Well I had a lot higher hopes for this campground and was bummed that the noise of the 101 took over from the enjoyment of the park. We chose site 91 as we didn’t need water or electricity and it was tucked back into some trees. We absolutely loved that setting as there were no neighbors. No laundry, but here was a shop, firewood for purchase, propane, showers and playground for the kids. Like like there were some nice cabins and pull through spots but the noise was a huge downfall for us.
Legend
We stayed here for half price with the Passport America discount - we paid $25 for a pull through E/ W site (normally$50), and refreshingly there were no taxes or fees added on to the price. We almost didn’t stay here, as on the Passport America site they state that they do not allow certain breeds of dogs, and we generally try to not support places that discriminate against certain breeds, even though our large dog is mixed breed dog who could pass for any number of breeds. But nobody mentioned anything about dogs when we arrived, and we saw no mention of it anywhere on their website or other signage, so we ended up staying.
It’s one of those run down, but in a comfortable kind of way, places. There’s a cute tree house and cute cabins (tiny), as well as a tent-only area for $30. There’s also a dump station (free for campers), a laundry room, and free showers. The showers were run down but clean. We ended up not using the laundry- they are $2 each for washer and dryer (they take quarters, and there’s no change machine), with a sign saying that your clothes may stain due to the iron in the water, and that you need to shake out the sawdust from your clothes before washing them (I guess a lot of loggers stay here?). Also, the water jug we had filled with their water was full of rusty red residue at the bottom, ick. And that water is what we used to fill our onboard RV tank (and that’s with using a filter). The RV park seems to be mostly long-termers or seasonal campers, it was very quiet and devoid of people when we stayed here after a holiday weekend.
Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We forgot to ask about wifi, but cell reception was good for Verizon and ATT. The park is nicely situated among the trees with an easy access from the highway, right near the entrance to the Avenue of the Giants. Would stay here again.

The campground is ok. The closest bathrooms near our site were closed due to renovation. The main bathrooms were good looking. The men’s bathroom kept running out of paper towels. One of the staff told me they can’t buy any toilet paper or paper towels anywhere. My wife had to keep bringing in toilet paper as they ran out. The pool was warm and spa hot. The most frustrating part was reservations. The website showed only tent sites with water and electricity. I then clicked on military discount and the website showed me a higher price. I called and left a message to get clarification. No one called me back. Turns out they apply the discount after you check in. Check in was another issue. The office was closed early and they gave me a tent site without electricity or water. So I had to call their after hours number to get them to change my site. Later in the office they told me that they aren’t responsible for their website. Campground is ok, but customer service needs work. Wish there were more options closer to Eureka. The WiFi worked good until the last day. The 15A outlet worked until the last day.

