Camping in the Redwoods

Camping at Rambling Redwoods offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature, surrounded by the majestic Redwoods. The campground provides a variety of amenities, including a playground and horseshoe pits, as well as a dog wash area for your furry friends. Well-maintained bathrooms and showers featuring good water pressure—a welcome comfort in the great outdoors. The availability of a laundry room adds a touch of convenience to the rustic camping experience. We were in site 31 which was a very level dirt pull-thru and parked our truck between two huge trees. My only negative thought is that the back of the site only had a couple of logs separating sites 31 and 30. I may not have felt this an issue had the people at site 30 kept their dogs on a leash which would have prevented their three dogs from coming over and trying to attack my dog. Yes, the park has a leash rule. When planning a trip to the Redwood State and National Park, mapping out your destinations is crucial, as some attractions can be quite a distance from the campground.

Nature at its best

This campground is surrounded by old growth redwoods. Bathrooms and showers are super clean and taken care of daily. They have a laundry room that’s open 24 hours a day . Cell service With Verizon was OK. 5G jet pack makes it possible. After the stay we booked the same time next year for two weeks. I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

Wooded!

This 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.

Has potential

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.

Poorly Managed

As a small biz owner, I always try and give the benefit of the doubt before writing a negative review. But I felt compelled to call out our experience here after being ignored in person.

I didn’t mind that we paid over $60/ night for a spot here mid-week). I also didn’t complain when we were assigned the spot directly next to the dump station (even they don’t show that on the online map during reserve, so you think you’re getting a good spot near a grassy area- beware). But when I encountered a homeless woman sitting upright on a chair, completely silent, in the bathroom without a mask on during a 3am bathroom visit the first night, I had to speak up. She was still there at 8am the next morning. I brought it up to the staff and they acted like they had no idea what I was talking about, and “they hadn’t seen anyone and they were just in the bathroom.” A ridiculous response which left me speechless.

I ran into her again the second night + the bathroom was gross at this point. It hadn’t been checked since our arrival, the soap was out, no Tp in the stalls, the toilets weren’t flushed, garbage overflowing.

I emailed the staff (it was after hours) and requested they please check the bathroom and also clean up. The next morning she was gone, and it looked like a lame attempt at cleaning had been made, although a little too late.

Nice people and great trees

The campground changed ownership in the last year or so, and they are trying to make upgrades. Facilities were clean and check in was easy. Some spots are close enough to hear highway noise but it wasn’t bad. There are couple great trails through Redwoods. We were there during COVID and forest fires so most activities were closed.

Not what I was expecting

When we stayed: Mid-May, Monday-Friday

Overall Experience: a beautiful park that's undergoing improvements but I would not go back.

Camp Sites: the whole park is forrested and very beautiful - they have cabins, tent sites and RV sites. We reserved in advance but got a tiny site right across from the bathrooms, laundry, and office so there was little privacy and barely any space in the site. We asked to move to a different site but they said they were either reserved for others or under repair. The park seemed about half empty so not sure why we couldn't move to a bigger site. Many of the other sites were more secluded and a bit larger, so maybe we were just unlucky.

A Couple Disappointments: their website claimed there were walking trails and off-leash dog walking trails. The 3 people in the office didn't even know these trails existed and when we found the trails, they were super short, basically just a quick walk behind all the camp sites. Also there was a ton of construction starting at 9am Tuesday morning re-doing the gravel road around the park.

Location: it's right on hwy 101 so lots of traffic noise. Also, super close to Jedidiah Smith Redwoods State Park for beautiful hiking and old growth redwoods. The campground is also across the street from the local prison...

Bathrooms: clean and large, good hot showers.
