Crescent City Harbor District

53 RV Sites

Redwood Harbor Village at the Crescent City Harbor District sits at 159 Starfish Way on the working harbor of Crescent City, California—the northernmost city on the California coast, positioned at the southern edge of the Del Norte County redwood forests and within 10 miles of both Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and the southern boundary of Redwood National Park. The harbor-front location gives it a character unique among North Coast campgrounds: boat docks, marina access, and a short walk to the harbor's shops and seafood restaurants combined with one of the most ecologically extraordinary redwood landscapes in the world just up the highway. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer serve both back-in and pull-through configurations accommodating RVs up to 45 feet. The park is big-rig friendly, and the site layout takes direct advantage of the harbor position with boat dock access and marina proximity for guests arriving or departing by water. Showers and restrooms keep the property's practical amenities functional, and South Beach—the long sand beach that curves south from the harbor mouth—is accessible on foot from the campground. The pet-friendly policy accommodates traveling animals in a coastal setting where the beach provides excellent off-leash terrain where conditions allow. Crescent City's harbor occupies the southernmost protected harbor on the Oregon-California border coast, where the Pacific's exposure and the absence of natural harbor protection along most of this coastline make Crescent City's anchorage commercially and recreationally significant in a way that stretches of wilderness coast to the north cannot match. The harbor's sportfishing fleet targets Chinook salmon, rockfish, lingcod, and Dungeness crab in the productive cold-water upwelling zone that makes the Del Norte coast one of the more biologically rich stretches of Pacific Coast in California. The working waterfront character of the marina—commercial crab boats alongside recreational fishing vessels and the Coast Guard station—gives the campground an authentically maritime atmosphere. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, 10 minutes northeast of Crescent City, protects the largest old-growth coast redwood forest in the Del Norte coast redwood ecosystem—the Smith River corridor within the park harbors individual trees exceeding 350 feet in height and several thousand years in age in groves that the Smith River's flooding has maintained by preventing the Douglas fir encroachment that characterizes drier redwood sites. The Howland Hill Road provides an unpaved drive through the park's interior that is one of the most immersive old-growth redwood experiences on the coast, accessible without the crowds that concentrate at Prairie Creek and Humboldt Redwoods farther south. Battery Point Lighthouse, on a tidal island accessible at low tide from Crescent City's waterfront, is one of California's most accessible active lighthouse museums. Redwood Harbor Village operates through the coastal California camping season in a climate where Del Norte County's consistent marine influence delivers fog, moderate temperatures, and the dramatic storm activity of the Pacific's winter swell season—storm-watching in January and February on this stretch of coast is among the most viscerally impressive experiences on the West Coast. Summer is peak season when the fog lifts regularly and the redwood parks reach their highest visitor density. Reserve ahead for summer holiday weekends when the harbor campground's combination of marina access and redwood proximity fills the property quickly.

Honey Bear By the Sea RV Resort

97 RV Sites, 19 Tent Sites

Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort in Gold Beach, Oregon, offers 97 RV sites and 19 tent sites at the mouth of the Rogue River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Ocean-view back-in and premium pet sites join pull-through, pull-in, and partial-hookup categories, with a recreation center, koi pond, and beach. Ninety-seven sites span standard back-in, back-in partial hookup, ocean-view back-in, premium back-in, premium pet, premium pull-thru, and pull-in categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The ocean-view category is the one to request, and the dedicated premium pet sites are an unusual and practical touch. Nineteen tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. A recreation center, game room, library, billiards, ping pong, basketball, and horseshoes fill the indoor side, with a beach, koi pond, walking trails, hiking, biking, and a dog park outdoors. Fishing, canoeing, and kayaking run from the river. Pets are welcome. The Rogue's legendary steelhead and salmon waters meet the Pacific here, with the Wild Rogue Wilderness inland and the Oregon Coast's most dramatic shoreline running north and south. Summer and the fall salmon runs drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Chinook RV Resort

