Best RV Parks & Resorts near King Range National Conservation Area
Several RV parks located along the Redwood Highway and Avenue of the Giants provide full hookup access for motorhome travelers visiting King Range. Shelter Cove Campground offers 103 RV sites with water, sewer, and electric hookups, though the approach road presents challenges. "Shelter Cove is a must see - a very unique community. The RV Park is really just a large dirt lot that has likely seen better days, but it is a great location and well worth spending some time here," noted one camper about the coastal location. Giant Redwoods RV Destination in Myers Flat provides big-rig friendly sites with both water and electric hookups, while Benbow KOA accommodates larger RVs with full hookup sites including 50-amp service. Richardson Grove RV Park maintains 28 dedicated RV sites with pull-through options and three-way hookups.
The drive to these campgrounds requires careful navigation, particularly the final approach to Shelter Cove with its steep, winding 7-mile stretch. During summer months, especially around July 4th, reservations become essential as parks reach capacity. Dump stations are available at most established RV parks in the region, though Ancient Redwoods RV Park operates seasonally from May through October. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with one reviewer noting "excellent WiFi, weak Verizon and no AT&T service" at Giant Redwoods. Several parks feature on-site markets for basic supplies, and most accommodate pets with designated dog areas. Winter camping remains available at select locations including Richardson Grove RV Park and Stafford RV Park, both operating year-round with full hookups.
