Best RV Parks & Resorts near Redcrest, CA

474 Reviews

Ancient Redwoods RV Park in Redcrest provides full hookup RV sites along the Avenue of the Giants, open from May through October. Sites accommodate large motorhomes with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. Nearby, Giant Redwoods RV Destination in Myers Flat features big-rig friendly spots with water and electric hookups, plus a dump station for guests. Stafford RV Park in Scotia maintains year-round availability with thirty-amp service and pull-through sites on gravel pads. The Benbow KOA south of Redcrest offers fifty-amp service and sewer hookups for larger RVs. "Sites are close. Showers are included in camping fee. Laundry is $2 to wash, $1 to dry," noted one visitor about Ancient Redwoods RV Park.

Throughout the Redwood Coast region, cell service varies considerably between providers. Verizon typically offers the most reliable coverage, though several parks report weak or no service in more remote locations. Most RV parks in the area permit pets with standard restrictions, and many provide on-site amenities like laundry facilities and camp stores. Winter travelers should note that while some facilities remain open year-round, several parks including Ancient Redwoods close seasonally. The drive along Avenue of the Giants includes narrow, winding sections that may challenge larger motorhomes. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "The 5 mile road back is very narrow and windy but the drive is beautiful," making advance route planning essential for RVs over 35 feet.

    Humboldt County Fairgrounds

    Good place for a few days

    Plenty of room for all RV’s large to small. 30 & 50 amp power and water. Clean restrooms, heated and free. Many long term residents. The spots are level, it felt safe enough. Quiet. Close to Ferndale, which is Must See. Access from Fernbridge of of 101 as the other roads are very twisty for all but the smallest RVs. Camp host was great! Short drive into Eureka. Patriot Gas has a car wash for big rigs. Not really a photogenic campground. Very open area surrounded by fields with cows, farms and trees in the distance. Used the RV dump as I left. It’s by far the worst RV dump that I’ve used. It works, but needs a complete rebuild. I suggest requesting a spot with full hookups.

    Humboldt County Fairgrounds

    Nothing fancy, but convenient to Ferndale, and quiet

    I stayed here twice for a total of eight days. Many long-term Residents give the place a seedy feeling. Ultimately it is safe and secure. And well managed. The bathroom is clean, heated, free showers and the combination is changed weekly. Large grassy area with good spacing between most RVs. I was in the middle of the campground for short term parking. Because of recent rains and some soggy areas I had to overnight campers close to me. 30 amp and 50 amp power and water at each side. The largest downside to this place is the RV dump station inside the fairgrounds. It’s the worst one that I’ve ever used. It needs to be completely rebuilt. No ultimately it did work. Great location to the picturesque town of Ferndale California. Also a convenient location for exploring the Lost Coast area. 12 miles away from Eureka California which has a Costco and Patriot gas station on the south end of town has a car wash that can accommodate RVs.

    Del Loma RV Park and Campground

    Beautiful Trinity River

    En route Phone GPS was not reliable, luckily they have a big sign. Check in was ok, family run business and the office was a mess. Small store carries some essentials. You have to drive through several long term older Travel trailers that look like they have been there for years. I camped at site 28, which was actually a group site. It was great to have a large unoccupied area to one side, but the other side had an unoccupied long term TT that stunk like rotten fish. It was so bad we never put out our patio rug, or cooked outside. Across the way was a clean small pool which was very nice. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the loop, and walking down to the Trinity River. There are 2 river spots from the campground. Both are scenic, only one is safe to enter the water and that spot had a very small river rock spot to set up a couple chairs. If you are tent camping or in a smaller RV, their are some better sites that are further away from the permanent old Travel Trailers closet to the entrance. If you are there over a weekend they do have a very large outdoor laser tag area. They technically do have a free Wi Fi, however it is very weak, almost nonexistent. Verizon had no cell coverage.

    Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination

    Peaceful and Quiet

    Park was mostly empty and very quiet. Plenty of full and partial RV hookups (generators are not allowed) and tent spots. Very clean facilities and well maintained. Friendly staff. Walking distance to the river and has a small enclosed dog run. Excellent WiFi. Weak Verizon and no AT&T service.

    Clam Beach County Park

    Sand Beds

    There are 9 sandy campsites with picnic tables and fire rings. There are two permanent vault toilets and a one clean portable are available. There is running water. Large pull through parking spots are convenient for campers/RVs.

    Campsites are divided by logs and offer no privacy from each other. There is beach access from the campground. The beach is large with sand dunes, marsh, beach grass, and drift wood. Wooded hills and shrubs surround the campground.

    3 stars due to proximity to freeway, you can see and hear vehicles; as well as lack of privacy. Also near a local airport, the campground directly under takeoff path.

    Located near many great attractions and not far outside of town. 25 dollars a night makes this a cheap alternative to the Private and State Parks in the area that are often booked up.

    Please leave the campsites cleaner than you found them.

    Happy camping!

    Burlington Campground — Humboldt Redwoods State Park

    Quiet stay in Redwoods

    Walking distance to the visitor center and other great hikes. Dog-friendly, clean restrooms/coin showers, and relatively private sites - some more than others. Beautiful surroundings!

    Widow White Creek RV Park

    Quiet stay

    A mix of full time, seasonal and overnighted. Pull through sites. Shower, laundry room. Free Wi-Fi has a weak signal so if you need a strong signal it won’t be found here. I stayed here through the winter and fell in love with it.

    Benbow KOA & Golf Course

    Different but to be expected

    Wasn’t impressed by the long term population that seems to be residing there. It was quiet though and over all a decent stay. We spent 4 days there. The WiFi sucked and they put us in the far back. Stay closer to the front if you can in the premium spots. We didn’t know the difference. Non premium is in the way back, no fire pits and spotty WiFi.

What campers like

Redwood immersion: Camping directly among ancient trees creates memorable experiences. A camper at Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination described it as "what you would want in every campground.
