This campground must be the “first camp out” for so many Northern California kids, at least of my generation. It was the first time my family drove for HOURS (“are we there yet?” And then the result was spectacular. The river vibe, the rope swing, the ancient redwoods, the dappled sunlight, the bbq. And yes, there’s a store nearby in the middle of nowhere to pick up whatever you need.
It really is family-lovely. Your kids will make friends with the others. If you can plan an extended stay, do it!
Recently, I just drove around the grounds, on my way back to SF, just for fun, and I thought, wow, I’m ready to experience this place as a childless oldster. I want to bird my ass off. I want to go offseason. All of it!
Camping at Rambling Redwoods offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature, surrounded by the majestic Redwoods. The campground provides a variety of amenities, including a playground and horseshoe pits, as well as a dog wash area for your furry friends. Well-maintained bathrooms and showers featuring good water pressure—a welcome comfort in the great outdoors. The availability of a laundry room adds a touch of convenience to the rustic camping experience. We were in site 31 which was a very level dirt pull-thru and parked our truck between two huge trees. My only negative thought is that the back of the site only had a couple of logs separating sites 31 and 30. I may not have felt this an issue had the people at site 30 kept their dogs on a leash which would have prevented their three dogs from coming over and trying to attack my dog. Yes, the park has a leash rule. When planning a trip to the Redwood State and National Park, mapping out your destinations is crucial, as some attractions can be quite a distance from the campground.
Campsites are incredibly beautiful and well spaced out. Great showers and satisfactory restrooms. Water and electric was $2 more at the campsite, well worth it. Some great little dog walks from and near the location. Was a great break from the summer heat. We'll definitely be back.
Amazing staff, beautiful grounds and amenities. Private trails that lead to the river and close to state parks. We enjoyed our time here very much and definitely recommend if your in the area.
Campground is co-operated by State Park and National Park Service... therefore will receive National Park Access Pass discounts! A lovely campground nestled in the redwoods with river access. No hookups. Restrooms have flush toilets. Showers are also available. Nice walking trails originate from the campground. A small history center is onsite. The amphitheater also has frequent ranger programs. Sites also mostly level. Would stay again.
I don’t know of a more perfect place to camp in the trees. Majestic views and so peaceful.
We were there at first with just a couple rvs there. By the end of the four days - it was filling up and was still quiet. The showers were nice. Ferndale is a gorgeous old Victorian town and you are still close to eureka and don’t underestimate the safety factor.
Loved it, the kids had a blast running around the woods. Really easy pull thru site that fit our camper and both vehicles.
The park area is right on a really pretty blue river. The camp sites are all really close to the river as well so you can walk there in no time. Bathrooms were very nice. And all the staff was very friendly and helpful
Friendly staff, clean restrooms, and close to most Redwood state parks
Absolutely gorgeous. Boat was kinda sassy but views were insane. Beach is beautiful. Bring your surf board for sure
Campground with large, grassy, shaded sites. Small children’s playground.. Some back-ins sites are shaded. Separate tent area. Small store with game room, puzzles, and books to share. Clean bathrooms with small showers, abundant heated water. If you want a quiet site far from the city and traffic noise, this is your place.
First thing to know is that this is a privately owned campground. It’s run similar to a hotel. You make your reservation for what type of site you want and what kind of trailer you have (or tent site). They assign you a campsite when you check in. From other reviews that I read they try to get you into a site that works for you. We have a pop up trailer so we were in a small section that had about 5 sites for vans and pop ups. Ours was a pretty good size site, but it was backed up to the backside of the cabins. So it wasn’t exactly private.
Overall it is a beautiful area and the tent camping spots looked more secluded. They have a wide variety of sites. Most of the trailer sites are right next to each other similar to an RV resort.
Bathrooms were clean and showers were adequate. They run in quarters and we were able to get some at the front desk.
Great camp ground that even has a laundromat. There are bears but I didn’t get eaten… this time… lol
Location, location, location. While this campgrounds proximity (~1mile) to the beach and Klammath River make it an obvious winner, it's the more subtle things that will bring you back to Kamp Klammath. This Kamp has hands down the friendliest and most helpful staff you could ask for. The large common patio and chairs beckon campers to just sit and appreciate the calm and coastal air. The Kamp has everything a hard sided camper could ask for (all hookups and utilities) but if you just happen to be a dirt camper (TENT campers listen up!), this place is for you. There are wide deep cul-de-sac type tent sites hidden in the architecture of the bushes and trees that surround the sites. Kind of like having your own private nook to camp in. This Kampground gets a "come back here" note on my Google Maps favorites.
The friendliest staff you will ever meet, and we met a few of them. Check in was easy and we were escorted to our campsite. Once set up, the camp side was very close to our neighbors. Expect no privacy. Perhaps they should put up a patrician of lattice or something between the sites. The utilities are somewhat confusing. In one of the pictures below, you can see a sewer access under the picnic table. Not sure why. We were told to use the one with the rest of utilities. One camper, came and dumped his RV using this sewer and said it was on the map as the one to use. It was a good stay never the less but I think the staff needed to tweak a few things.
Very close to redwood sequoia, campsite fully equipped! Very nice place to stay!
Beautiful oasis in the trees! Clean bathrooms.
We stayed one night at this first come first served campground. We had a very nice visit, very relaxing and peaceful. I would definitely stay again.