15 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Framed by towering coast redwoods and positioned along the U.S. Highway 101 corridor near Klamath in Del Norte County, Chinook RV Resort offers a natural retreat at the intersection of the Klamath River and the Pacific Coast—one of Northern California's most scenically distinctive settings and a prime gateway for exploring the old-growth redwood forests that define the region's character. The combination of riverside proximity, towering tree canopy, and immediate access to Redwood National and State Parks makes the resort a compelling basecamp for guests drawn to Northern California's redwood coast. The resort accommodates guests in RV sites, rental cabins, and tent sites, providing lodging options suited to different camping styles and group preferences. An on-site lake with a lakefront fire gathering area serves as the social hub of the property in the evenings, where guests collect to unwind after days spent on the trails and beaches of the surrounding park system. The property's compact, nature-forward character gives it a quieter atmosphere compared to larger resort operations elsewhere along the Highway 101 corridor, and the lakefront fire setting is among the most atmospheric features of an evening spent at the resort. Redwood National Park—combined with Prairie Creek Redwoods, Del Norte Coast Redwoods, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Parks—forms one of the most intact old-growth redwood ecosystems remaining on the Pacific Coast, and Chinook RV Resort sits in close proximity to several of the system's most rewarding access points. Fern Canyon in Prairie Creek, where vertical canyon walls are carpeted in five-finger ferns, is accessible for wading hikes during summer. Enderts Beach offers a secluded cove with tide pools and driftwood-covered shores, and High Bluff Overlook provides sweeping coastal views and seasonal gray whale watching during winter and spring migration along the coast. The town of Klamath straddles the Klamath River at its mouth, and the river's lower section is productive for salmon and steelhead—a significant draw for anglers who pair a resort stay with fishing on one of California's premier coastal rivers. The Trees of Mystery attraction in Klamath, featuring a gondola ride through old-growth canopy and a Native American museum, adds a family-friendly option close by. The Redwood Coast Music Festival in Eureka brings jazz, blues, and folk performances to the coast each April for guests timing their visit to the spring shoulder season. Chinook RV Resort is best positioned for late spring through early fall visits, when the redwood parks are fully accessible and the coastal climate is most accommodating for outdoor activity. Summer fog is common along the Del Norte coast, moderating temperatures but sometimes limiting visibility at coastal overlooks during morning hours. Reservations are recommended well ahead of summer and fall peak periods, when demand for Redwood National Park-adjacent accommodations consistently outpaces available supply along this stretch of the Northern California coast. The property's lakeside social setting and its position within the redwood park network make it a well-rounded Northern California basecamp for guests who want both active trail access and a relaxed evening atmosphere at the end of each day.

Bandon RV Park

45 RV Sites, 1 Apartment

The Oregon Coast has no shortage of beautiful small towns, but Bandon occupies a special position — a genuine fishing village with an artistic soul and one of the most dramatic rocky coastlines in the Pacific Northwest. Face Rock Beach, the Coquille River Lighthouse, and Old Town's galleries and crab shacks form a character that's been carefully preserved even as Bandon has become better known. Bandon RV Park is the front door to this town — a well-maintained, full-hookup park just a quarter-mile stroll from the waterfront that has kept RVers returning to this stretch of southern Oregon coast for years. The park offers 45 full hookup sites with non-metered 30- and 50-amp electric service, fresh water, and sewer connections. Free cable TV and complimentary Wi-Fi come standard, setting the baseline well above parks that charge extra for basic connectivity. Heated restrooms and showers are clean and well-maintained throughout the season, and coin-operated laundry facilities handle the practical needs of longer stays. Bandon RV Park is pet-friendly and accommodates both short overnight stays and extended visits — the park's reputation for cleanliness and attentive management shows in repeat visitor rates that speak for themselves. The Coquille River defines Bandon's waterfront character. Old Town sits along the river's northern bank, where crab pots stack up on the docks, fishing charters load up in the early morning, and restaurants serve Dungeness crab pulled from these waters the same day it reaches your plate. Crabbing and coastal fishing are serious pursuits here — the river mouth and the nearshore ocean offer exceptional opportunities for rockfish, lingcod, and Dungeness crab that give local seafood a hard-won freshness. Face Rock Beach is within easy walking or biking range for tide pooling, coastal wildflower viewing, and dramatic seastack photography. Golf enthusiasts will recognize Bandon as the home of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort — one of the country's most celebrated golf destinations, with seven links-style courses overlooking the Pacific. Bandon Crossings, another well-regarded course, offers a different but equally rewarding experience. Bullards Beach State Park, just north of town, provides additional beach access, hiking trails, and one of the most photogenic lighthouses on the coast. For longer day trips, Crater Lake National Park is accessible to the east, and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area lies to the north. Bandon RV Park operates seasonally and fills consistently during summer and early fall when the coastal weather is at its most reliable. The town's famous Cranberry Festival in October draws visitors at the tail end of the season. Spring arrivals get the benefit of whale migration viewing and the first flush of coastal wildflowers with lighter tourist traffic. Winter camping in Bandon appeals to a quieter crowd who appreciate dramatic storm watching and empty Old Town streets. Reserve your site early for summer stays, and come ready to taste the best Dungeness crab the Oregon Coast has to offer.

