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.

Ramblin' Redwoods Campground & RV Park

66 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites

Ramblin' Redwoods Campground and RV Park in Crescent City, California, offers 66 RV sites, five cabins, and 20 tent sites along US-101, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories join a general store, community fire pit, pet washing station, and dog park. Sixty-six sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, pull-thru 50-amp, and pull-thru water-and-electric 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Five cabins and 20 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side — the pet wash is genuinely useful on a coast this wet and muddy. Walking trails, a playground, community fire pit, dog park, horseshoes, and hiking fill the grounds, with a river, beaches, a casino, and a golf course nearby. Pets are welcome. Crescent City sits minutes from the entrance to Redwood National and State Parks, a complex of protected land preserving the tallest trees on earth in a setting of Pacific fog, fern-carpeted forest floors, and cold clear rivers. The Smith River, Jedediah Smith Redwoods, and the harbor's crabbing fleet are all close, with the Oregon border just north. Summer is peak on the far north coast. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

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.

AtRivers Edge RV Resort

71 RV Sites, 11 Cabins, 2 Yurts, 1 Airstream

AtRivers Edge RV Resort in Brookings, Oregon, offers 71 RV sites, 11 cabins, and three Airstream and yurt units along a half-mile of the Chetco River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 70 feet. River front and river view categories sit behind a gated entrance, open all year, a mile from the ocean. Seventy-one sites span deluxe back-in, premium pull-through east, river front back-in, river view back-in, and river view pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Accessible sites are available. Eleven cabins and three Airstream and yurt units round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, personal mailboxes, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. The river frontage is the property's identity — half a mile of Chetco River with fishing directly from camp, walking trails, a community fire pit, and a beach. Planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. The Chetco River valley position is the resort's real advantage: it sits just outside the coastal fog and wind belt that defines the Brookings oceanfront, creating a temperate microclimate of unusual mildness in one of Oregon's warmest coastal communities. The ocean beaches are a mile away, an 18-hole championship golf course is nearby, and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness and its scenic nature trails begin close by. Summer is peak on the southern Oregon coast. Reserve well ahead, and request a river front site early.

Sunny Valley Campground

Sunny Valley Campground in Wolf Creek, Oregon, offers large, shaded full-hookup RV sites on a big-rig-friendly property along the I-5 corridor between Medford and Roseburg. An outdoor pool, hot tub, clubhouse, and general store serve both through-travelers and guests basing themselves in the Rogue River country. Full-hookup RV sites accommodate large rigs, with the shade a genuine advantage in southern Oregon summers. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm months, with a clubhouse, community fire pit, and playground on the grounds and volleyball and horseshoes besides. Hiking, biking, and swimming run from the area, with planned activities through the season and a national park within reach. The campground sits near the confluence of Grave Creek and the Rogue River, in a stretch of southwestern Oregon defined by rugged canyon terrain, dense mixed conifer forest, and one of the premier wild-and-scenic river systems on the Pacific Coast. That makes it a practical basecamp for the whitewater, hiking, and natural heritage of the greater Grants Pass and Rogue River region, as much as a convenient stop for travelers passing through. The park serves the I-5 corridor year-round, with summer rafting and hiking season driving the heaviest demand alongside cross-state travel. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends, when the Rogue corridor fills with both through-traffic and destination visitors.

Camp Trinidad RV Resort

44 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Camp Trinidad RV Resort in Trinidad, California, has been a cherished destination on the Humboldt County North Coast for over 40 years — a locally owned resort in one of the most naturally spectacular and most ecologically intact sections of the California coastline, where the Trinidad Head's sea stack and offshore rock archipelago, the old-growth coastal redwood forests within minutes of the campground, and the Humboldt Bay and Patrick's Point State Park corridor give guests an outdoor recreation and natural beauty concentration that the Northern California coast specifically delivers away from the more trafficked Bay Area and Mendocino coast sections. The resort's four decades of North Coast heritage and the local ownership's deep connection to the Trinidad area's natural character sustain the authentic identity that long-established independently owned campgrounds maintain against the regional franchise alternatives. The resort's full-service RV sites give guests the practical infrastructure for comfortable North Coast stays in an area where the narrow coastal road geography and the undeveloped character of the surrounding public lands limit the campground inventory to a small number of well-positioned properties. The resort's long-established identity as the Trinidad coastal campground gives it the repeat visitor loyalty that multi-decade operations build — guests who have camped here for years return specifically for the property's character rather than searching the regional market for alternatives. Pets are welcome. Trinidad State Beach, immediately north of the resort in Trinidad's historic coastal community, is one of the most photogenic beaches in California — a small cove beach of dark sand, sea stacks, and the Trinidad Head overlook trail whose views of the offshore rock formations and the Pacific horizon from the lighthouse trail above the cove create one of the classic North Coast vistas. The Trinidad fishing pier and the Trinidad Harbor's commercial fishing fleet sustain the working maritime character that distinguishes Trinidad from purely residential or resort coastal communities and give the town its genuine North Coast fishing village identity. Patrick's Point State Park, five miles north of Trinidad on the same rocky coastal terrace, preserves 640 acres of Sitka spruce forest and coastal bluff overlooking one of the most dramatic rocky coastlines in Northern California — the agates on Agate Beach, the Sumeg Village reconstruction of a traditional Yurok community, and the Wedding Rock and Agate Beach overlooks give the park a comprehensive interpretation of both the natural and cultural landscape of the Northern California coast. Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, 30 miles north on US Highway 101, protects old-growth coast redwood forest with a Roosevelt elk herd visible from Elk Prairie's meadow access road in one of the most consistently reliable large mammal wildlife viewing sites in California. Camp Trinidad RV Resort operates through the North Coast's camping season, with the summer months from June through August representing the primary dry-season window when the Pacific fog characteristic of the Humboldt coast is most reliably absent during the afternoons. Spring wildflowers along the coastal bluffs and the fall steelhead return to the Trinidad area's Freshwater Creek and Mad River sustain the camping demand into the shoulder seasons. Redwood National Park's Lady Bird Johnson Grove and the Tall Trees Grove (home to several of the world's tallest trees) are accessible via ranger-issued permits from Orick, 25 miles north. Reserve sites ahead for the summer peak when the Humboldt County coast's limited campground capacity fills from the Bay Area and Sacramento markets.

