My family had a blast camping here! Full rv hook ups, clean bathrooms and showers, and gorgeous views of the bay and Battery Point Lighthouse. Within walking distance to Ocean World and the Apple Peddler. Longer walk but a nice walk or bike ride to beach front park. All of the campsites have concrete slabs but not all sites have picnic tables and you have to bring your own fire pit.
Guide
The park is a bit run down. There are definitely a lot of long term residents. It is right across the (busy) street from the harbor and less than a mile into town. 4 Verizon bars and decent WiFi. Showers weren't bad either. The spots are clean and they have full hook ups.
Traveler
Beautiful RV park nestled in the California redwoods. 1 mile away from Trees of Mystery. Full hook ups for Rv's, tent camping area as well. The family won't get bored here! They have hiking trails, horseshoes and an adorable little 18 hole mini golf course to boot! Just a mile down the road is Trees of Mystery, a few miles the other direction is a casino, jet boat rides up the Klamath River , scenic drives abound including an elk reserve, and it's approximately 25 minutes to the coast. Wonderful little general store and the nicest couple who run the park.

GuideDecent site to stay. We stopped and stayed for 1 night to see the redwoods. It's very close and the staff was nice. Amenities and camp ground were good, but with 3 kids not much for them to do at the rv site itself. Rv parking spots were smaller then the previous we have stayed on our road trip. They did have coin operated laundry area near the office as well as bathrooms and showers (I believe they were coin operated aswell, but I didn't use them since we had our RV) around the resort. One of the bigger issues we had was that they placed us next to a person who stays there long term. Unfortunately they had planters that made it difficult for us to park and detach our trailer/toy hauler. One thing that was really nice was the wifi. Unlike some other places we've been it worked throughout the entire rv site without issue. Overall great place to stay and explore the redwoods.
Gas station is near the entrance. They close and lock their pumps up so make sure to check the hours. They also have a Cafe across the street that's open during the morning.

We 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.

We have visited Turtle Rock RV Resort twice and both times it was a very positive experience. Some of the sites are a little close, but if you do your research and reserve a space early, you can get a great space. We love being right on Hunter Creek. A short walk to the beach. A short to the Mexican restaurant next to the campground office. Good food, reasonable prices, and a friendly staff. We attended the annual music festival which is held there and it was great! We always use full hookups so I can't comment on the bathrooms and showers. Campground was clean and they even watered the dirt road to keep the dust down. Staff was very helpful and friendly on the phone and in person. Their web site is easy to use for choosing your space. We plan on return trips often.

My family and I come here every winter and stay for 5 months..this place is great. It has big RV spaces. Bathrooms and 3 showers as well as a laundromat that isn't expensive to wash and dry your clothes. Has a clubhouse as my daughter puts it that has tv you can watch cable on, a stove and microwave, sink, a few tables with chairs, bookshelf with lots of books and puzzles your able to use, as well as a fire place to keep it warm in there. Everything is clean here and they clean it daily. Everyone who stays here all have seemed very nice. The people who run this place are amazing so friendly and will help you if there is something that needs done at you space you're staying in. Has full hook ups and they offer cable and internet for your RV space. Your definitely going to enjoy your stay here. It's open all year round.

This county park is beautiful.
You are surrounded by redwoods with very little sunshine so if you rely on solar this will be a problem. Sites are very clean, fairly level and of varying sizes. We were able to find a spot we fit in with our 26ft RV. I suggest driving around first before picking a spot as some are better than others. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit and there were water spigots throughout the park.
There is quite a bit of road noise and some construction noise during the day but quieted down at night. There seemed to be a lot of cars coming and going but overall few campers, we wondered if the day use area is a popular hangout spot for the locals. We didn't hear excessive noise though so not sure where everyone was headed.
The various nature trails in the campground were nice to stroll around in, and there was a small creek as well. There is a day use area with horseshoe pits, including horseshoes, and volleyball or badminton grass court with no net and a playground.
While walking along one of the nature trails we noticed tires, hooks and such in the trees that were probably used as a ropes challenge course at some point.
The downside was while walking around this park we saw one trailer that had their sewer line with no cap and a large bucket sitting underneath it to catch the waste, the hosts were blaring music while chopping wood and talking loudly, and there was a rundown camper just parked near the picnic area. These looked to be long term situations but since the sites are fairly secluded it did not bother us. There is one full hook up site for $30/night otherwise $20/night. Self pay, no reservations.
The campgound road was paved but narrow in spots and the paved parking spots at each site varied in length. Bigger rigs would have a problem in this park. It was overall nice and we would stay again.
There are trash bins throughout cutely designed like tree stumps, but no recycling bins. Good cell reception with AT&T, Verizon and T-Moblie.