Mad River Rapids RV Park

12 RV Sites

Mad River Rapids RV Park in Arcata, California, offers 12 full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet, open year-round on the Mad River's coastal terrace in Humboldt County. A game room with billiards, ping pong, and an arcade, plus on-site dining and a general store, make this a full-service base on the Redwood Coast. Twelve pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 70 feet, with picnic tables. The pull-through configuration and big-rig-friendly layout suit large coaches, though note the 30-amp service if you run high-draw appliances. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the sites. If you provide a mobile number when booking, you may receive up to two text notifications a week; reply STOP to opt out. On-site recreation covers the region's rainy stretches well. A recreation center and game room hold billiards, ping pong, an arcade, and basketball, with on-site dining for meals and a playground for families. The Mad River runs alongside the property, with boating, a golf course, a casino, and wine and beer tasting all nearby. Pets are welcome. Arcata sits about 280 miles north of San Francisco near the junction of the Mad River and Humboldt Bay, where the world's tallest trees meet wild Pacific beaches. The university city has built a distinctive identity around ecological values and independent commerce, and serves both US-101 travelers and visitors drawn to the redwood forests. The park operates year-round, which matters on a coast where many properties close. Summer redwood traffic is the peak — reserve ahead for July and August.

Lucky Loggers RV Park

76 RV Sites

Lucky Loggers RV Park in Coos Bay, Oregon, offers 76 full-hookup RV sites within walking distance of downtown, with 30 and 50-amp service in back-in and pull-through categories behind a gated entrance. Boat docks, a recreation center, walking trails, and a dog park serve the largest city on the Oregon coast between Newport and the California border. Seventy-six sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple — confirm length limits with the park for your rig. Cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Boat docks give direct water access, with a recreation center, walking trails, and dog park filling the grounds. A state park, golf course, and beaches are all nearby. Pets are welcome. The walkable downtown position is the distinguishing feature — most Oregon coast RV parks require driving for a meal or a pint, and this one does not. Beyond the town itself, the South Oregon Coast offers one of the most varied concentrations of outdoor recreation on the West Coast: the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area to the north, the Coos Bay estuary's fishing and crabbing, Shore Acres and Sunset Bay State Parks on the Cape Arago loop, and the wild beaches running south toward Bandon. Summer is peak on the Oregon coast, when the fog lifts and the dunes and beaches are at their best. Reserve well ahead for July through September, with easier availability and dramatic winter storm watching in the off-season.