Absolutely gorgeous. Boat was kinda sassy but views were insane. Beach is beautiful. Bring your surf board for sure
ScoutSAVE YOUR MONEY! Absolute scam being ran here. I booked for my friend and I to stay for 3 nights in a cabin. I updated our check-in time to a later one, as we got stuck in road construction. Just wanted to communicate our situation and keep them updated as their office closes at 4pm! Nobody there in the evenings or during the night fyi. We arrive late at night and we see the self check-in box. We grabbed our cabin keys with our surname on the envelope. The next morning we took off on our excursion, just to get a voicemail from the office that there's a guest with the same surname as who can't check in because we"STOLE THEIR ROOM" First off, nobody stole anything. Had booking confirmation and guaranteed reservations sorted a week prior. I call them back and the lady says they need a different card to charge us to be able to stay there and that they sent a message to me via Booking.com the day prior. Ummm, so why didn't you bloody call me if there were card issues? I was driving all day and not checking my Booking.com app...They basically don't communicate and said they gave me 4 hours to update my card before giving our booked cabin away! So I gave them a new card, as I saw my previous one hadn't been charged, and it was sorted over the phone. At this point we really didn't even want to stay there with how they spoke to us. Totally out of order and tacky! 20 min later she calls back, says that they can't accommodate us now because STOLE a room from other guests and we had to vacate the cabin as soon as possible. Lol Wait WHAT?! Turn around to head back to the cabins, but first checked to see if my credit card had been charged...Locked my credit card and my debit card immediately!!!! Knew they were a scam at that point. Then the manager calls...oh boy she's a winner. Threatens to call the Sheriff as her associate told her that we said we weren't going to come back for our belongings. Lol! Absolute bonkers these broads are. Got our stuff, key dropbox, and we were off! So this dodgy, rundown, place is willing to leave people stranded if you don't keep an eye on your Booking app because they don't know how to CALL PEOPLE. Luckily, my children weren't with us that late at night with no place to stay! Also, being ex law enforcement, I know the laws and it would've wasted loads of time for a deputy to come to her rescue. Lol Moral of the story, check the Booking.com reviews better...cops apparently have been called on behalf of management and cops told the guests thjs place is a joke and they get called frequently by this manager person. Get a nice AirBnB! We are so glad we actually didn't stay there...we love our cottage we found!
RangerFirst thing to know is that this is a privately owned campground. It’s run similar to a hotel. You make your reservation for what type of site you want and what kind of trailer you have (or tent site). They assign you a campsite when you check in. From other reviews that I read they try to get you into a site that works for you. We have a pop up trailer so we were in a small section that had about 5 sites for vans and pop ups. Ours was a pretty good size site, but it was backed up to the backside of the cabins. So it wasn’t exactly private.
Overall it is a beautiful area and the tent camping spots looked more secluded. They have a wide variety of sites. Most of the trailer sites are right next to each other similar to an RV resort.
Bathrooms were clean and showers were adequate. They run in quarters and we were able to get some at the front desk.
Scout
It’s a ok place to stay. There are a lot of cats on property which got our dog riled up. Good location to see area attractions. Hookups we’re good. Seems like a lot of extended guests in cabins. If we stay again we’ll get a pull through site rather than back in. It didn’t help that we had a family with 2 ATVs staying in a cabin right by us and they’re kids (guessing ages 10-14) would drive around the camp for hours at a time. First time I’ve seen that at a koa.
Scout
Clean showerhouse and grounds. Recommended for a night or 2. Kids had a fun time in the river.
ScoutExcellent place on the Hill river, RVs, and cabins only, no tents.
Everything appeared to be newly renovated, great condition, clean, friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again. 
They even had an outdoor movie night on the Saturday night we stayed here. 
Traveler
The campground is very clean and quiet. The staff is friendly. Sites are tight, mostly in the sense of getting in and out of them. I suggest a premium patio site since they are on the ends of the rows along the exit of the 1 way street. They are the easiest to pull into from your row. Big rigs may have some maneuvering otherwise. We are in a 42' 5th wheel and we're glad to not have had neighbors when we moved in. All hookups are at the very back of your site so the power posts are slightly in the way when pulling in. Driving in the grass is unavoidable. Parking at your site for bigger rigs is difficult.
ScoutI've always loved Sue-Meg/Patricks Point, the trails and Agate Beach were my favorites when I lived locally. Camping here is fun as well and we keep coming back as often as we can. This trip we stayed in site 100 at Agate beach. It wasn't our favorite site that we've stayed at but it was nice. It is quite open to the parking lot for the Agate beach trail and doesn't have much seclusion, so you're really out in the open. You're next to the cabins, which made us slightly jealous we didn't book them for this trip lol. We had our dog with us, which is nice that they are allowed but a bummer that the dogs aren't allowed on any trails in the park. It's also nice how centrally located the park is in Humboldt. It's close enough to Arcata and Eureka that you can head down for food and other trails/activities in the surrounding area.
We got super lucky with the weather, it was sunny and no rain for the 3 days we stayed in April. It was kind of busy this second weekend in April, lots of families and other dogs, but most people were friendly and quiet. The campground next to us had some younger guys who we caught climbing into the trees and sawing off branches for their firewood, which was sad to see.
Besides that it was an amazing weekend at Sue-Meg, I highly recommend the park. :)
GuideEmerald Forest is just that, nestled in a forest. It was a little muddy when we visited but California was smack dab in the middle of a very wet season. Our campsite was level and secluded. The bathrooms were clean and showers had nice warm water, did have to pay for the showers but a couple quarters isn’t much. We stayed two nights and walked to town every morning for coffee and scones from Beachcomber…delicious! Our dogs absolutely loved running on the beach which was also a couple mile walk away. Our second visit to this campground was as good as our first. Love this place and would return again.
GuideAbsolutely beautiful but right now it is a total MUD FEST. They have had a ton of rain with more on the way. It is a lovely campground nestled into the trees and would be great in the summer and provide protection from the summer heat. I would like to come back when it dries out. It’s close to a beautiful beach and some cool hiking but too muddy for now. Wait until late May, Early June. Sites are tight and some of the back ins a re super hard. I watched someone in an RV try to squeeze in and he had to move. I had difficulty getting in with my van as there was a large RV across from me with other vehicles parked around it.
TravelerDefinitely snuggled in the beautiful trees. Clean park, my parking spot was very level, roads are not paved so they got muddy in the recent rain. You do have to pay for the showers, but the bathrooms are clean and private.
GuideWe used this campground as a one night layover on our way to sunny California. Ordinarily we would have booked a campsite in the Redwoods State and National Park but storm damage from earlier this winter closed many of the campgrounds in the area. It was nice having showers available. We appreciated that staff was proactive in changing our site to a more convenient one to the front bathrooms for the same price as one we had booked further back. They did this because they were repairing the back bathrooms.
GuideAt the Benbow KOA you will find everything you need for your camping enjoyment The sites are spacious and beautiful easy to access no complaints and the general store has everything you need including wine.
GuideIn my humble opinion Benbow KOA is one of the finest KOAs out there it's not only beautiful and easy to access very accessible but it's in the middle of the redwoods it's right next to the avenue of the Giants The grandfather tree is down the street everything that you want to see is right here what more could you ask for

