Reservations are recommended for private RV parks and cabins, while county facilities like Samoa Boat Ramp operate primarily on a first-come, first-served basis. "This campground is essentially a paved parking lot with numbered stalls. It sits about 200 yards from the BLM Samoa Sand Dunes, which is the main attraction. The wind can get pretty bad as this site sits between the ocean and Humbolt Bay, so be prepared for that."
Several visitors highlight proximity to natural attractions as a primary benefit of camping in this area.

ScoutCampsites 71 - 75 are not shaded, cramped, and are isolated from the rest of the campsites. My neighbor camped maybe 10 feet away from me. I recommend to book the other campsites if they are available
GuideHuge campsites, mowed grass instead of dirt, and coin-operated showers were a big plus. On a summer weekend the place wasn’t 25% occupied. Very well maintained.
GuideEmerald Forest Cabins and RV Park located in Trinidad, California is THE spot to set up camp while visiting Redwoods National Park. This campground let's you camp within the sleeping Giants that are known as Coastal Redwoods. Located right off 101 you get easy access to Redwoods National Park as well as many beaches. My favorite is the Trinidad beach located less than 5 minutes up the road.
RangerAfter a 2 week road trip and no laundry left we wanted to stay somewhere a little “nicer” for our last few days and do some laundry.
This place is amazing! The sites, the view, location, organization of it. It was so great we stayed a second night.
Bathrooms/showers very clean, they have a dog park, very very close to sue meg state park (one of my favorites), and a store where you can get anything you need.
Trinidad is a very cute down and about 5 miles down the road
ONLY thing I didn’t like was laundry is $4.75 each washing cycle and $3.00 to dry… that’s insane to me. (Bring quarters) or front desk can help you.
1st night we stayed at spot 14: your pretty close to neighbors but we still enjoyed it.
2nd night we snagged spot 7: SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS and way more privacy. If you can get one of the ocean view spots- do it. (spot 8 looked like the best one)
ScoutWater is tucked behind restrooms. Would have been impossible had there been cars parked in the spaces. Long hose suggested.
ScoutMy boyfriend and brother and I spent the evening restoring an old campsite we found. we put lots of love into this place.
amazing view of the ocean and sunset was crazy beautiful!!
follow titlow hill road until you get to a fork in the road with 3 roads and a take a left. follow it up past the cell tower and drive until you reach 2 pullouts close together where the bottom one has a camp fire, park at the top pullout. look for the trail to the right and pretty much bushwash your way to the best campsite ever.
GuideMan, there is nothing like the sound of the wind thru those big ol' redwoods.
I wasn't sure I'd like this spot initially because there is not a lot of privacy between the campsites. Very little foliage, but you are literally under a canopy of redwoods, so that makes up for it!
Bathrooms are easily accessible and clean. First thing this morning, someone was in there mopping.
Visitor center had great gifts and souvenirs. They also sell firewood there for $10 a bundle.
There are gorgeous and super easy trails right across from visitor center. The only one that was "difficult" was the one that goes down to the Eel River. It gets sandy and steep for a bit but it's worth it.
I loved this campground and I hope I can get back here some day!
GuideI was in awe at the campsite (A19). It is very secluded and private and so so so green and lush.
Tons of families stay here it seems (for reasons I'll get to in a bit), so be prepared for lots of kids in bikes and scooters. Everyone was super respectful though come 10pm quiet hours.
They DO NOT take cash for firewood, so being cash OR head into town and pay $11 a bundle at the small grocery store.
Bathrooms were in good shape.
This park is literally on the ocean. There are several trails you can hike thru and one that takes you down to Agate Beach where people were coming thru the rocks to find agates. The trail can be steep and slippery in some spots, so wear good shoes and bring a blanket and a lunch because you won't walk to leave to eat and then walk down the trail again...it's all uphill on the way out.
I cannot wait to stay here again! So beautiful ❤️
RangerI only rated this a 4 just because the sites are kinda close together. However, it’s a perfect location for avenue of the giants. Pet friendly, showers, trails close by.