Coho RV Park & Marina

51 RV Sites

Anchored on the Umpqua River at the heart of Oregon's central coast, Coho RV Park & Marina offers a full-service waterfront experience in Reedsport—a small town with outsized appeal for anglers, sand dune adventurers, and wildlife watchers. Located at 1580 Winchester Avenue, the park sits along the lower Umpqua where the river broadens before emptying into Winchester Bay and the Pacific Ocean just a few miles downstream. Pull-through sites extend to 70 feet, welcoming big rigs that other coastal parks often can't accommodate, and the combination of marina access, river views, and proximity to two of Oregon's most dramatic natural landscapes makes Coho a standout along this stretch of the Oregon coast. Full hookups with 30/50-amp service provide reliable utilities at every site, and the park's layout accommodates large motorhomes and fifth wheels without the tight maneuvering common at many coastal campgrounds. Showers, laundry facilities, and free WiFi keep daily life comfortable, while the boat launch and fish cleaning station cater to the serious anglers who make up a core part of Coho's returning clientele. A recreation center offers a gathering place for evenings, and a nearby lake provides additional fishing opportunities within the park. The park is pet-friendly throughout, recognizing that coastal road trips are simply better with dogs running the dunes ahead of you. Reedsport occupies the Oregon coast's mid-point, where the Umpqua River valley opens to meet the Pacific through a dramatic estuary flanked by dunes, forest, and wetland. The river runs rich with salmon and steelhead—fall chinook and spring chinook, summer and winter steelhead—sustaining the serious fishing culture that defines small Oregon coast towns. Bald eagles perch in the snags along the riverbank, harbor seals haul out on the sandflats, and the tidal marshes around Winchester Bay produce remarkable shorebird concentrations during the spring and fall migration seasons. Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area begins virtually at Coho's back door, extending 40 miles along the coast and encompassing the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in the United States. OHV riding, sandboarding, hiking on the open dune face, and watching the interplay of wind and sand across this extraordinary landscape keep visitors occupied for days. The Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, just three miles east of Reedsport on Highway 38, hosts a resident Roosevelt elk herd that grazes the bottomland meadows year-round and provides outstanding close-up wildlife viewing from a safe roadside pullout. Umpqua River Lighthouse and the nearby historic community of Winchester Bay complete the local circuit. Fall chinook season, typically August through November, draws the largest crowds to Coho's boat launch as anglers pursue trophy salmon in the Umpqua's lower reaches. Summer is peak dune season, with OHV enthusiasts, hikers, and day visitors filling the recreation area from Memorial Day onward. Spring brings the gray whale migration close to the Oregon coast, and early season steelhead keeps anglers busy through the persistent winter rain. Reserve your pull-through site at Coho RV Park & Marina and wake up on the Umpqua River ready for whatever the Oregon coast has in store.

Umpqua's Last Resort

15 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 1 Glamping Site, 1 RV Rental + Campsite Package, 2 Vintage RV Rentals

Umpqua's Last Resort sits along the North Umpqua River in Idleyld Park, Oregon, deep within the Umpqua National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of Douglas County — a campground built at the intersection of two of the Pacific Northwest's most compelling outdoor experiences: the North Umpqua River, one of the most celebrated fly fishing rivers in the western United States, and the highway corridor that leads east through the Cascades to Crater Lake National Park, the deepest lake in America. The resort's RV sites and wilderness cabins give guests the accommodation infrastructure for extended stays in a forested river canyon environment that improves the longer a visitor stays with it. RV sites in forested settings along the river corridor and wilderness cabin accommodations give guests a range of accommodation comfort levels in a setting where the primary appeal is the river itself — the North Umpqua's marble-green water, the basalt formations along the canyon walls, and the old-growth Douglas fir canopy overhead create a river environment whose visual quality is matched in the Pacific Northwest by very few streams not in a designated National Park. The campground's position along this specific stretch of the North Umpqua makes it one of the most naturally distinguished campground sites in the Oregon Cascades. The North Umpqua River is internationally recognized among fly fishing communities as one of the great wild trout streams in the American West — a river where summer steelhead, rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout inhabit the cold, clear pools and runs below forested basalt canyon walls in a setting of extraordinary natural beauty. The North Umpqua's native summer steelhead run supports one of the few remaining wild steelhead fisheries in the Oregon Cascades, and the river's fly-fishing-only designation through much of its upper reaches protects the quality of both the angling and the fishery resource in a way that preserves the experience for guests arriving specifically for the fishing. Umpqua Hot Springs, accessible by trail a short distance from the highway east of the resort, provides open-air natural thermal soaking at a series of tiered pools above the North Umpqua's canyon — a geothermal experience rare in western Oregon and a restorative contrast to a day of river fishing or hiking the numerous trails in the Umpqua National Forest. The 79-mile North Umpqua Trail, running alongside the river from the resort area east toward the Diamond Lake basin, provides one of the most consistently beautiful hiking and mountain biking routes in the Oregon Cascades. Crater Lake National Park, accessible via Oregon Highway 138 east through the Cascades from the resort, is the defining regional landmark — the 1,943-foot-deep caldera lake left by the collapse of Mount Mazama 7,700 years ago holds water of such extraordinary blue clarity that photographs consistently fail to convey the actual visual experience of the crater rim overlook. Umpqua's Last Resort operates through the Oregon Cascade summer season, with the North Umpqua's summer steelhead run from July through September and the Crater Lake visitor season representing the property's dual peak windows. Reserve well ahead for the steelhead season, when North Umpqua fishing guides book their preferred lodging corridor months in advance.