Turtle Rock RV Resort

6 RV Sites

Turtle Rock RV Resort in Gold Beach, Oregon, offers six RV sites with 30 and 50-amp full hookups and cable TV, sized for rigs to 85 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Site categories include creek view back-ins and — distinctively — a back-in site with its own hot tub, on a small resort near where the Rogue River meets the Pacific. Six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits. Categories run standard back-in, creek view back-in, and back-in with hot tub, the last a genuinely uncommon feature at an RV site. A general store, propane fills, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. Group stays require a one-night non-refundable deposit per reserved site at booking; group facility rates are available by phone. On-site recreation is deeper than six sites would suggest. A hot tub and sauna, a game room with billiards, a disc golf course, bike rentals, volleyball, horseshoes, and corn hole fill the property, with on-site dining for meals and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Gold Beach sits in Curry County where the Rogue River — federally designated Wild and Scenic — meets the Pacific at the historic bar. The Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor's viewpoint trails run south along some of the most spectacular and least-visited coastline in the contiguous United States, and Rogue River jet boat tours, coastal hiking, and year-round crabbing and ocean fishing all run from town. Summer is peak on the southern Oregon coast. With six sites, reserve as early as you can.

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe

14 RV Sites, 8 Cottages, 1 Yurt

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe in Junction City, California, occupies the banks of the Trinity River in Trinity County — a riverside resort in one of California's most remote and most scenically dramatic inland counties, where the Trinity River flows cold and clear from the Trinity Alps Wilderness through a forested canyon that supports world-class fly fishing, whitewater rafting, and the kind of genuine wilderness character that Highway 299's remote corridor delivers for travelers willing to make the drive between Redding and the Humboldt coast. The resort's combination of cottages, a 30-foot yurt, pet-friendly accommodations, and full-hookup RV sites gives guests a range of accommodation formats suited to the river canyon environment, and the on-site café — built into a 2,000-square-foot straw bale structure overlooking the Trinity — provides the culinary experience that makes staying at Strawhouse a more complete destination than simply a camping infrastructure. Cottages including the Creekside Cottage and Suncrest House, the distinctive 30-foot yurt, and RV sites positioned across from the café with private fishing and direct Trinity River access give guests multiple ways to inhabit the same riverside setting. The resort's family-friendly orientation and the pet-friendly policy across multiple accommodation types make it accessible to the full range of traveling household compositions, and the private river access at the RV site level gives campers the direct Trinity River contact that motivated their drive to Trinity County in the first place. The café's organic coffee, full meals, and river view make it a natural gathering point for both resort guests and Highway 299 travelers. The Trinity River through Junction City and the Trinity County corridor is one of California's premier wild and scenic rivers — a designated Wild and Scenic River with exceptional water quality, substantial populations of summer and winter steelhead, spring chinook salmon, and rainbow trout in a river setting of old-growth Douglas fir and ponderosa pine forest. The Trinity River fly fishing tradition draws anglers from across California and the Pacific Northwest specifically to this corridor, and the combination of drift boat float fishing and wade fishing through the green-water pools accessible from the resort's private access makes Strawhouse the natural base for fishing-focused Trinity County stays. Whitewater rafting on the Trinity River, accessible through outfitters operating from the Junction City area, provides Class II through IV whitewater through the canyon sections that the river's gradient and volume produce in the right-season conditions — typically from snowmelt through early summer. Trinity Lake, formed by Trinity Dam upstream near Weaverville, adds flatwater recreation, bass fishing, and lake camping options to the broader Trinity County recreation available from a Strawhouse base. The Trinity Alps Wilderness, rising to over 9,000 feet above the resort's valley floor, provides trail access into some of the most alpine and least-visited wilderness terrain in Northern California. Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe operates through Trinity County's outdoor season, with the steelhead and salmon fishing windows driving the most fishing-specific visitor traffic — fall chinook from September through November and winter steelhead from December through March. Summer whitewater and general resort season runs May through September when the café operates at full capacity and river access from the RV sites is most actively used. Reserve accommodations ahead for fall fishing season and summer rafting weekends, when Trinity County's limited lodging inventory fills from the Redding, Sacramento, and Bay Area markets.