Camping spots near Fields Landing, California offer varied options for both short and extended stays. The area sits at sea level with coastal wetland surroundings where winter temperatures regularly drop to the 40s overnight, even in summer. Much of the camping in this region centers around small county facilities and RV-oriented sites, with limited tent-only options.
Beach exploration at BLM Samoa Sand Dunes: Located 200 yards from Samoa Boat Ramp County Park, these dunes provide direct shoreline access. "This was my first time driving in sand and now I'm obsessed! Driving right up to the beach and water is something I didn't know I NEEDED to do," reports Taylor in her review.
Explore historic Ferndale: The Victorian architecture of this town is accessible from Humboldt County Fairgrounds, just 7 miles from Fields Landing. "Ferndale is a gorgeous old Victorian town and you are still close to eureka and don't underestimate the safety factor," notes Jerilyn M., who camped there for four nights.
Casino entertainment: For those seeking evening activities, Blue Lake Casino offers gaming and dining options. "The casino has their own brewery, which was very cool, and the beer was delicious," shares Laura M., adding that membership includes perks like "a deck of cards, $20 worth of gambling money, and most exciting to us: a redwood tree starter kit!"
Water views in multiple directions: The waterfront positioning between bay and ocean creates unique vistas. At Samoa Boat Ramp, Mayumi H. notes: "For a boat ramp camping site near town, this place is special. Remote from town but water 360 degrees. You can hear the ocean while looking at the towns across the water."
Affordable overnighting options: Budget-conscious travelers appreciate the low-cost sites in the region. "12$ for tent 25$ for RV. Nice campground, a lot of space. Hot shower present. 5$ for the shower if u do not stay in the camp," reports Oleksii L. about Humboldt County Fairgrounds.
Redwood camping atmosphere: Emerald Forest Cabins & RV provides wooded sites with distinctive coastal forest ambiance. "This is a really cool campground for tent campers. The sights are engulfed by giant redwoods and surrounded by ferns, moss and rainforest," explains Justin, who gave the site five stars.
Site privacy varies significantly: Many campgrounds feature open layouts with minimal separation. At Samoa Boat Ramp, Mitch L. advises: "Good place to sleep, but not a spot you'll want to hang out all day. It's a big parking lot with small campsites on the perimeter. Don't expect a lot of privacy."
Road noise impacts some locations: Highway proximity affects several camping areas. One camper at Clam Beach County Park notes: "3 stars due to proximity to freeway, you can see and hear vehicles; as well as lack of privacy. Also near a local airport, the campground directly under takeoff path."
Facility maintenance inconsistency: Bathroom and shower conditions fluctuate. "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," reports Lawrence L. at Redwood Coast Cabins & RV Resort.
Private campground for redwood experience: The wooded setting at Emerald Forest provides natural playground alternatives. "I've camped here with 14+ high school students and it was great. Safe, protected and not a lot of trouble to get into," shares Kate A., noting "The redwoods make great cover and dampen the distance sound travels."
Consider cabin options: For families wanting comfort with camping proximity, multiple sites offer cabin rentals. "The cabins are cute and charming (be prepared, no kitchen) and the grounds clean," says Rachel A. about Redwood Coast Cabins & RV Resort.
Family-friendly camp hosts: At Wuss Camp, personal attention makes family stays easier. "Great camping for families and dog friendly. The hosts were very nice people and overall was a great experience," reports Raymury P. about this smaller, more personalized camping area.
Free overnight options: RV travelers can find economical stops at select locations. "It is $45 per night. The area is full of cows. It has a nice rural feel. People waved as they passed me walking my dog," explains Theodora G. about Humboldt County Fairgrounds.
RV size considerations: Many area campgrounds have limited large rig access. "We stopped here intending to stay the night on our way north but just couldn't justify spending $30 for a literal parking spot (for RVs)," cautions Laura M. about Clam Beach County Park, adding "I'm not even sure if there would have been room for our slides without going over into the next spot."
Hookup availability: Full-service sites are limited but available. "Stayed in parking lot for an over night stay heading up the coast. Safe, easy, cheep. 14.00 for parking lot around $30 for hook ups in grass area. Cute town," reports Janelle H. after staying at Humboldt County Fairgrounds.