This is the second summer that we have stayed at Klamath River RV Park. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful. It has well maintained grounds and friendly staff. RV spaces are on grass. It has laundry and restrooms/showers. River access a nearby drive but not at the RV park.
ScoutGreat RV resort in Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park. Very clean and nice sized RV and Tent sites.

This campground is right next to the Rouge River. There is a beautiful day use area with lots of picnic tables and a neat gazebo. You can swim, boat, float, or sun tan by the river.Plenty if recreational activities on this river. Tent and trailer camps spots are available with. Bathrooms, showers, and hookups also available at this open year round campground. Well maintained and is a perfect spot along the river.
Ranger
The rv park was clean and well taken care of. We had full hookups and a picnic table. There is also a small playground on the property.
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.
Guide
The best maintained, well kept RV resort you will find. Right on the beautiful Rogue River and just a few minutes drive to the town of Gold Beach. Very quiet and great for fishing or just watching the river sweep by. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in keeping a serene and clean resort. Would love to come back and spend more time fishing and exploring the area.
ScoutThis RV park was a little slice of heaven. The owner (Gary) was very hospitable. The park had a little bit of everything… river views, wooded trails, huge fire pits, full hookups, etc. They have a swing set for little kids, and large grounds for them to run and play on the grounds. Highly recommend this location if your traveling in the northern redwoods.
Guide
Great host, they upgraded us to a river front space. Trees and shade on most spaces. Full hook ups and Wifi. Level with gravel drive and grass.
Traveler
Elk country rv resort was AMAZING! Nothing beats sleeping under the canopy of redwood trees and waking in the brisk morning to find elk grazing in the adjacent pasture, who could care less that you’re there. It had almost a magical feel to it! The only negative I could find was that you do have to pay to shower, and we rarely had warm water. not sure if there was something going on with the showers or if that’s just how they are, but I took some of the fastest showers in my life lol
GuideRosevelt Elk roam through the campground. They were obviously used to people. We stayed on the “meadow” side where the elk roam through your campsite. The “forest” side is quite dark as you are camping in the redwoods. We had full hook ups on the meadow side. I am not sure if the forest side had full hook ups. They have a small pond with a ton of polliwogs in it (end of June). No fish in the pond as a couple of otters came in and ate the all the fish. Close proximity to the southern end of Redwoods National Park and many California State Parks. All in all this was a once in a lifetime experience!
Guide
There is absolutely no signage and very confusing trying to find our spot. The facility is beautiful with sites tucked into the trees and overall well maintained. There are a ton of long term campers in really prime spots. Overall okay and in a good location. 3 stars for the price and difficulty navigating the property.
ScoutAcross from Stone Lagoon and Dry Lagoon Beach along Highway 101. This campground accommodates tent camping and RV full hook-up. Herd of Roosevelt Elk live there and are frequently in the campground. Beautiful grounds and open all year.
LegendThis is an amazing Grove of redwoods just north of Crescent City on the 101. There's about 50 campsites between the 10th spaces and RV spaces. This park seems to be overlooked by many. Not well advertise not good signage but just a left turn off the 101 northbound. There's only one full hookup spot in the campground. The other thing of major note is that this is such a thick Grove of redwoods that all of the roads through the campground are barely one lane wide and one way. We have a 30-foot travel trailer and it was very difficult to maneuver into or out of the full hookup spot. There are just two or three other spaces that will accommodate a good size rig. Most of the spots would not accommodate more than a 20 ft travel trailer and a vehicle. We really enjoyed this part very quiet and peaceful and towering redwoods! They had quite a few pathways for hiking throughout the small Park but the amazing history that the redwoods told us as we walked through was astounding! Very quiet, very peaceful, very dark and tall Forest. Cool in the shade of all of these Giants. There's also quite a large family Park area in the middle of the Grove with a playground and a large covered area with tables for a party or such. You really feel as if you're far from the world in the middle of this little Grove even though you're just next to the 101 highway. Please note when you make the left turn off the highway on to the (elk valley cross) Google maps will then instruct you to immediately make a left into the park which unfortunately is the one-way exit out of the park. Do not follow Google maps here. Continue past that exit road which has a bunch of wrong Way signs by the way, and continue to the next left (Cunningham Lane) which will take you around the side of the park to the proper entrance. If you like redwoods and shade and quiet this park is for you.

