What to do
River access activities: Visitors staying at Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination have direct access to the Eel River. "Our site backed up to the Eel river with Giants redwoods everywhere. The grounds were super clean and quiet. Just hung out at the beach the whole time," notes Randy J. from Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination.
Tide pool exploration: Cabin accommodations at Sue-meg State Park provide convenient beach access for tide pool viewing. "Beautiful views and tide pools to explore," says Kelli D. from Agate Campground — Sue-meg State Park.
Wildlife viewing: Fields Landing cabin rentals offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. "We saw so many animals: elk, a bear, scrub jays, chipmunks, tadpoles, rabbits, deer, etc. We were able to hike a bunch on the campground (very accessible), drive to Fern Canyon, and visit Jedediah Smith all in 3 days," reports gisselle from Elk Prairie Campground.
Redwood hiking: Multiple cabin locations provide access to hiking trails through redwood groves. "The redwoods make great cover and dampen the distance sound travels," notes Kate A. about trails near cabins at Emerald Forest.
What campers like
Cabin amenities: Most cabin rentals near Fields Landing feature specific heating systems appropriate for the coastal climate. "The electric fireplace was a nice touch to the cabin and it warmed the space up enough, we never needed to use the HVAC system," reports Jess I. from Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination.
Site spacing: Some cabin properties offer more privacy than others. "The sites on that loop are set up in a way that everyone has a private tree cubby so it didn't feel like you were camping by a bunch of people," writes Nina M. about Elk Prairie Campground — Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.
Communal facilities: Cabin guests appreciate on-site recreational areas. "Additionally there is a Video Arcade, Horseshoe pit, dog park, celebration hall with board games/puzzles, a mini mart, playground, gazebo, and multiple bath/shower houses and laundry facilities," notes Cameron B. about Emerald Forest Cabins & RV.
Seasonal events: Some cabin properties host special activities during peak seasons. "They periodically have special events during the weekends. We lucked out with live music and wine tastings," reports Cameron B. about the events at Emerald Forest Cabins & RV.
What you should know
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects certain cabin locations. "My husband wanted to give one star. I'm giving three. It wasn't completely awful. First, divide the campground in two. The Hwy 101 side & the Patrick Point Road side. You don't want the Hwy 101 side. It's noisy. VERY noisy. PPR side is the better bet," advises Cynthia K. about site selection at Emerald Forest.
Reservation policies: Some cabin providers have strict rules about reservation changes. "The most frustrating part was reservations. The website showed only tent sites with water and electricity. I then clicked on military discount and the website showed me a higher price," reports Lawrence L. about Redwood Coast Cabins & RV Resort.
Water quality issues: Cabin guests should note water conditions at certain properties. "We ended up not using the laundry - they are $2 each for washer and dryer (they take quarters, and there's no change machine), with a sign saying that your clothes may stain due to the iron in the water," warns Laura M. about water at Stafford RV Park.
Pet restrictions: Cabin rentals have varying pet policies. "A little turned off my religious messages on the signage outside, instructions to dress 'modestly' and a long list of dog breeds not allowed," notes Timothy P. about restrictions at Stafford RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Families appreciate dedicated play areas at cabin properties. "Children's play area was nice. Grassy areas needed mowing. Dog area had agility items for the dogs," notes Jenni C. about amenities at Redwood Coast Cabins & RV Resort.
Kid-friendly activities: Several cabin locations offer specialized facilities for children. "There's a cute general store for general supplies... Hot showers available with outlets to recharge phones, use hairdryers, etc. 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. about Sylvan Harbor RV Park & Cabins.
Family campfire areas: Several cabin properties provide communal fire pits. "This is one of the few places we camped at that we were allowed to have a campfire," mentions Cynthia K. about fire access at Emerald Forest.
Educational opportunities: Family-friendly ranger programs enhance cabin stays. "We enjoyed proximity to trails and other parks, along with the ranger talks each night," shares K.K. about educational activities at Elk Prairie Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: RVers using cabin facilities for tow vehicles should note leveling issues. "Sites are tight and not level side to side. But clean and adequate with FHU," reports mary F. about Redcrest Resort.
Site access for trailers: Some cabin areas have challenging entrance routes. "Well shaded campground, but with tight turns and smallish sites relatively close together. Even with a small (16') camper, we had to unhitch to fit," warns Patrick M. about site access at Elk Prairie Campground.
Cabin alternatives: RVers have noted that some properties offer cabins as alternatives during inclement weather. "On top of RV sites (I think all of them have full hookups for at least 30 amp) they have some cute little bungalows and a grassy area for tent campers too," notes Jesse E. about options at Redcrest Resort.
