"There are a few trails around the campground, and a wonderful walk along the river. There are beaches very close by, one I would particularly recommend is Harris State Park."
LegendWe didn't stay here, but we checked it out while staying at Beachfront RV across the street.
All sites are full hookup, with 30 and 50 amp power, cable, and wifi.
There is laundry and free showers on site. $49/night with monthly and long term rates available. Your RV must be 10 years or newer, or you can send them a photo if you have a vintage or older RV.
The park is located in the busy port area, with cars driving by, people coming and going to the day use area to go fishing and hang out at the beach, the coast guard station across the street, as well as several restaurants and gift shops in easy walking distance.
Cell reception is good in this area for all 3 carriers.
ScoutI stayed here over the winter. The staff is great. They have a monthly rate in the winter months. They have tiny homes for rent, propane, laundry, a little store, and sites with hot tubs. The sites all have nice grassy patches, a picnic table, and a fire pit. There is a path to the beach/ocean. It’s a couple of minutes walk from any site there. Ranging from 2 to 5 minutes depending on how far your site is from the path. Everyone is pretty relaxed. Just a few people are permanent residents and I was one of the longest stays for the winter. It’s generally pretty quiet. They have a dog park. It’s a great place. I’d highly recommend it.
LegendAfter climbing up, up, up along the coast, the Mill Creek access road takes you twisting down into a valley among the trees.
Upon arrival the rangers assigned me a campsite but worked hard to figure out which is the available sites best suit my needs. We settled on a site along an out of the way loop. On a Thursday night mid-September there were many open campsites and the campground was pretty quiet. It was incredible just to wander around the campground and wonder at the trees. Mill Creek is in a second generation forest. The old growth trees had been cut for logging years ago but their awe-inspiring stumps are scattered throughout the campground. The trees that grow today are impressive in their own way.
Roughly 20 minutes from Crescent City, there's relatively quick access to the beach and coastline. Check out the Battery Point Lighthouse which can only be accessed at low tide. The campground has flushing toilets, drinking water, and pay showers. There are also fire pits, picnic tables, and large bear lockers in each campsite. The roads down to the campground and throughout are a little rough, keep an eye out for big dumps and dips. The campground hosts sell firewood and have quarters for the showers and are incredibly friendly. I loved staying at Mill Creek and had a wonderful experience yet, $35 dollars a night feels a little pricey.
ScoutClean, safe, gated property, right on the Klamath River. Spectacular views surrounded by nature's paradise. Clean facilities, new laundry room with modern equipment. Wifi works great, cable TV and friendly staff.
ScoutFirst tried to phone harbormaster on a Saturday but they are only open Monday to Friday. Had a difficult time figuring out where this was but eventually found a place that was for long term dwellers and was filthy with junk. Another area in the harbor has big rig RVs in a parking lot. Not suitable for any other type camping.
TravelerOriginally planned to stay for 4 days but ended up extending the trip a few extra days. Management was extremely helpful, polite, and accommodating. We were lucky to have a beautiful and secluded site. The campground is half a mile away from Jedediah State Park and the Smith River. 15 minutes from Crescent City and a short drive to Brookings. The spots can be a little tricky to get into and those with larger rigs should contact the management office to ensure they can fit and maneuver properly but we saw plenty of huge Class As and triple axle 5th wheels. Cell phone coverage is spotty but they offer wifi and it allowed us a good chance to disconnect. The campground is far enough inland way from the coast that the marine layer burned off much quicker so we had beautiful sunny days with a nice cool breeze.
ScoutNew fifth wheel with a sliding hitch was giving me issues with a back in site. The staff escorted the took the time to work with me to get the rig parked perfectly in the spot (great that he is a big rig driver!). The is a great location in the middle of the redwoods. Definately a ton of tent camping and lots of trails.
GuideIn the center of the Redwood National Park. Grassy sites, some with concrete pad. Sun and shade available. Quiet. Water and electric $46. Bathrooms not modern but clean. Free Hot showers. A few seasonal. Fire department and local police officers hang out here. Pull through sites. Good Sam.
GuidePretty location close to town, beach goes on for miles in either direction and campsites are located practically on the sand. The downside is the beach is usually busy and not much can be found unless you’re an early riser. Beach is pet friendly and rv is usually the best accommodations here.
Crescent City, California, offers a fantastic selection of RV camping options surrounded by stunning natural beauty, including the majestic redwoods and picturesque coastline.