This run down little campground is one of our favorites. It’s split into two sides: 1 side is the regular tightly packed RV park with full hookups and an age limitation of 20 years for your RV. Next to the RV park is a small cute mobile home community, as well as some rental units that were under construction when we were there in the summer. On the other side of the mobile homes is the boondock/ tent side. There are water spigots at each site, some dilapidated wobbly picnic tables that are barely standing, and some rocks formed into a small makeshift fire pit. There are also showers and toilets on this side. The whole boondock side looks like an abandoned drive-in movie theater. Add to that the super friendly staff and the old hotel and restaurant that are closed and abandoned and look haunted, and you have such a unique and oddly charming place to stay.
Smaller RVs have the option of staying in one of several waterfront sites, which are tucked away from the main areas and are out almost on the beach. Sadly, our 26ft Class C is too big to camp in one of those sites.
The RV park side is expensive, at approx $55/night, but they offer a Passport America discount at 50% off for one night. The laundry and showers are clean. There is a community room with a great water view and there’s also a book exchange in the room. The boondock side is around $27/night, not cheap, especially considering the lack of amenities, but we love it anyway. We love the boondock side much more than the RV park side. It’s generally deserted, plenty of space all around you, and it’s so quiet and peaceful. The beach is a short walk away, and you can walk all the way along the beach along the Smith River to where it meets the ocean. There is an amazing amount of wildlife and tide pools here. We saw so many otters, sea lions, osprey, pelicans, and even a herd of elk one early morning.
Cell service is good here, and the park’s wifi (on the RV park side) wasn’t bad. There are trash dumpsters throughout the park and one large mixed recycling bin near the entrance. You can also get propane here.
Legend
Nice RV park with lots of amenities and activities. The sites are weirdly situated, with a row of small spaces all along the fence ($25/night), and several circles throughout the center where multiple RVs share the same gazebo & sink ($33/night). We didn't check out the tent area.
Popular place to come fishing and everyone was very social and out and about.
We paid $26/night (with tax) for a full hookup site along the fence. We didn't have a reservation and were able to get a spot that day.
The place has a cute old timey rustic design throughout.
Good cell reception.
Lots of amenities here:
- laundry ($1 wash, $2 dry)
- sauna (currently closed)
- clean showers
- book exchange
- pool tables
- small market
- nearby hikes along the river
- cafe on site
- games and game room
- recycling
- tent sites and separate tent area
- free wifi and cable
LegendThis is an amazing campground right off of hwy 101. With old growth redwood stumps and trails amongst new growth. If you are driving by you must stop. This is a beautiful site. I do have to warn you this must be under old school management, while most host sites are clean and managed this host site looks like something out of a horror movie. Not to scare you but they must be old time long term (hoarding( hosts.
GuideDidn’t have a great time at this rv park.
Also realize the closer you are to the beach, the closer you are to the highway 101. Beach access was very nice, but overall I didn’t enjoy my stay and left as soon as I could.

This place has so much potential, and is poorly run. I booked my site 3 weeks prior to arrival, requesting and reserving a deluxe spot. A week before arrival I called to add an additional night, and it was made very clear we HAD to be there before dark, they DO NOT park people after dark.
Enroute to the campground, I was called 3 times! Twice to ask where I was, and once to ask where my family members were that we were camping with. We traveled from 5 hours out, leaving our home at 1:30. I was scolded for being there almost too late and that I COULD NOT park my trailer without the afterhours crew. I asked for my site number, I was hesitantly given it, but not without being reminded that “I COULD NOT park my trailer alone, so it didn’t matter what site I was in”. I was not in the deluxe site I had paid for and reserved, the reply I received was “ yeah, that happens a lot, we move people around all the time”. Upon arrival, the gentleman that parked us was so helpful and kind.
The park is a two sided park. The side with the cabins, yurts and pull through sites is very clean and well managed. The other side of the park is a mix of long term campers, storage sheds, boat/rv storage and weekend campers. Maintenance on this side of the park is not a priority, clearly. The weeds are over grown with glass in the camp site divider. The long term people are questionable and the gentleman parked behind us had cameras on his trailer that faced our campsite! You pay 50 dollars a night to camp here and have to pay to use their showers. There are 2 ways to the water, the first is straight down a steep cliff and the second is behind a gate. So, if you have kayaks, rafts or anything of that nature you have to lug it to the river, never is the gate unlocked.
The icing on the cake was when we went to pay the bill! My husband was told if he used his credit card he would receive a 3% service fee and that our “late fee” for arriving at 7:30pm had been removed. I will never visit this park again.
Crescent City, California, offers a fantastic selection of RV camping options surrounded by stunning natural beauty, including the majestic redwoods and picturesque coastline.
