Best RV Parks & Resorts near Trinidad, CA

627 Reviews

Trinidad offers several RV parks with varying amenities along California's northern coast. Elk Country RV Resort accommodates both big rigs and standard motorhomes with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections. The park features 30-amp service, picnic tables, and fire rings at most sites. According to one visitor, "The meadow, the elk herd, friendly people, good campground was probably our favorite stay that week." Camp Trinidad RV Resort provides 49 sites with 50-amp and 30-amp electrical hookups, while Sylvan Harbor RV Park offers full hookup sites nestled among trees with both tent and RV accommodations, plus cabin options for non-RV travelers.

Road access varies significantly between parks, with Highway 101 providing the main thoroughfare to most facilities. Dump stations are available at several locations including Mad River Rapids RV Park and Blue Lake Casino RV lot, which offers a free dump station. Cell service remains reliable at most parks, with one review noting "excellent Verizon service and good WiFi" at Emerald Forest. Seasonal considerations include significant rainfall and mud during winter months, making late spring through fall the optimal time for visits. Pet policies are generally accommodating, with most parks allowing pets on leash. Several locations like Blue Lake Casino offer short-term parking with 2-night maximum stays, making them suitable for travelers passing through rather than extended stays.

    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.

    Klamath River RV Park

    Best of the best

    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!

    Kamp Klamath RV Park and Campground

    Amazing Staff

    New fifth wheel with a sliding hitch was giving me issues with a back in site. The staff escorted the took the time to work with me to get the rig parked perfectly in the spot (great that he is a big rig driver!). The is a great location in the middle of the redwoods. Definately a ton of tent camping and lots of trails.

    Chinook RV Resort

    Quiet Riverside Park

    Campground with large, grassy, shaded sites. Small children’s playground.. Some back-ins sites are shaded. Separate tent area. Small store with game room, puzzles, and books to share.

    Shoreline RV Park

    Very convenient location!

    Less than 30 minutes from the Redwoods and the beach. Walking distance to target and a gas station with diesel. Very well kept yards, bathrooms, showers and laundry. Plus the full hookups are so convenient.
