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
I stayed at this park with my daughter and dog for one night while passing through.
The facilities are very clean, showers have nice hot water for a minimal fee.
The dog park is small, but well maintained with poop bags on site for your use.
The RV Park workers were fantastic, checked on us during set up to make sure we had what we needed.
There are obviously quite a few long term renters at the park, but they showed pride in there homes and area. Everyone’s areas were clean and orderly, and the park was incredibly quiet.
Only down side is the sites are tightly packed together. My door was only a couple off feet off of my neighbors hook ups. When the camper next to us packed up in the morning, we were outside by our door. The smell of sewage was pretty strong, we just went in our camper and waited for him to finish up.
Worth a stop for the money if your going to be in the area.
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.

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.
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.
Traveler
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.
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.
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.
Guide
We go to this KOA every June or July for the last 10 years. It is a great place. Not your typical KOA as it is more like camping vs other KOA's we have stayed at. Lots of trees and shade. Some RV sites are larger than others and lots of seasonal sites. Close to lake and they have a dock. Beach is seasonal but can drive out on the mud, just don't get stuck. Rocky beach if water is low so bring your river shoes. Sites are full hook ups. Bathrooms are clean and they have made some improvements. Small pool but nice. Can get noisy on the weekends with dirt bikes etc driving around. Great for kids. Lot's to do. Very pretty area. Trinity Lake is not that busy during the week.

Elk 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.
GuideRosevelt 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!
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.
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.
RangerThis campground is truly in the woods. Most sites are very shady and spacious. A few are smaller, like mine, but we enjoyed our stay. Conveniently located near everything you could want including a Walmart, the beach, and redwood forest. Full hook ups available. Bathrooms and showers are clean. 2 washers and dryers available as well.
GuideWe stayed at this park for two nights. It was well maintained and groomed. The sites are on grass, mainly pull through and had full hook ups. The have a small play structure with swings for the kiddos. Which my daughter enjoyed. It is right off of the highway so you do have traffic noise. This park is super close to Trees of Mystery which we explored for a couple of hours. Overall, we would stay here again.
Guide
In the center of the Redwood National Park. Grassy sites, some with concrete pad. Sun and shade available. Quiet. Water and electric $46. Bathrooms not modern but clean. Free Hot showers. A few seasonal. Fire department and local police officers hang out here. Pull through sites. Good Sam.

if you're looking for a get away with lonely, beautiful long stretches of beach wide expanses of stillwater and plenty of wildlife viewing come to the North Coast of California's Big Lagoon County campground. Part of the largest lagoon system in the country, the Humboldt Lagoons State Park has many treasures to explore. Dubbed "A String of Pearls", Big Lagoon is the largest of three natural "wet" lagoons and one Dry Lagoon. The county campground is located on its shore. Most of the campsites have views of the lagoon and the dunes on its opposite shore.
Guests will awaken to the sounds of crashing waves in the distance and maybe the chirping of osprey or squawking if great blue heron nearby. Launch of personal watercraft such as paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, sailboats or even catamarans can be done foot steps away from the campsites. The temperature of the Lagoon can get warm enough to swim in, even up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available during the summer months at the boat launch area though Kayak Trinidad, outfitter. I don't believe there are RV hookups at this Campground.
Wildlife viewing is wonderful at this location at it as it is a resting place for migratory birds along with their route on the Pacific Flyway. There is also a resident heard of Roosevelt elk that frequents the brackish marsh areas to the east where Maple Creek drains into the lagoon. Agate hunting is a favorite at the beach nearby, but visitors must be aware that the ocean conditions on this beach are treacherous and should never approach the wave slope.
