Stafford RV Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

RV travelers heading to the Avenue of the Giants will find Stafford RV Park positioned just off Highway 101 in Scotia, providing convenient access to the redwood corridor. The park accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for shorter-term guests.

The campground operates year-round with a mix of long-term residents and travelers, creating what one reviewer described as a "run down, but in a comfortable kind of way" atmosphere. Sites sit among trees with pull-through options available. The facility includes free showers, though campers should note the water contains high iron content that leaves rusty residue. A laundry room operates on quarters at $2 per load, with posted warnings about potential staining from the mineral-heavy water.

Beyond RV sites, the property features small cabins and a distinctive tree house rental, plus a tent-only area priced at $30. Staff provides friendly service, and the location draws loggers and seasonal workers alongside recreational campers. "Staff was very friendly and welcoming," noted one visitor who appreciated the easy highway access and proximity to Scotia Lodge.

Cell service works well for major carriers, and the park accepts reservations with Passport America discounts available. The quiet setting appeals to solo travelers and those using it as a base for exploring the redwood region.

Friendly and easy

We stayed here for half price with the Passport America discount - we paid $25 for a pull through E/ W site (normally$50), and refreshingly there were no taxes or fees added on to the price. We almost didn’t stay here, as on the Passport America site they state that they do not allow certain breeds of dogs, and we generally try to not support places that discriminate against certain breeds, even though our large dog is mixed breed dog who could pass for any number of breeds. But nobody mentioned anything about dogs when we arrived, and we saw no mention of it anywhere on their website or other signage, so we ended up staying. 

It’s one of those run down, but in a comfortable kind of way, places. There’s a cute tree house and cute cabins (tiny), as well as a tent-only area for $30. There’s also a dump station (free for campers), a laundry room, and free showers. The showers were run down but clean. We ended up not using the laundry- they are $2 each for washer and dryer (they take quarters, and there’s no change machine), with a sign saying that your clothes may stain due to the iron in the water, and that you need to shake out the sawdust from your clothes before washing them (I guess a lot of loggers stay here?). Also, the water jug we had filled with their water was full of rusty red residue at the bottom, ick. And that water is what we used to fill our onboard RV tank (and that’s with using a filter). The RV park seems to be mostly long-termers or seasonal campers, it was very quiet and devoid of people when we stayed here after a holiday weekend. 

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We forgot to ask about wifi, but cell reception was good for Verizon and ATT. The park is nicely situated among the trees with an easy access from the highway, right near the entrance to the Avenue of the Giants. Would stay here again.

Okay, but not great.

A little turned off my religious messages on the signage outside, instructions to dress ‘modestly’ and a long list of dog breeds not allowed. But was clean, quiet, and there was hot water. 30 amp and water hookups at the rv spot, no sewer hook up, but they did have a dump.

Homey Place

No charge for showers, decent spot for solo female travelers, super cute tree house to rent for a good price, and other cabins. Keep in mind that anytime your within 30 min of Eureka, CA there will be sketchy people acting nefarious ways. That being said, don’t make friends with the locals, especially cause this spot doesn’t seem to have a limit on how many nights you can stay, so it seems the locals camp there to get away from their families. But drama will follow you...
