Plenty of room for all RV’s large to small. 30 & 50 amp power and water. Clean restrooms, heated and free. Many long term residents. The spots are level, it felt safe enough. Quiet. Close to Ferndale, which is Must See. Access from Fernbridge of of 101 as the other roads are very twisty for all but the smallest RVs. Camp host was great! Short drive into Eureka. Patriot Gas has a car wash for big rigs. Not really a photogenic campground. Very open area surrounded by fields with cows, farms and trees in the distance. Used the RV dump as I left. It’s by far the worst RV dump that I’ve used. It works, but needs a complete rebuild. I suggest requesting a spot with full hookups.
GuideI stayed here twice for a total of eight days. Many long-term Residents give the place a seedy feeling. Ultimately it is safe and secure. And well managed. The bathroom is clean, heated, free showers and the combination is changed weekly. Large grassy area with good spacing between most RVs. I was in the middle of the campground for short term parking. Because of recent rains and some soggy areas I had to overnight campers close to me. 30 amp and 50 amp power and water at each side. The largest downside to this place is the RV dump station inside the fairgrounds. It’s the worst one that I’ve ever used. It needs to be completely rebuilt. No ultimately it did work. Great location to the picturesque town of Ferndale California. Also a convenient location for exploring the Lost Coast area. 12 miles away from Eureka California which has a Costco and Patriot gas station on the south end of town has a car wash that can accommodate RVs.

Beautiful RV park, nestled amongst redwoods, is clean and well-maintained. Staff was very friendly. Close to downtown Trinidad (though most things were closed due to COVID-19). Close to the ocean and lots of walking trails around. Only problem was cable issues. We changed sites once early on, but that didn't really help, though we were able to get one DISH satellite through a gap in the trees. Our site had 30A, full hook-up service. WI-FI was generally ok. They have laundry and showers, though we had our own. Little store for general needs in park, but small grocery store in town. I suggest visiting or ordering from The Larrupin, a restaurant just two minutes down the road. Very good food and service. We ordered curbside pickup since there was no dine-in due to COVID. We would love to go back to Trinidad when all of this is over and would definitely consider staying again at Emerald Forest.
TravelerPlus side is that it’s very close to downtown & camp host was great. Lots of old rundown RVs and junk lying around. Good for an overnight stop but would not stay long term.
Traveler
Park was mostly empty and very quiet. Plenty of full and partial RV hookups (generators are not allowed) and tent spots. Very clean facilities and well maintained. Friendly staff. Walking distance to the river and has a small enclosed dog run. Excellent WiFi. Weak Verizon and no AT&T service.
Traveler
Manager was extremely nice and the long terms stays locals are friendly. However, the park itself needs major upkeep.
Traveler
En route Phone GPS was not reliable, luckily they have a big sign. Check in was ok, family run business and the office was a mess. Small store carries some essentials. You have to drive through several long term older Travel trailers that look like they have been there for years. I camped at site 28, which was actually a group site. It was great to have a large unoccupied area to one side, but the other side had an unoccupied long term TT that stunk like rotten fish. It was so bad we never put out our patio rug, or cooked outside. Across the way was a clean small pool which was very nice. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the loop, and walking down to the Trinity River. There are 2 river spots from the campground. Both are scenic, only one is safe to enter the water and that spot had a very small river rock spot to set up a couple chairs. If you are tent camping or in a smaller RV, their are some better sites that are further away from the permanent old Travel Trailers closet to the entrance. If you are there over a weekend they do have a very large outdoor laser tag area. They technically do have a free Wi Fi, however it is very weak, almost nonexistent. Verizon had no cell coverage.
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.

