"Many are not level; we had a challenge in Site 123 and saw a few others in the same situation. Fortunately, we changed our sleeping position (we don’t carry levelers for our van) and parked sideways."
"This awesome site is located on bluffs right above Agate Beach which is accessed via a steep walking trail."
"So we kept heading down the highway and after a drive through Trinidad we came upon this spot! Great spot with super clean bathrooms and laundry. Nestled in a little redwood grove."
"We are very grateful to the front desk staff who helped us that night."
$40 - $70 / night
"We are traveling in a truck bed camper and got one of the last "Mesa" spots up on the hill."
"The hosts are friendly and fun, the facilities are well maintained and there are perks like showers and laundry machines. My only complaint is that it is loud."
"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."
"A well run campground with newer bathroom and shower blocks. The rangers were delightful and the camp host was kind and helpful."
$25 - $55 / night
"Great river view, and cool little deck/firepit at the riverside. Some septic work was being done while we were here, but our stay was not hampered too much."
"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."
$20 - $30 / night
"I suggest driving around first before picking a spot as some are better than others. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit and there were water spigots throughout the park."
"Flush toilets, fire pit, and picnic tables. I got site 30 which was right next to the exit so a good amount of traffic but otherwise an amazing site in the trees!"
"Full rv hook ups, clean bathrooms and showers, and gorgeous views of the bay and Battery Point Lighthouse. Within walking distance to Ocean World and the Apple Peddler."
"Booked same day and about 4 hours before we arrived. We got lucky and got a premium ocean spot. We only stayed one night. Showers and bathrooms were okay— but we usually use our own bathroom/ shower."
$200 / night
"Courteous staff.. small store w/ a few things we needed. Close to lots of hiking."
"This location had several sites available, tent, and cabins, as well."
$28 - $66 / night
"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."
"Conveniently near Redwood hiking trails. Very friendly and helpful staff. Has laundry on site."
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.
TravelerKamp Klamath is within walking distance to the mouth of the Klamath River and centrally located within the Redwood region. The campground is very rustic, clean, very basic, and quiet. Laundry room is actually located inside a tin shed. Small store for basic supplies. Picnic tables and fire pits at each site. During the summer months they offer a weekly meal event at their pavilion. Management was very friendly and accommodating.
ScoutWe are traveling in a truck bed camper and got one of the last "Mesa" spots up on the hill. This was a nice area where the bigger RVs park, but because of that, there are no bathrooms, so it was a long walk to the new, very clean, bathrooms by the office. It was a VERY long walk to the one shower building, which is in reasonable shape.
There are a lot of campgrounds here, but this seems to be the furthest from the 101. Another CG had a nice view of the river but I would stay here again.
Ps, bring your own firewood... It is crazy expensive, wet, and had thick bark. I joked that it was a "smoke generator", not a fire pit.
GuideAs spontaneous travelers, we tend not to reserve spots in advance and seek first come campgrounds which county parks tend to be. We don't need nor desire all the cozy amenities of "resort" campgrounds so county parks are some of our favorite places to stop if we aren't boondocking. Florence Keller ranks on the low end of the county parks we've stayed in but was good enough for an overnight stay.
This campground is well-loved and it shows. Be sure to go through all the loops. We almost missed the one we ended up in (by the playground) and it wasn't crowded and was quieter (at night when the playground wasn't being used) since it was away from the highway noise.
GuideThis campground has been awesome. The hosts are friendly and fun, the facilities are well maintained and there are perks like showers and laundry machines. My only complaint is that it is loud. There are quiet hours but the campground hosts aren’t very intent on holding campers to them. Given the fact that this site is so family friendly, noise is less of a concern for those who camp here. If you aren’t worried about noise, this is a great spot but if you prefer being remote when camping, I would look somewhere else first,
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!
LegendI was so excited to be camping here. I wanted a campsite in Trinidad which would be central to all I wanted to do in the Redwoods. This campground seemed to check all my boxes, plus: CAMPING BY REDWOOD TREES!!! This was the clincher for me. There are a lot of redwood trees in the campground& in the sites.
My husband wanted to give one star. I'm giving three. It wasn't completely awful. First, divide the campground in two. The Hwy 101 side& the Patrick Point Road side. You don't want the Hwy 101 side. It's noisy. VERY noisy. PPR side is the better bet. There's traffic noise, but not as bad. There's a rustic charm about the campground. It's obviously an established place, but I couldn't find out how old it was. Lots of annoying signs posted all over the place about quiet hours, check out time, speed limit, ect. They sell propane& there's a dump station. They have a camp store/gift shop at the office. The beach is very close, but there's no view of the ocean at this campground. This is one of the few places we camped at that we were allowed to have a campfire.
