"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.

TravelerWe absolutely love this campground. It’s a bit nostalgic for me. I came here when I was young with my parents in the early 90’s. They allowed tents back then. Now they have cabins and RV sites with full hookups. The movie theater is just how I remember it and access to the river can’t be beat. Site C and E are one of our favorite sites. We have also stayed at site 40 recently.
ScoutIf you’re in a pinch it’s alright. We booked online and showed up to check in and the office was closed. We heard from others that the owner hasn’t been seen in over 2 months. Dog poop is overflowing out of trash cans, all the grass is dead, and it honestly seems like it has been forgotten about. It has decent bathrooms, showers, and a laundry room, if you can get the codes. But overall not well managed or clean.
GuideI have Verizon and had no bars so I’m on Starlink. It’s not the best, but how do you complain about free places? Little overgrown, spots in the back are closer to the creek but the road gets rougher. Picnic tables some in better condition than others.
TravelerSuper pretty and nice big spots. The water is so clear and not too cold. Staff were helpful and friendly.
GuideSuper beautiful and nice bathrooms. Showers were great but bathroom stall doors didn’t always lock. Fire pit and nice bear box
ScoutLeave while you can, management does nothing and screams through walki talkis. They like to change their policies after a problem happens so it looks like they were in the right. BEWARE OF KIMBERLY (very unhappy female in charge) even though you won’t run into her because she sits on the property all day and does nothing (:
GuideThis place first off is 45min to an hour from 101. Secondly it rained all night and my RTT is soaked. Once I took the rain fly down it was bad. Needless to say trying to get to a dry place to allow my tent to dry. I will say I absolutely love Offroad and this is a forest service road that goes up the mountain. Great place if it’s not raining and you don’t plan on sleeping in your RTT in the rain. I’ve never left a bad review but If I could give this 0 stars I would.
GuideWe completely forgot to make a reservation as we figured it would be FCFS. The nice ranger said there was a spot open and we snagged it. Beautiful campground where you can see elk, if you’re lucky. Pretty chilly and misty in the mornings. Fern wall was included in your stay which was a great bonus. Firewood for sale and bear boxes available. Showers were warm but semi clean and there were flushing toilets. Cell service is there but not great.
GuideI don’t know what it is with the state of California and charging people a lot of money and not allowing showers. I tried to take a shower and it wants quarters and the office is closed so I can’t get quarters. Who walks around with bags of quarters anymore? I don’t think people have a right to charge this much money for such an inconvenience.

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.