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.

Coastal Pines RV Resort

59 RV Sites

On Humboldt Bay in Eureka, California—in the redwood coast's most significant commercial city, where the Victorian architecture of Old Town, the fishing pier culture of the bay's working harbor, and the 40-mile radius that contains both Redwood National Park and the Coast Range's most intact temperate rainforest create a Northern California stopping point of genuine and multilayered quality—Coastal Pines RV Resort provides 59 full hookup sites with complimentary high-speed WiFi, 75-plus satellite television channels, and walkable access to the 6.3-mile Humboldt Bay waterfront trail that connects the resort to Old Town's restaurants, galleries, Victorian neighborhoods, and the waterfront character that Eureka has maintained more successfully than any other North Coast city. The trail access, the Old Town proximity, and the Redwood parks' 40-minute driving range make Coastal Pines the campground that Eureka's layered visitor experience deserves. Fifty-nine full hookup sites include 45 pull-through positions, accommodating the range of RV lengths up to 45 feet with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. Complimentary high-speed WiFi covers the property's full footprint, and 75-plus satellite channels at each site provide the entertainment infrastructure for extended-stay guests. Modern shower rooms and restrooms, coin-operated laundry, and mobile RV repair service available on request complete the practical infrastructure. The 6.3-mile Humboldt Bay waterfront trail accessible directly from the resort provides the most immediately impactful amenity: a pedestrian route along the bay's edge connecting the campground to Old Town Eureka's restaurants, bars, boutiques, galleries, and the Victorian architecture that makes Eureka's historic core a walking tour of specific and photographable quality. The Redwood Market adjacent to the campground provides gas and diesel with the proximity that eliminates the navigation detour that fuel stops typically impose on arriving guests. Old Town Eureka's Victorian architecture reflects the wealth that the Humboldt County timber industry generated in the late 19th century and deployed in the construction of the painted-lady houses, the ornate commercial facades, and the Carson Mansion—considered one of the finest examples of Victorian residential architecture in the United States—that define the district's visual character. The Blue Ox Millworks, operating as a working Victorian mill and artisan complex within the Old Town area, demonstrates the craft skills that built the original houses and continues to produce the gingerbread millwork that restoration projects across the country purchase for historically accurate renovations. The Samoa Cookhouse—a surviving lumber camp cookhouse across the bay, operating as a restaurant that serves lumber-camp-style meals at long tables with no menu choices—provides a historically specific dining experience that exists nowhere else in California. The Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, accessible by the bay trail or by car from the campground, provides birding access to one of the Pacific Flyway's most important wintering shorebird habitats. Redwood National and State Parks—encompassing the world's tallest trees in old-growth redwood groves accessible on trails ranging from half-mile easy walks to all-day backcountry routes—are 30 to 50 minutes north on US 101, making Eureka a practical base for multiple days of redwood exploration without paying the premium pricing of the Klamath and Crescent City campground markets. Coastal Pines RV Resort is open year-round in Eureka's cool maritime climate, where the fog and mild temperatures that the ocean moderates make every season comfortable for RV occupancy. The redwood parks are open year-round, Old Town is active year-round, and the bay trail's coastal scenery is as rewarding in the winter gray as in the summer's occasional clear days. Reserve your pull-through site, walk the bay trail to Old Town for dinner, and let Humboldt Bay and the redwood coast earn the Northern California reputation that travelers who stop here almost always wish they had planned more days for.

Fifty-eight sites span standard back-in 50/30-amp, standard pull-thru, deluxe back-in 50/30-amp, premium back-in 30/50-amp, and premium pull-thru 50/30-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits.

A hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, game room, arcade, tennis, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, walking trails, a lake, playground, and dog park filling the rest. A state park is nearby. The Klamath Basin sits at just over 4,100 feet, surrounded by high desert valleys, ancient lava beds, and vast wetlands that form one of the Pacific Flyway's most important migratory corridors — the waterfowl concentrations here in spring and fall are genuinely spectacular, and the winter bald eagle population is the largest in the lower 48. Crater Lake and Lava Beds National Monument are both within reach. Summer and the spring and fall migrations drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
