  Peaceful grounds, Lack of Communication

  This review is for the open camping.

  I arrived and after looking around for a long while for someone, I was given a quick pointing out of where everything generally was. A map or better signage is sorely needed.

  The grounds were peaceful. There are open-air showers, a community kitchen, sauna and swimming hole. The mini A-frames and dome look very cool, even from a distance.

  I tried out the sauna. It didn’t seem to be working for over 40 minutes. No one was around to troubleshoot. It just started working eventually on its own and was nice, relaxing.

  Redwood Meadows RV Resort

  Prime location

  We 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.

  AtRivers Edge RV Resort

  Great spot

  Good spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees

  Jedidiah Smith Campground — Redwood National Park

  Sleep among the giants

  Staying at the Jedidiah Smith Campground is one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. My partner and I drove up from San Francisco and were able to get a first come first serve site in the center of the campground. Campground is large and had several sites available when we were there. The sites were spacious, beautiful, quiet, and clean. Each hosts a bear locker, fire pit, and picnic table. One of the best parts of this campground is its proximity to the Smith River, which is gorgeous. There are scenic trails that connect to the campground as well as several near by. There's nothing quite like the experience of sleeping next to the ancient giants-- it's a must!

  Kamp Klamath RV Park and Campground

  Rustic, Quiet and Convenient to Redwood NP and SP

  Kamp 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.

  Florence Keller Regional Park

  Adequate for an overnight stay

  As 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. 

  • Easy access from main highway (road noise could be heard from certain sites)
  • Sites are best suited for small rigs (our 170 wheelbase class B van barely fit in the site) and they aren't incredibly level 
  • Little to no privacy between sites 
  • Nice small walking trails amongst old growth within campground 
  • Dog-friendly (leashed) 
  • 2 camp hosts on site but never saw them (that may be different during peak season) and the campsites were dirty. We had to pick up trash in the fire pit and around the site that was left behind by the previous occupants.
  • Sites near the playground can be overcome by joyful screaming of the kids during peak season. We were there off-season and it was tolerable. 
  • Very quiet at night-- road noise even tamped down (peak season may differ)
  • Pricey for what it is

  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.

  Kamp Klamath RV Park and Campground

  Quietest in Klamath, clean, nice staff

  We 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.

  Jedidiah Smith Campground — Redwood National Park

  Beautiful campgrounds!

  Cash 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!

  Jedidiah Smith Campground — Redwood National Park

  Nothing better than this location

  I have stayed at Jedediah Redwoods 3 times, and each time I find something new to appreciate. The campground itself is one of the most well kept I have been to. I have stayed in both the campsites tent camping and in one of the cabins. The campground is located right next to the river, great for taking a stroll down after dinner or early in the morning. Not the most private campsite but the stunning river, great trails, and amazing location far outweigh that. 

  I recommend taking the waterfall trail, some of the largest redwoods I have ever seen were on that trail and it was incredibly peaceful. You must spend some time sitting next to the Smith river, it is bright blue and there is a trail that hugs it with many access points. 

  The cabins were extremely nice. They have a little electric fire place heater that heats up the cabin nicely, and this cabin easily fits 6. Quite spacious, as well as convenient counter space. I would highly recommend!
