    Lacks Creek BLM

    Great spot!!

    Camped here for one night mid September, slept in a car, great view and found the 3 spacious camping spots with a picnic table, fire pit (with a grill rack), and an unsmelly bathroom a short walk away. On the way up, I think I took a wrong term but got to the spots anyways? I took a left at sign with the offices of some sort (thinking it was the camp ground entrance) and then took a few more turns and eventually found the place. There was only one other person also camping. The road wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, it took me about forty minutes to find the camp grounds from the bottom of the hill to the top. There were narrow moments in the road but plenty of larger two lane spaces. I have a 2014 Subaru crosstrek and it did just fine getting up. I would definitely Return!

    Mill Creek Campground — Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park

    Del Norte Coastal Redwood SP

    This area is beautiful and well worth a visit, but the campground needs some attention. 2 mile entrance road was paved but not in good condition. Site 42 was small for our 16’ft trailer and lots of mosquitoes in late summer. Campground is very wooded with lots of great hikes nearby.

    Aikens Creek Recreation Area

    Aikens Creek Dispersed

    Seems to have been a legit National Forrest campground that is no longer maintained. But it still has camp sites and a little further in there is dispersed very close to the river. It was secluded and great.

    Secluded (but with chamber toilet)

    This is a beautiful campground, though not the best roads to access. We were the only people here on Labor Day weekend

    Heart of the redwoods base camp

    Easy in and out. Small number of sites. Right off the 101. Full hook ups. Numerous trails located within 5 miles of site. Took our dog.

    Elk Country RV Resort & Campground

    Cool spot for a night

    Not bad for an RV park! It’s super close to everything you wanna see on the 101 and the area is beautiful.


Guide to Hoopa

Camping near Hoopa, California, offers a unique blend of stunning natural beauty and outdoor adventures. With lush forests, scenic trails, and the majestic redwoods nearby, it’s a great spot for families and solo adventurers alike.

What to do:

  • Explore the Redwoods: The towering trees of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park are a must-see. One visitor shared, “This campground is about the location. It is nestled right in the state park w/old growth redwood trees and hikes accessible directly from the campground.”
  • Beach Activities: Head to Gold Bluffs Beach Campground for some fun in the sun. A reviewer noted, “It’s right on the beach, beautiful campground, very simple. It’s right next to fern canyon.”
  • Wildlife Watching: Keep an eye out for elk and other wildlife. One camper mentioned, “When we pulled in the herd was on the property,” highlighting the unique experience of seeing elk up close.

What campers like:

  • Scenic Views: Campers rave about the beautiful surroundings. A visitor at Elk Prairie Campground said, “The prairie itself was really beautiful especially at dusk.”

  • Proximity to Trails: Campgrounds like Emerald Forest Cabins & RV are close to hiking trails. A happy camper noted, “The bathrooms were clean and showers had nice warm water.”

What you should know:

  • Tight Spaces: Some campgrounds can be cramped, especially for larger RVs. A reviewer mentioned, “It is very tight, which is difficult for anyone with a larger trailer.”
  • Limited Amenities: Not all campgrounds have full amenities. For example, at Gold Bluffs Beach Campground, “There is no market, no electric hookups, and no showers.”
  • Reservations Recommended: Many campgrounds fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons. One camper advised, “I would reserve a spot,” to ensure you have a place to stay.

  • Choose Family-Friendly Campgrounds: Look for spots like Elk Country RV Resort & Campground where families can enjoy the outdoors together. A parent shared, “Elk wander around the campground and in the meadow,” making it a fun experience for kids.
  • Plan for Activities: Bring games and outdoor activities to keep the kids entertained. One family mentioned, “We kept them a safe distance and followed the campgrounds rules and precautions about being near elk.”
  • Pack Snacks: Since some campgrounds are remote, it’s wise to bring plenty of food. A camper noted, “Bring all the yummy foods you want… you’re not going to be near a grocery store.”

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: Before booking, make sure your RV fits the site. A reviewer at Big Lagoon County Park warned, “If you have a rig over 20ft, think twice before coming down this road.”
  • Be Prepared for Tight Turns: Some campgrounds have narrow roads. One RV traveler advised, “When in doubt, walk it out before you head in.”
  • Bring Cash: Many campgrounds only accept cash or checks. A visitor at Clam Beach County Park mentioned, “Need to pay in cash or check, no cc.”