We have stayed here twice now. We went for our second stay when visiting the Redwoods because we really appreciate a first come first serve campground. And this one is truly amazing! Tucked back in the Redwoods, you can hear highway noise from 101 but we chose a spot closer to the entrance and it didn’t bother us at all. The park has a day use area and even short trails that meander through the middle of the campground that are gorgeous. The camp host and his wife were so kind and sold firewood for $10 a bundle (by the way people, you shouldn’t just go up and take firewood when there is clearly a sign to ask the host…). Flush toilets. The only thing that would make this campground better are showers. Otherwise we had a great time here and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a spot in the area!
First off I must say I have stayed at many campgrounds this passed year. I’ve seen poorly managed, unkept & some amazing campgrounds. This campgrounds is rather peace & the location is wonderful. You camp amongst new growth Redwoods & most sights are quite nice affording some privacy. One drawback is no showers which would be nice. I do have 2 things that I found needs a little taking care of. First is that there's no showers. Second the restroom I used had overflowing trash & in the 5 days I spent at campground I did not see nor was it noticeable that they had been cleaned. I gave a 5 rating because the camp host & wife were fantastic. They were very courteous , sociable & helpful. They were attentive to people’s needs & desires! Giving me cause to overlook the minor issues.
I recommend this campground & I wouldn’t hesitate to return!
This is an amazing Grove of redwoods just north of Crescent City on the 101. There's about 50 campsites between the 10th spaces and RV spaces. This park seems to be overlooked by many. Not well advertise not good signage but just a left turn off the 101 northbound. There's only one full hookup spot in the campground. The other thing of major note is that this is such a thick Grove of redwoods that all of the roads through the campground are barely one lane wide and one way. We have a 30-foot travel trailer and it was very difficult to maneuver into or out of the full hookup spot. There are just two or three other spaces that will accommodate a good size rig. Most of the spots would not accommodate more than a 20 ft travel trailer and a vehicle. We really enjoyed this part very quiet and peaceful and towering redwoods! They had quite a few pathways for hiking throughout the small Park but the amazing history that the redwoods told us as we walked through was astounding! Very quiet, very peaceful, very dark and tall Forest. Cool in the shade of all of these Giants. There's also quite a large family Park area in the middle of the Grove with a playground and a large covered area with tables for a party or such. You really feel as if you're far from the world in the middle of this little Grove even though you're just next to the 101 highway. Please note when you make the left turn off the highway on to the (elk valley cross) Google maps will then instruct you to immediately make a left into the park which unfortunately is the one-way exit out of the park. Do not follow Google maps here. Continue past that exit road which has a bunch of wrong Way signs by the way, and continue to the next left (Cunningham Lane) which will take you around the side of the park to the proper entrance. If you like redwoods and shade and quiet this park is for you.
I've always loved Sue-Meg/Patricks Point, the trails and Agate Beach were my favorites when I lived locally. Camping here is fun as well and we keep coming back as often as we can. This trip we stayed in site 100 at Agate beach. It wasn't our favorite site that we've stayed at but it was nice. It is quite open to the parking lot for the Agate beach trail and doesn't have much seclusion, so you're really out in the open. You're next to the cabins, which made us slightly jealous we didn't book them for this trip lol. We had our dog with us, which is nice that they are allowed but a bummer that the dogs aren't allowed on any trails in the park. It's also nice how centrally located the park is in Humboldt. It's close enough to Arcata and Eureka that you can head down for food and other trails/activities in the surrounding area.
We got super lucky with the weather, it was sunny and no rain for the 3 days we stayed in April. It was kind of busy this second weekend in April, lots of families and other dogs, but most people were friendly and quiet. The campground next to us had some younger guys who we caught climbing into the trees and sawing off branches for their firewood, which was sad to see.
Besides that it was an amazing weekend at Sue-Meg, I highly recommend the park. :)
Emerald Forest is just that, nestled in a forest. It was a little muddy when we visited but California was smack dab in the middle of a very wet season. Our campsite was level and secluded. The bathrooms were clean and showers had nice warm water, did have to pay for the showers but a couple quarters isn’t much. We stayed two nights and walked to town every morning for coffee and scones from Beachcomber…delicious! Our dogs absolutely loved running on the beach which was also a couple mile walk away. Our second visit to this campground was as good as our first. Love this place and would return again.
Absolutely beautiful but right now it is a total MUD FEST. They have had a ton of rain with more on the way. It is a lovely campground nestled into the trees and would be great in the summer and provide protection from the summer heat. I would like to come back when it dries out. It’s close to a beautiful beach and some cool hiking but too muddy for now. Wait until late May, Early June. Sites are tight and some of the back ins a re super hard. I watched someone in an RV try to squeeze in and he had to move. I had difficulty getting in with my van as there was a large RV across from me with other vehicles parked around it.
The park and campgrounds are managed by both the state of California and the NPS. If you have a national senior pass you can get a 50% discount because it is comanaged by the NPS. California doesn’t offer any decent senior discounts. The campground is awesome. I am normally not a big fan of heavily wooded campgrounds because I heavily dependent on Starlink for connectivity to the outside world. However, I was able to get an amazing site down by the river and was able to run Dishy out near the river bank and got a great connection. There is a short nature walk(about 1.5 miles) that leads through a breathtaking stand of redwoods that are enormous and 1,000s of years old. Of course, being a national and CA state park there are no hookups. I only saw one bathroom serving a very large area and it was a bit of a hike to get to. I would rate the bathroom a B. There is no hand soap so bring your own! Normally I would rate this a 4 because of lake of amenities but it gets a 5.
Definitely snuggled in the beautiful trees. Clean park, my parking spot was very level, roads are not paved so they got muddy in the recent rain. You do have to pay for the showers, but the bathrooms are clean and private.
