passed).    If all we needed was a place to camp, I might have rated it higher.

Great place

We spent a night at Koa and had a great experience. Our tent spot was quiet and had a beautiful view in the morning. The facilities were also excellent. Koa is located near the National Park entrance.

Avoid

We stayed 5-27-24 through 6-1-24. This is NO KOA Holiday or any KOA type. This place gives KOA a bad name. Office open from 10-3?!?! No visible employees on site, with notices of theft?!?! Which is probably the reason my verified delivered package was not received. Restrooms were not cleaned for 3 straight days and I have dated photograph proof (see below). 2nd bathhouse closed. Permanent Residence in prominent site was a junk heap. Sites with grass/weeds growing higher than firepit rings (pics of also). We are full time campers and stay at numerous KOA’s and others and this place is definitely a place to avoid.

Nice Campground, Great location

Very nice park. Clean grounds and restrooms. There are some really nice pull thru sites and cabins. Our pull thru was a bit tight due to booking late, but it worked. Nice people in the office, very helpful about local attractions. The playground was nice for our grandson to play at. Visiting the giant redwoods was great. Stopped at Trees of Mystery, a nice place to visit.

Camping near the Redwoods

Clean campground, our spot was near the play area, dog park and office. They have some area tucked into the redwoods. They have some farm animals! We really appreciated that they let us check in a little early!

Right in the trees!

Our stay at this KOA was last minute. We had planned on driving further south but wildfire smoke prevented us from continuing. The cabin we stayed in was nestled right in the redwoods! Showers and bathrooms were clean. Very nice camp hosts!

I deducted a star because we were told that due to the wildfires, we couldn’t have a campfire. We went to town for dinner since we had no other way to cook our hot dogs. When we got back to the campground, multiple sites had campfires going. Very confusing. Otherwise our stay was great!

CC KOA

Great place to stay, many options in the red woods. We had the chance to change our site. Some spots have strange set ups. Very clean overall very good.

Would love better WIFI couldn’t download movies or connect the TV. But hey your camping with the world’s largest trees.

Loved sleeping in the trees

We stopped here in early September 2019 just looking for a couple nights stay before our last stop on a 18day road trip across the US and got their last spot. The staff was incredibly nice and helped us find a few good trails to hike. We had a beautiful huge, huge, huge stump in our tent site. Everyone was neighborly. The couple next to us were dancing to music one night after dinner, it was so sweet. Easy drive to the beach and the forest. We did not put our rain fly on and woke up looking through the trees.

This is a keeper!

A great place for tent camping surrounded by huge redwood trees providing privacy and quiet. New fire pits at many sites. Typical KOA restrooms and amenities.

It was our first KOA experience. We were at 101 spot with wire /electric. It was amazing. Very private, with shade, and easy to back into. The campsite is clean with great facilities and friendly staff. Would definitely come here again!!!

Good location, average ambience

Conveniently close to the iconic redwoods on the California/Oregon coast. The campsite itself has good amenities but not necessarily the most natural setting.

Bad policy!

Showed up with no reservation - tent sites were available - great place!! BUT, because my tent sets up in my pick-up bed on a special foam pad and not on the ground (I am unable to sleep on the ground due to knee, hip, and back issues) my 15 year old daughter and I were turned away (at 8:30 p.m. after having driven over 8 hours). ☹️ Security guy said it was “policy.” “Insurance reasons.” KOA’s notification says, “No car or van camping/sleeping.” I’m sorry, but a tent that is made purposely for setting up in a pickup bed so that you don’t have to crawl on your hands and knees to enter and exit is NOT ‘car or van sleeping.’ You are still CAMPING IN A TENT. We finally found a different campground willing to let us in... at 11:30p.m.
