Several cabin options near Fort Dick provide comfortable, sheltered accommodations in the coastal redwood region. Alfred A. Loeb State Park offers cabins with river views and furnished amenities, while Redwood Meadows RV Resort features cabin apartments with kitchen facilities and proximity to Smith River. "The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River. If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect," noted one visitor about the Loeb State Park cabins. Jedidiah Smith Campground in Redwood National Park provides rustic cabins with basic furnishings in a setting surrounded by ancient redwoods.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when occupancy rates are highest. Pet policies vary significantly between properties—Alfred A. Loeb State Park cabins are noted in reviews as not allowing pets, while other properties may accommodate animals with additional fees. Cabins at Harris Beach State Park include three pet-friendly yurt options. A camper mentioned that "One thing I found weird was the yurt only had a code and no key, we found it frustrating using a code to go in and out every time."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic fire rings with outdoor cooking areas to more equipped setups with refrigerators and microwaves. On-site camp stores at locations like Mystic Forest RV Park and Redwood Meadows provide basic supplies and firewood. Cabins at Village Camper Inn RV Park and Ramblin' Redwoods Campground include picnic tables and fire pits for outdoor meal preparation. Proximity to Crescent City (approximately 15-25 minutes from most cabins) allows access to larger grocery stores and supplies.
"Coin operated hot showers for $0.50 to start the shower for 2 min, $0.25 to add minutes up to a 12 min max. Each campsite had a fire ring, a picnic table, and a bearbox."
"It is pet friendly and has a good system of paths through the campsites but still affords privacy."

TravelerHave stayed at Loeb many times over the past 37 years -- tent camping, cabin camping, and now tent-trailering -- and it has been fun every time.
The showers are great. Short walk to the super-clean Chetco River for swimming and salamander-camping. Twenty minute drive to the ocean beaches. Good hosts. Fun watching kids ride their bikes around and around. Grassy park-lawn section for croquet or bocce ball.
LegendThis is mostly an RV Park and cabin rentals but there are 4 tent spots right on the beach that are phenomenal. You feel like you have your own place on the beach. You do have to walk your stuff there but it’s totally worth it. The first night was great but the second night was a torrential downpour that woke us up. Definitely hit or miss with rain but absolutely a great find. They have large family yurts and cabins to get away from the rain but these tent sites are my favorite!
GuideMy family and I got a Yurt here and enjoyed this park. One thing I found weird was the yurt only had a code and no key, we found it frustrating using a code to go in and out every time. It is a very large park so make sure you have a park map(I’ll add one with the pictures). The privacy is kind of there, you can still hear your neighbors, but can get privacy while on your porch. Tent sites had very little privacy like most coast places. There are only 3 pet friendly yurts so keep that in mind. There are playgrounds, and other places to do activities. There are also multiple quick ways to the beach. Showers are locker room style and are segregated male and female. One negative I saw was they don’t really prioritize cleanliness there.
GuideGood spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees
LegendGeneral: RV sites with water and electric hookups plus tent sites and what looked like a cabin located along Route 101 in northern California not too far from the Oregon border. Although located right on the highway, the RV sites are tucked far enough back that road noise is not an issue. We had our choice of assigned site (13) or one of the few other available sites. We ended up taking Site 19, one of the other choices so that our van door would not open directly into the slide out of the RV in the next site.
Site Quality: Sites are on grass with no defined camper pads. Sites 15-21 are a little wonky in that the hookups are on the left side; we were able to thread our electric cord underneath our van to reach them. Most but not all sites had picnic tables (ours did not but we were just passing through for one night so not a big deal). As is typical of RV parks, sites are close together with little to no separation between them. We chose Site 19 because it had trees on one side, providing us with partial privacy.
Bath/Shower House: Two stalls and two showers – both were very clean but did not use the shower so cannot comment on how well it worked.
Activities/Amenities: Laundry (main reason in addition to the convenient location we booked this RV park). You reserve a time and then get the key from the office. There is an 18-hole mini golf course, but it looked quite worn so we passed. There are horseshoe pits and a swing set. There is also a small store with gifts and other basic sundries.
Patrick and Maya are new owners since April 2023, and we were greeted very warmly by Patrick. Later while doing laundry, I had a nice conversation with Maya. They live on-site with their two young children and the store/office is open 9 am– 9 pm. Honestly, this is why I gave this place 4 stars. This was a good overnight stay for us and worked well for us to catch up on laundry while at our campsite.