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
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.
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!
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.
GuideWhat a wonderful RV park. Quiet except for the very occasional road noise during the day, extremely quiet at night, very well kept up, friendly hosts, and very nice sites. The options here run the gamut from tent sites, cabins, W/E hookups and even some full hookups with sewer. They also have a dump station, bathrooms/laundry (currently closed due to the pandemic), volleyball, horseshoes, river access and more. Myers Flat is a small town with a tiny grocery/deli but not a ton more.
If you’re coming in along 101, take the Avenue of the Giants if you have some extra time. You’ll end up right in Myers Flat and see some amazing forests along the way.
We’ll be back for sure.
GuideOnly stayed one night. They are very busy. Probably would’ve stayed one more night, but our site was already booked. Great little store with supplies, friendly staff, full hook ups.
GuideNot a horrible place. Wish we had stayed at the state park just up the street. The road coming into the park is just kinda sketchy- not the park’s fault. The park is clean and restrooms are clean. There did appear to be some folks that may be a bit long term which is always a bit of a turnoff for me. Overall not terrible but something just a bit off here.
Traveler
Wow. Don’t be fooled this is not the great place in the description. This place is very out dated. Don’t get me wrong it looked like a cool spot 30 years ago. The water is brown in your camp spot and at the motel. There are a lot of permanent residents and long term campers that have junked up there premium back ins. Dean’s was very quit but I don’t think I will return to this dump till they do a major overhaul!!!

if you're looking for a get away with lonely, beautiful long stretches of beach wide expanses of stillwater and plenty of wildlife viewing come to the North Coast of California's Big Lagoon County campground. Part of the largest lagoon system in the country, the Humboldt Lagoons State Park has many treasures to explore. Dubbed "A String of Pearls", Big Lagoon is the largest of three natural "wet" lagoons and one Dry Lagoon. The county campground is located on its shore. Most of the campsites have views of the lagoon and the dunes on its opposite shore.
Guests will awaken to the sounds of crashing waves in the distance and maybe the chirping of osprey or squawking if great blue heron nearby. Launch of personal watercraft such as paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, sailboats or even catamarans can be done foot steps away from the campsites. The temperature of the Lagoon can get warm enough to swim in, even up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available during the summer months at the boat launch area though Kayak Trinidad, outfitter. I don't believe there are RV hookups at this Campground.
Wildlife viewing is wonderful at this location at it as it is a resting place for migratory birds along with their route on the Pacific Flyway. There is also a resident heard of Roosevelt elk that frequents the brackish marsh areas to the east where Maple Creek drains into the lagoon. Agate hunting is a favorite at the beach nearby, but visitors must be aware that the ocean conditions on this beach are treacherous and should never approach the wave slope.
Traveler
This RV park was really nice. A little freeway noise but not enough to detract. Nice store. RV sites have trees and grass and picnic tables and aren’t super close together. Tent sites looked decent sized. Seemed like a lot of RVs but saw very few people. Grounds are very pretty.

This was our first time trying out a casino parking lot to stay in, and it was a nice treat to be able to walk from the RV to dinner. The casino has some good restaurants in it, and there are other options within walking distance as well. The casino has their own brewery, which was very cool, and the beer was delicious.
The casino has you join their club in order to be able to park here for the night. Membership is free and easy to sign up- and you get some cool swag as well: a deck of cards, $20 worth of gambling money, and most exciting to us: a redwood tree starter kit! This last one might just be limited time for Earth Day though.
The casino is currently open with limited capacity, and your temperature is checked at the door. The restaurants inside offer in house dining, and the guests were seated at tables far apart from each other, and all the staff had masks on.
One downside: this casino had several semi trucks parking in the RV area, so the engine noise of them coming and going made it sound a bit like a truck stop. However, it was really quiet overnight.
There’s also a gas station on site, and they have bulk propane at $2.89/gal as well. The use of the dump is only for RVs staying overnight. There are trash bins but we didn’t see any recycling bins. Keep in mind this is sovereign land and not California State land, so some things that are legal in California (i.e. marijuana) are not legal on casino property. Good wifi from the casino reached all the way back to the RV parking area, which was a surprise. Good T-Mobile, ATT, and Verizon reception as well.