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We'd like to give a warm welcome to this host. This property offers gorgeous mountain views, comfortable beds, and close access to outdoor activities. Check them out and leave them some love!
ScoutThis area was awesome! We took the pups and everyone was very friendly while we were there. Every day was foggy and rainy but was expected for that time of the year.
GuideThis was one of the best campgrounds we ever stayed at the area was fantastic avenue of the Giants is not to be missed the grandfather tree it was just a fantastic area We're going back for a month
GuideOnly stayed one night on a coastal road trip but this place for sure left an impression. Gorgeous views. Great campground. Great weather. We heard a bear in the night, and raccoons everywhere around our tents. The only negative is the trails are not dog friendly. Which is a shame because I would love to go ‘splorin here. I will definitely be back. Soon.
TravelerClean facilities throughout. Every one of the bathhouses restrooms were spotless every time I visited. Many spots are covered by the canopy of mature redwoods. If visiting the State and National parts it's a great spot near Eureka without having to go to town. There's a lot of roadwork right now so the trip to Crescent City was 1.25 hours... So going north to Jeddah Smith is definitely a day trip. Can be tight for trailers in some spots but they laid things out well. A few spots by the road but wasn't our problem. I didn't see another private campground I'd perfer after heading north. Great spot and would come back.
ScoutNice campsite by the river. Sites are spaced sufficiently apart. Occupancy is low this time of the year.

Small rv park within cute mom and pop resort with cabins. Also have tent sites. Sites are tight and not level side to side. But clean and adequate with FHU. Also showers if needed.

Ok, has lots of room in November. $45 for a pull thru with electric and water
