    Redwood Coast Cabins & RV Resort

    Great family stop

    We stopped through while passing Eureka on our way north and we’re so happy that we did! The cabins are cute and charming (be prepared, no kitchen) and the grounds clean.

    Mystic Forest RV Park

    Family-owned RV park

    General: 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.

    Jedidiah Smith Campground — Redwood National Park

    Beautiful campgrounds!

    Cash 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!

    Redwood Meadows RV Resort

    Prime location

    We 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.

    Cher-ere Bridge Camp Site

    Cool Spot

    Pretty nice campground with a fire pit and picnic table. very spacious and private lots of room away from other campers. Bathrooms were good and had a shower. Camp host was nice he sold us some fire wood. Only reason i did not give it 5 stars was the surrounding area and town. Not much out there at all and run down town. I would stay here again.

    Jedidiah Smith Campground — Redwood National Park

    Great spot on a river

    This campground has lush green trees, a flowing rice and the good smells of a campground. It is pet friendly and has a good system of paths through the campsites but still affords privacy.

    Elk Prairie Campground — Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park

    Redwoods & Ocean: California's best

    I highly recommend this location - what could be better than camping in the redwoods, with elk grazing in the meadow right next to your camp!

    Sites were decent sized for our 2 tents, surrounded by trees and bushes offering some privacy so you don’t feel like you are right on top of your neighbors. Very clean bathrooms, decent showers, picnic tables, fire pits. You are expected to keep your site ‘crumb clean’ and will be provided with instruction about that.

    The only downside is that it can get very damp at night – which made it seem a little colder and had a lot of tent condensation.

    There are many wonderful hikes in the area – love it when you can get forest and ocean on the same trail! Normally I don’t like hearing other people’s campground music, but whoever was singing vespers it was beautiful. Slept peacefully to sounds of the creek running by our site.

    The visitor center was good and gave us a lot of useful information. The ranger even came around to let us know of local events.

    Redwood Meadows RV Resort

    Great Northern CA Redwood Spot

    Great location in heart of Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park with easy access to the Smith River. Very clean and medium spacious RV sites. We stayed in the C loop and had our own picnic table and fire ring. Host was able to get two spots next to each other so our two trailers were together. Price was very reasonable.
