  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.

  Emerald Forest Cabins & RV

  Our forest haven for almost two months!

  Beautiful RV park, nestled amongst redwoods, is clean and well-maintained. Staff was very friendly. Close to downtown Trinidad (though most things were closed due to COVID-19). Close to the ocean and lots of walking trails around. Only problem was cable issues. We changed sites once early on, but that didn't really help, though we were able to get one DISH satellite through a gap in the trees. Our site had 30A, full hook-up service. WI-FI was generally ok. They have laundry and showers, though we had our own. Little store for general needs in park, but small grocery store in town. I suggest visiting or ordering from The Larrupin, a restaurant just two minutes down the road. Very good food and service. We ordered curbside pickup since there was no dine-in due to COVID. We would love to go back to Trinidad when all of this is over and would definitely consider staying again at Emerald Forest.

  Redwood Acres RV Park

  Close to downtown

  Plus side is that it’s very close to downtown & camp host was great. Lots of old rundown RVs and junk lying around. Good for an overnight stop but would not stay long term.

  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.

  long term stays

  Manager was extremely nice and the long terms stays locals are friendly. However, the park itself needs major upkeep.

  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.

  Just OK

  We stayed one night on a trip down the 101. Lots of highway noise, no fire pits, seems like a lot of families here long term. Managers were nice.

  Emerald Forest Cabins & RV

  Cozy camping

  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.

  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.

  Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination

  A Hidden Gem

  What a wonderful RV park. Quiet except for the very occasional road noise during the day, extremely quiet at night, very well kept up, friendly hosts, and very nice sites. The options here run the gamut from tent sites, cabins, W/E hookups and even some full hookups with sewer. They also have a dump station, bathrooms/laundry (currently closed due to the pandemic), volleyball, horseshoes, river access and more. Myers Flat is a small town with a tiny grocery/deli but not a ton more.

  If you’re coming in along 101, take the Avenue of the Giants if you have some extra time. You’ll end up right in Myers Flat and see some amazing forests along the way.

  We’ll be back for sure.

  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.

  Place is ok - in a sketchy area

  Not a horrible place. Wish we had stayed at the state park just up the street. The road coming into the park is just kinda sketchy- not the park’s fault. The park is clean and restrooms are clean. There did appear to be some folks that may be a bit long term which is always a bit of a turnoff for me. Overall not terrible but something just a bit off here.

  Great location, campers parked very close to one another but quiet.

  Only stayed one night. They are very busy. Probably would’ve stayed one more night, but our site was already booked. Great little store with supplies, friendly staff, full hook ups.

  Dean Creek Resort

  Words can’t describe

  Wow. Don’t be fooled this is not the great place in the description. This place is very out dated. Don’t get me wrong it looked like a cool spot 30 years ago. The water is brown in your camp spot and at the motel. There are a lot of permanent residents and long term campers that have junked up there premium back ins. Dean’s was very quit but I don’t think I will return to this dump till they do a major overhaul!!!

  Riverwalk RV Park

  Lovely RV Park

  This RV park was really nice. A little freeway noise but not enough to detract. Nice store. RV sites have trees and grass and picnic tables and aren’t super close together. Tent sites looked decent sized. Seemed like a lot of RVs but saw very few people. Grounds are very pretty.

  Blue Lake Casino

  $11 / night includes dump and fill!

  This was our first time trying out a casino parking lot to stay in, and it was a nice treat to be able to walk from the RV to dinner. The casino has some good restaurants in it, and there are other options within walking distance as well. The casino has their own brewery, which was very cool, and the beer was delicious. 

  The casino has you join their club in order to be able to park here for the night. Membership is free and easy to sign up- and you get some cool swag as well: a deck of cards, $20 worth of gambling money, and most exciting to us: a redwood tree starter kit! This last one might just be limited time for Earth Day though. 

  The casino is currently open with limited capacity, and your temperature is checked at the door. The restaurants inside offer in house dining, and the guests were seated at tables far apart from each other, and all the staff had masks on. 

  One downside: this casino had several semi trucks parking in the RV area, so the engine noise of them coming and going made it sound a bit like a truck stop. However, it was really quiet overnight. 

  There’s also a gas station on site, and they have bulk propane at $2.89/gal as well. The use of the dump is only for RVs staying overnight. There are trash bins but we didn’t see any recycling bins. Keep in mind this is sovereign land and not California State land, so some things that are legal in California (i.e. marijuana) are not legal on casino property. Good wifi from the casino reached all the way back to the RV parking area, which was a surprise. Good T-Mobile, ATT, and Verizon reception as well.