RangerStayed in a cabin and it was beautiful. The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River.
If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect. Fire ring and table are provided as well.
Well worth the price.
GuideCash or check only, $35/night. On-site host sells firewood for $10/bundle. Coin operated hot showers for $0.50 to start the shower for 2 min, $0.25 to add minutes up to a 12 min max.
Each campsite had a fire ring, a picnic table, and a bearbox. There were several running water bathroom buildings around the campgrounds.
The spots near the river were filled by the time we got there but there was a small path to get down there and it was gorgeous. The forest growth was beautiful and it was nice and quiet at night. Over 100 campsites to choose from and it was nicely maintained. Would love to stay here again!
TravelerWe tent camped on a platform for two days. Not my cup of tea, but a compromise for my teenager. The spaces are tight together. The platform is huge. The fire pit for tent site 5 is right next to where you park parallel to your site. The bathrooms are cleaned twice daily, just be ready to flush. The park has sensitive toilets. We didn't use the showers as there was a line frequently. Although this place is right on the highway the noise is not too noticeable and quiet later in the evening. The gazebo with a sink and running water was a nice touch, sitting right next to a cute pond. Cell service for Verizon was spotty in the park but worked at the mini Mart. The wifi does work but not when everyone is in there campsites using it.
The location of this park is absolutely perfect. The redwoods are right down the road. Crescent City is super close for beach adventures. A short drive up the road for a river day. The cherry on top is the mini Mart at the entrance for ice and other items.
Would definitely stay here again.
GuideWe stayed one night here during a trip down the Oregon coast. We have a 37' TT, it was a little tight trying to back in, our neighbor across from us was gracious enough to move his truck. The sites themselves are very spacious, with a picnic table and fire pit. The sites were surrounded by blackberry bushes which was cool.
We did not use the bathrooms, but the park and the outside of the facilities all looked clean, and they also had cabins available near the river, which was so peaceful!
Cabin camping in the Fort Dick area of Northern California sits in a coastal temperate rainforest zone, receiving about 70 inches of annual rainfall. Positioned just 9 miles north of Crescent City, this region serves as a gateway to old-growth redwood forests and coastal attractions. Cabins here range from rustic forest accommodations to river-view structures, typically priced between $65-125 per night depending on season and amenities.
Smith River exploration: The Smith River near Redwood Meadows RV Resort offers excellent fishing and swimming opportunities. "The Smith River is close by as well," notes a reviewer who appreciated the convenient river access from this location.
Redwood hiking trails: Multiple short trails connect directly from Ramblin' Redwoods Campground to surrounding forest areas. A visitor mentioned, "There are couple great trails through Redwoods. We were there during COVID and forest fires so most activities were closed."
Tidepooling at nearby beaches: Ocean exploration is just a short drive away. According to a Harris Beach visitor: "During low tide, you can explore the tide pools. We saw hundreds of hermit crabs, anemone, starfish, sculpin, and more."
Horseback riding excursions: Some cabins provide access to guided trail rides. A reviewer at Redwood Meadows mentioned: "We drove Howland hill road and did short hikes and did a horseback ride up into the redwoods with Crescent Trail rides."
Private cabin settings: Many cabins offer seclusion despite proximity to facilities. At Mystic Forest RV Park, a guest noted: "We had spot #7 and it was tucked in some redwood. The owners were friendly and helpful. Had maps to several spots near by to check out."
River views: Cabins with water views rank consistently high in reviews. At Alfred A. Loeb State Park, a camper appreciated that "The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River. If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect. Fire ring and table are provided as well."
Helpful staff: Management at cabin facilities frequently receive positive mentions. According to one Redwood Meadows visitor: "Management was extremely helpful, polite, and accommodating. We were lucky to have a beautiful and secluded site."
Central location for regional exploration: Cabins serve as bases for exploring multiple parks. A reviewer at Redwood Meadows noted: "Perfect location in heart of Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park with easy access to the Smith River. Very clean and medium spacious RV sites."
Reservation timing considerations: Securing cabin reservations requires advance planning. A visitor to Jedidiah Smith Campground mentioned: "This campground is a very popular spot, located on the north side of the Redwoods National and State Parks. The sites are decently sized, accommodating two to three tents, but the roads would be tough to navigate in a large RV or with a long trailer."
Shower facilities vary widely: Some locations offer free showers while others charge. A camper at Jedidiah Smith noted: "Heated, tile bathrooms with hot water and coin-op showers (25 cents a minute) are a luxury."