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.
Guide
Beautiful setting, most sites are under the redwoods. We did see elk in areas nearby, but not in the campground. We were there in a small travel trailer. There was no place to fill with water (bring your water bandit). And there is no dump station, the one at Patrick’s Point State Park is also closed. We were told to go to Emerald Forest RV to dump for $20 if you are in an RV you may want to consider a private RV Park for the price
TravelerWe were very disappointed with this park. The staff were friendly enough at check in, but after I settled into our spot, the sewer hookup was on a 45 degree angle and twisted (and seemingly glued in place) so it was running parallel to the ground, plus the cap was not removable. We paid for a full hook-up and got no sewer. They have a dump station so for a one night stay we were ok. During the evening, the noise from adjacent properties was loud music similar to what you might expect from a bar. The parking pads were sharp angled gravel and the tables were dirty as if never cleaned (which in the COVID times we are in, is inexcusable). When we pulled out, we did use the dump station which seemed very nice and easy to use. While at the station, we observed two different campers punch a code in the bathroom doors and enter, do their business and return to their sites. When we finished up, my wife wanted to use a bathroom, so we stopped at the office to use their's or get a code for the ones by the dump station. The staff refused to let us, saying "you have a toilet in your trailer don't you?" My wife responded to say we just dumped the tanks and they said too bad, they don't allow use of their restrooms in COVID. Inappropriate when considering other patrons using them, and the unclean shape of the campsite. Never for us again!
GuideThe Avenue of the Giants Redwood Highway has always been one of my all time favorite places!
I recently camped at the Giant Redwood RV park and it didn’t disappoint!
Although it was early August, we were lucky enough to find half the campground empty and the weather was perfect!
This little gem is a short walk down to the sandy beach on the Eel River and has a few giant redwoods in the campground to marvel over!
There was electric and water hook up and a dump station only. The campsites are gravel but there was grassy areas around us.
The owners are very nice and they have a small store there also.
My only complaints are that the street you have to drive down is not very pleasant. It had a broken trailer on the side of the road that appeared to be there a very long time, among other unpleasant sights! Once you get through the gated area to the park, it’s lovely and you feel secure but going down that street was sad.
Although I shower in my rv, I decided to use the one there so I could avoid filling my gray water tank. It was a nice shower but there was only the one in the restroom near me. They could use a few more showers!
All and all, we loved it there and will be returning another time!
Travelerthe campground was nice except for the bathrooms which were dirty no matter what time of day. not sure how they got a 10 on Good Sam
Guide
Nice RV park, everything was clean park, bathrooms and showers as well as a good wifi signal. Area is not the safest, alot of homeless people, very sad. Walked to the Carson Mansion and Target which had a large grocery section. Felt safe in park.
TravelerWe rented an RV and discovered we couldn’t fit down the narrow roads to the campsite we planned for. Praying for plan B we drove back to this RV park we saw from the road. Thankfully they had space for us. We learned about the roaming Elk herd that passed right through the camp. The camp host made clear the Elk were NOT domesticated in any way. Our site was a comfortable distance from neighbor vehicles, included a picnic table and fire ring. Had a beautiful coastal foggy sunrise on the meadow which have clear views in all directions. Friendly neighbors, clean bathrooms and showers (bring quarters). Hook ups were in good condition. Visited nearby state park and beaches. Elk herd arrived the next day, slowly making themselves at home amongst the campers. The meadow, the elk herd, friendly people, good campground…. was probably our favorite stay that week.
LegendWe like this little county campground- it’s FCFS only (it seems that early afternoon is the best time to snag a spot). We got the last spot when we arrived that we would fit in in our 26ft class C (there were some tent sites still available). There’s a loop that’s kind of tricky for RVs to navigate, though people will still do it, and other sites outside of the loop that are better suited for RVs. There are a couple of sites at either end of the loop that would work for RVs as well. There are also 2 sites with electric hookups that are $10 extra.
You self-register at the bathroom, $30/night. Kind of pricey for what you get, but it’s a cute and mellow little park and it’s got a pleasant vibe, very beautiful surroundings.
There are flush toilets and showers that we did not use. The road in to the campground is through some residential neighborhoods, but still relatively easy access from the main road. I wouldn’t recommend this campground for giant rigs.
Eureka, California, offers a variety of RV camping options that cater to different preferences and needs, making it a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