Antlers RV Park & Campground

65 RV Sites, 39 Tent Sites

Antlers RV Park and Campground in Lakehead, California, offers 65 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 39 tent sites overlooking Shasta Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. A single back-in category means every guest gets the same spec, with a private boat launch, slip rentals, outdoor pool, and general store five minutes off I-5. Sixty-five back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One category and no guesswork — and 75 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow, which is generous for a lakeside property on sloping terrain. Thirty-nine tent sites, cabins, and trailer rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A private boat launch, boat rentals, and slip rentals open the lake for boating and swimming, with an outdoor pool, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, ping pong, horseshoes, a playground, and picnicking filling the rest. Planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Directions southbound: take the second Lakehead exit (702) for Antlers Road / Lakeshore Drive, turn left, right onto Antlers Road at the stop sign, and continue about 1.5 miles. Shasta Lake is California's largest reservoir, and this is one of the few private camping resorts that genuinely overlooks the water — houseboating, bass fishing, and the Shasta Caverns are all here, with Mount Shasta rising to the north. Summer lake season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead for June through August.

Eugene Mobile Village-RV Park

4 RV Sites

Eugene Mobile Village and RV Park in Eugene, Oregon, offers full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, in the Glenwood neighborhood on the Eugene-Springfield border. The park has been welcoming travelers since 1945, with laundry, showers, and site WiFi. Pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Every site pulls through, which suits the overnight and short-stay traffic the park mainly serves. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. This is a small property — call ahead rather than counting on a space. Pets are welcome. The amenity set stays practical, with fishing, biking, and hiking from the surrounding area and boating nearby. The value here is an urban location with genuine hookups, in a city where that combination is scarce. The position is convenient in a way few campgrounds manage. The park sits just off I-5 on the border of Eugene and Springfield, a minute's drive from downtown Springfield's shopping and dining, with the University of Oregon stadium a few minutes away. Beyond the city, the McKenzie River fly fishing corridor, the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, and the Three Sisters Wilderness are all accessible — Eugene is arguably the most outdoor-recreation-accessible university city in the Pacific Northwest. University event weekends, particularly home football games, tighten Eugene lodging considerably. Reserve well ahead if your stay overlaps one.

Crescent RV Park

10 Tent Sites

Crescent RV Park in Crescent, Oregon, offers full-hookup RV sites and 10 tent sites operating year-round at the eastern base of the Cascade Range, with a big-rig-friendly layout, laundry, showers, and WiFi. The year-round operation is the distinguishing fact here — winter visitors get full infrastructure when the region's ski and snowmobile season is at its peak. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric, with a big-rig-friendly layout for larger coaches, and 10 tent sites cover simpler camping. A dump station, restrooms, hot showers, and coin-operated laundry run year-round, and WiFi reaches the park. The Crescent commercial corridor is within walking distance — Ken's Sporting Goods, a gas station, a convenience store, restaurants, and a US Forest Service station — which removes the provisioning drive that most rural campgrounds require. Pets are welcome. On-site facilities are practical rather than recreational: the dump station, laundry, showers, and restrooms are what a year-round park in this climate needs, and the big-rig-friendly layout means long coaches can get in and out in winter conditions. National forest ATV trails start a quarter mile east of the park, which puts off-road riding within walking distance of your site. Fishing, boating, hiking, biking, and stargazing all run from the immediate area, with skiing nearby in season. Crescent sits in Klamath County where the pumice desert and ponderosa pine of the Oregon high desert meet the Cascades. The Cascade Lakes Scenic Highway is under nine miles out, Crescent Lake is 20 miles, and Crater Lake is 55 — with Waldo and Paulina Lakes and Salt Creek Falls in between. Summer brings lake and hiking traffic; winter brings skiers and snowmobilers to a park that stays open and fully serviced when others in the region close. Both seasons run steady, so reserve ahead either way, and expect the winter months to draw a different crowd entirely — sledders and skiers running the Willamette Pass and Mount Bachelor terrain rather than the summer lake circuit.