  Redcrest Resort

  More than adequate for a night or two

  Small rv park within cute mom and pop resort with cabins. Also have tent sites. Sites are tight and not level side to side. But clean and adequate with FHU. Also showers if needed.

  Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination

  Avoid

  We were very disappointed with this park.  The staff were friendly enough at check in, but after I settled into our spot, the sewer hookup was on a 45 degree angle and twisted (and seemingly glued in place) so it was running parallel to the ground, plus the cap was not removable.  We paid for a full hook-up and got no sewer.  They have a dump station so for a one night stay we were ok.  During the evening, the noise from adjacent properties was loud music similar to what you might expect from a bar.  The parking pads were sharp angled gravel and the tables were dirty as if never cleaned (which in the COVID times we are in, is inexcusable).  When we pulled out, we did use the dump station which seemed very nice and easy to use.  While at the station, we observed two different campers punch a code in the bathroom doors and enter, do their business and return to their sites.  When we finished up, my wife wanted to use a bathroom, so we stopped at the office to use their's or get a code for the ones by the dump station.  The staff refused to let us, saying "you have a toilet in your trailer don't you?"  My wife responded to say we just dumped the tanks and they said too bad, they don't allow use of their restrooms in COVID.  Inappropriate when considering other patrons using them, and the unclean shape of the campsite.  Never for us again!

  Giant Redwoods RV & Cabin Destination

  Serenity!

  The Avenue of the Giants Redwood Highway has always been one of my all time favorite places!  

  I recently camped at the Giant Redwood RV park and it didn’t disappoint!  

  Although it was early August, we were lucky enough to find half the campground empty and the weather was perfect!  

  This little gem is a short walk down to the sandy beach on the Eel River and has a few giant redwoods in the campground to marvel over!  

  There was electric and water hook up and a dump station only.  The campsites are gravel but there was grassy areas around us. 

  The owners are very nice and they have a small store there also. 

  My only complaints are that the street you have to drive down is not very pleasant. It had a broken trailer on the side of the road that appeared to be there a very long time, among other unpleasant sights!  Once you get through the gated area to the park, it’s lovely and you feel secure but going down that street was sad. 

  Although I shower in my rv, I decided to use the one there so I could avoid filling my gray water tank. It was a nice shower but there was only the one in the restroom near me. They could use a few more showers!  

  All and all, we loved it there and will be returning another time!

  Nice RV park, everything was clean park, bathrooms and showers as well as a good wifi signal. Area is not the safest, alot of homeless people, very sad. Walked to the Carson Mansion and Target which had a large grocery section. Felt safe in park.

  Shelter Cove Campground

  The only game in town.

  Shelter Cove is a must see - a very unique community. The coastline doesn’t get much better than this. 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. Road down is a bit challenging, especially the last 7 miles. Windy and steep so take your time.

  Riverwalk RV Park

  Great for Glamping

  We live in Fortuna, had just bought our first rv trailer, and needed to practice "camping" before heading out on the road to get used to hooking up, and all the other tricks that come with a 25' trailer. We stayed across town at the Riverwalk RV Park, and had a fun time. Its definitely the opposite of roughing it, and only had a picnic table at our site - no outdoor fires, but all in all was a great experience with friendly staff, a pool (special rules to use during Covid), and it looked like some other fun things on the other side of the park that we didn't have time to explore. The Eel River is close by, with a lovely walking path alongside. We arrived after the office closed and all our paperwork was ready and waiting in the outside late-arrival box. I would definitely recommend this park to anyone needing a quiet, safe, overnight stay, or for folks that like a little more of the glamping style camping.

  Clean and practical RV Park to visit the Redwoods

  Stayed here on our way along 101 N to S, after visiting Redwood NP. Great WiFi, everything nice and clean, staff friendly..After hour check-in was easy. Good Sam Member discount is a plus. Sites are close together. If you don't mind that it's a good place to stay for the night.

  Everything undesirable

  Good Sam gives them a 10. Cancelled membership after one night in this sketchy dump. Worried all night my stuff would get jacked. Never did find the river to walk, but then again didn’t want to leave my stuff unattended very long. Also on main route for fire and police which went on all night

  Stafford RV Park

  Okay, but not great.

  A little turned off my religious messages on the signage outside, instructions to dress ‘modestly’ and a long list of dog breeds not allowed. But was clean, quiet, and there was hot water. 30 amp and water hookups at the rv spot, no sewer hook up, but they did have a dump.
