My family had a blast camping here! 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. Longer walk but a nice walk or bike ride to beach front park. All of the campsites have concrete slabs but not all sites have picnic tables and you have to bring your own fire pit.
Guide
The park is a bit run down. There are definitely a lot of long term residents. It is right across the (busy) street from the harbor and less than a mile into town. 4 Verizon bars and decent WiFi. Showers weren't bad either. The spots are clean and they have full hook ups.
Traveler
Beautiful RV park nestled in the California redwoods. 1 mile away from Trees of Mystery. Full hook ups for Rv's, tent camping area as well. The family won't get bored here! They have hiking trails, horseshoes and an adorable little 18 hole mini golf course to boot! Just a mile down the road is Trees of Mystery, a few miles the other direction is a casino, jet boat rides up the Klamath River , scenic drives abound including an elk reserve, and it's approximately 25 minutes to the coast. Wonderful little general store and the nicest couple who run the park.
Guide
Decent site to stay. We stopped and stayed for 1 night to see the redwoods. It's very close and the staff was nice. Amenities and camp ground were good, but with 3 kids not much for them to do at the rv site itself. Rv parking spots were smaller then the previous we have stayed on our road trip. They did have coin operated laundry area near the office as well as bathrooms and showers (I believe they were coin operated aswell, but I didn't use them since we had our RV) around the resort. One of the bigger issues we had was that they placed us next to a person who stays there long term. Unfortunately they had planters that made it difficult for us to park and detach our trailer/toy hauler. One thing that was really nice was the wifi. Unlike some other places we've been it worked throughout the entire rv site without issue. Overall great place to stay and explore the redwoods.
Gas station is near the entrance. They close and lock their pumps up so make sure to check the hours. They also have a Cafe across the street that's open during the morning.
Legend
We didn't stay here, but we checked it out while staying at Beachfront RV across the street.
All sites are full hookup, with 30 and 50 amp power, cable, and wifi.
There is laundry and free showers on site. $49/night with monthly and long term rates available. Your RV must be 10 years or newer, or you can send them a photo if you have a vintage or older RV.
The park is located in the busy port area, with cars driving by, people coming and going to the day use area to go fishing and hang out at the beach, the coast guard station across the street, as well as several restaurants and gift shops in easy walking distance.
Cell reception is good in this area for all 3 carriers.

Rosevelt Elk roam through the campground. They were obviously used to people. We stayed on the “meadow” side where the elk roam through your campsite. The “forest” side is quite dark as you are camping in the redwoods. We had full hook ups on the meadow side. I am not sure if the forest side had full hook ups. They have a small pond with a ton of polliwogs in it (end of June). No fish in the pond as a couple of otters came in and ate the all the fish. Close proximity to the southern end of Redwoods National Park and many California State Parks. All in all this was a once in a lifetime experience!

My family and I come here every winter and stay for 5 months..this place is great. It has big RV spaces. Bathrooms and 3 showers as well as a laundromat that isn't expensive to wash and dry your clothes. Has a clubhouse as my daughter puts it that has tv you can watch cable on, a stove and microwave, sink, a few tables with chairs, bookshelf with lots of books and puzzles your able to use, as well as a fire place to keep it warm in there. Everything is clean here and they clean it daily. Everyone who stays here all have seemed very nice. The people who run this place are amazing so friendly and will help you if there is something that needs done at you space you're staying in. Has full hook ups and they offer cable and internet for your RV space. Your definitely going to enjoy your stay here. It's open all year round.

This county park is beautiful.
You are surrounded by redwoods with very little sunshine so if you rely on solar this will be a problem. Sites are very clean, fairly level and of varying sizes. We were able to find a spot we fit in with our 26ft RV. 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.
There is quite a bit of road noise and some construction noise during the day but quieted down at night. There seemed to be a lot of cars coming and going but overall few campers, we wondered if the day use area is a popular hangout spot for the locals. We didn't hear excessive noise though so not sure where everyone was headed.
The various nature trails in the campground were nice to stroll around in, and there was a small creek as well. There is a day use area with horseshoe pits, including horseshoes, and volleyball or badminton grass court with no net and a playground.
While walking along one of the nature trails we noticed tires, hooks and such in the trees that were probably used as a ropes challenge course at some point.
The downside was while walking around this park we saw one trailer that had their sewer line with no cap and a large bucket sitting underneath it to catch the waste, the hosts were blaring music while chopping wood and talking loudly, and there was a rundown camper just parked near the picnic area. These looked to be long term situations but since the sites are fairly secluded it did not bother us. There is one full hook up site for $30/night otherwise $20/night. Self pay, no reservations.
The campgound road was paved but narrow in spots and the paved parking spots at each site varied in length. Bigger rigs would have a problem in this park. It was overall nice and we would stay again.
There are trash bins throughout cutely designed like tree stumps, but no recycling bins. Good cell reception with AT&T, Verizon and T-Moblie.