The worst thing about the campsites on both sides is how close they are- VERY VERY close& narrow. Sites 2-11 are very tight. We had campsite 9. It would have been acceptable if we weren't camped next to site 10, which is the trashiest campsite I've parked next to. Ever. There were a couple of sheds, wooden pallets for a privacy fence& junk everywhere. Obviously a permanent site. The trailer has been there a LOOONG time. We were there for four nights. It sucked. Best site in the campground is site 20, which is a pull through. Don't get site 9 or 11. Sites 14-17 are right on top of the bathrooms& there's foot traffic there all the time. Also not very attractive& right on top of each other. If you rent a cabin, ask not to get Q. Right on top of the bathrooms. Lots of foot traffic.
If I had a tent site I'd be in heaven. The tent sites are in a redwood setting. Very rustic& nice. Also spacious. There's cabins also that looked nice.
There's one bath house in the 101 side. Men& women. The women's side had 3 sinks, 1 out of order. 3 toilets all working. 3 showers, 1 out of order. There's a group of three unisex bathroom/shower combos by the PPD side. All working. It looked clean, but my husband accidently dropped his towel on the floor& I had to wash it. Very dirty.
Laundry had all machines working.
It looked like most reviewers liked this place a lot. I think it had some charm, but didn't like how close the RV sites were.
If you're there for a night or two it would probably be ok.
LegendWe stayed here on a Saturday night in mid August and had no problem getting a spot. We paid $28.50 (incl tax) with Passport America for full hookups, so expect to pay double that without the discount. They also offer Good Sam, AAA, and veteran discounts.
Showers were decent. Clean enough, water pressure and temperature were fine. There are only 2 washers and 2 dryers (at $1.50 for wash and $1 for dry) that worked well. The park offers wifi but signal is very weak/ unusable unless you use the wifi offered in the office/community room. There are a few basic (very basic) snack and food items for sale in the office. There is also a pool table available for use.
Park has dumpsters but no recycle bins.
Park is right on the Klamath River and is very peaceful and fairly quiet, other that hearing your neighbor’s TV in their RV because the sites are packed so tightly together. We were told by another long time resident that the place isn’t usually this packed and should quiet down at the end of summer. There are tent sites and a group camping area. We were told by the office staff that RVs are welcome to dry camp in the tent area, though we aren’t sure how that would work with fitting an RV in the tent area as the gate was tight. We asked if the RV would be able to dump and fill water and the staff person wasn’t sure and would have to check with owner.
There is a fire pit set up on a little cozy deck on the water. Office staff was very friendly but park owners seemed not to be. It’s possible that they don’t take kindly to Passport America guests. While walking our dogs out on the main road, two dogs from two properties over came charging out at us, teeth bared, ready to fight. By some miracle our yells and screams were enough to get them to back off. The owner stood there, watching the commotion, and didn’t say a word to us when we were walking past her on our way back to our RV. Just seemed odd. We were also told by another long time resident that this park double booked sites for the July 4th weekend and had to turn people away when they showed up for their reservations. Just something to keep in mind for this place.
Propane for sale here at $2.80/gal.
Good cell reception with ATT and Verizon and weak TMobile.
LegendThis campsite did the trick in a pinch , but it was truly one of my least favorite experiences. We had a full hook up, but we’re unable to choose our site and we’re put directly next to the highway. We were also right next to the gas station which resulted in a ton of noise. There was also a sewage smell that no one could pin down where it was coming from that was unavoidable when outside.
The most concerning part of our state was that over the four nights, the bathrooms were not cleaned once. This was evident as the same shit explosion that remained on the toilet seat the entire time we stay there. As well as the hair in the sink that lingered for the entire four days and no refill on the paper towels or soap dispenser that were out.
The showers were coin operated which was disappointing, but the water was hot. They’re also codes for the bathroom and laundry room. We were placed next to lifers and the sites themselves were quite small. Sadly, we were the only site without a fire ring that had a grill top. For some reason this one was only cinderblocks that we’re not large enough to contain our firewood. No Verizon and ATT went in and out.
For the pros: there was reliable and usable Wi-Fi. It was incredibly close to Jedediah state park. Lastly, the staff sent out a great email listing out a ton of options in the area for hiking eating etc.
Having walked around Jedediahs campsite, it is far far far superior to this RV stay. I would highly recommend checking out a Campsite there if possible. This campsite is incredibly close to Jedediah and honestly that’s its only benefit.