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.
Traveler
This is the second summer that we have stayed at Klamath River RV Park. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful. It has well maintained grounds and friendly staff. RV spaces are on grass. It has laundry and restrooms/showers. River access a nearby drive but not at the RV park.
ScoutGreat RV resort in Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park. Very clean and nice sized RV and Tent sites.
Ranger
The rv park was clean and well taken care of. We had full hookups and a picnic table. There is also a small playground on the property.
TravelerPlus 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.
ScoutFirst tried to phone harbormaster on a Saturday but they are only open Monday to Friday. Had a difficult time figuring out where this was but eventually found a place that was for long term dwellers and was filthy with junk. Another area in the harbor has big rig RVs in a parking lot. Not suitable for any other type camping.
Traveler
Manager was extremely nice and the long terms stays locals are friendly. However, the park itself needs major upkeep.
TravelerThis RV Resort has tent sites, RV sites, Yurt, 2 Cabin appartments to rent for vacations. The park has basketball court, recreational room with pool table, TV with cable, books and board games, laundry room $1.25 to wash & $.25 to dry, rest rooms and showers $0.50 a token for 6 minutes of hot water. Come see for yourself, enjoy the Redwoods and about 15 to 25 minutes to town of Crescent City and ocean. Smith River is close by as well.
ScoutThis RV park was a little slice of heaven. The owner (Gary) was very hospitable. The park had a little bit of everything… river views, wooded trails, huge fire pits, full hookups, etc. They have a swing set for little kids, and large grounds for them to run and play on the grounds. Highly recommend this location if your traveling in the northern redwoods.
TravelerElk country rv resort was AMAZING! Nothing beats sleeping under the canopy of redwood trees and waking in the brisk morning to find elk grazing in the adjacent pasture, who could care less that you’re there. It had almost a magical feel to it! The only negative I could find was that you do have to pay to shower, and we rarely had warm water. not sure if there was something going on with the showers or if that’s just how they are, but I took some of the fastest showers in my life lol
RangerFirst 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.
ScoutAcross from Stone Lagoon and Dry Lagoon Beach along Highway 101. This campground accommodates tent camping and RV full hook-up. Herd of Roosevelt Elk live there and are frequently in the campground. Beautiful grounds and open all year.
Guide
There is absolutely no signage and very confusing trying to find our spot. The facility is beautiful with sites tucked into the trees and overall well maintained. There are a ton of long term campers in really prime spots. Overall okay and in a good location. 3 stars for the price and difficulty navigating the property.
Legend
This run down little campground is one of our favorites. It’s split into two sides: 1 side is the regular tightly packed RV park with full hookups and an age limitation of 20 years for your RV. Next to the RV park is a small cute mobile home community, as well as some rental units that were under construction when we were there in the summer. On the other side of the mobile homes is the boondock/ tent side. There are water spigots at each site, some dilapidated wobbly picnic tables that are barely standing, and some rocks formed into a small makeshift fire pit. There are also showers and toilets on this side. The whole boondock side looks like an abandoned drive-in movie theater. Add to that the super friendly staff and the old hotel and restaurant that are closed and abandoned and look haunted, and you have such a unique and oddly charming place to stay.
Smaller RVs have the option of staying in one of several waterfront sites, which are tucked away from the main areas and are out almost on the beach. Sadly, our 26ft Class C is too big to camp in one of those sites.
The RV park side is expensive, at approx $55/night, but they offer a Passport America discount at 50% off for one night. The laundry and showers are clean. There is a community room with a great water view and there’s also a book exchange in the room. The boondock side is around $27/night, not cheap, especially considering the lack of amenities, but we love it anyway. We love the boondock side much more than the RV park side. It’s generally deserted, plenty of space all around you, and it’s so quiet and peaceful. The beach is a short walk away, and you can walk all the way along the beach along the Smith River to where it meets the ocean. There is an amazing amount of wildlife and tide pools here. We saw so many otters, sea lions, osprey, pelicans, and even a herd of elk one early morning.
Cell service is good here, and the park’s wifi (on the RV park side) wasn’t bad. There are trash dumpsters throughout the park and one large mixed recycling bin near the entrance. You can also get propane here.
GuideOnly 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.
LegendThis is an amazing campground right off of hwy 101. With old growth redwood stumps and trails amongst new growth. If you are driving by you must stop. This is a beautiful site. I do have to warn you this must be under old school management, while most host sites are clean and managed this host site looks like something out of a horror movie. Not to scare you but they must be old time long term (hoarding( hosts.

This place has so much potential, and is poorly run. I booked my site 3 weeks prior to arrival, requesting and reserving a deluxe spot. A week before arrival I called to add an additional night, and it was made very clear we HAD to be there before dark, they DO NOT park people after dark.
Enroute to the campground, I was called 3 times! Twice to ask where I was, and once to ask where my family members were that we were camping with. We traveled from 5 hours out, leaving our home at 1:30. I was scolded for being there almost too late and that I COULD NOT park my trailer without the afterhours crew. I asked for my site number, I was hesitantly given it, but not without being reminded that “I COULD NOT park my trailer alone, so it didn’t matter what site I was in”. I was not in the deluxe site I had paid for and reserved, the reply I received was “ yeah, that happens a lot, we move people around all the time”. Upon arrival, the gentleman that parked us was so helpful and kind.
The park is a two sided park. The side with the cabins, yurts and pull through sites is very clean and well managed. The other side of the park is a mix of long term campers, storage sheds, boat/rv storage and weekend campers. Maintenance on this side of the park is not a priority, clearly. The weeds are over grown with glass in the camp site divider. The long term people are questionable and the gentleman parked behind us had cameras on his trailer that faced our campsite! You pay 50 dollars a night to camp here and have to pay to use their showers. There are 2 ways to the water, the first is straight down a steep cliff and the second is behind a gate. So, if you have kayaks, rafts or anything of that nature you have to lug it to the river, never is the gate unlocked.
The icing on the cake was when we went to pay the bill! My husband was told if he used his credit card he would receive a 3% service fee and that our “late fee” for arriving at 7:30pm had been removed. I will never visit this park again.

Courtside RV park is a beautiful location. It has four hook ups with dump. The sites are pretty level. The harbor is right down the hill.
