Lakeshore Resort - Lakehead

39 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 1 Cottage

On the banks of Lake Shasta in Lakehead, California—five minutes off Interstate 5 in Shasta County where the Sacramento River, McCloud River, and Pit River meet behind Shasta Dam to create California's largest reservoir at 29,000 surface acres and 365 miles of shoreline in the Klamath Mountains' forested landscape—Lakeshore Resort provides a historic lakeside retreat with 39 RV sites and 11 cozy cabins under towering ponderosa pines, a seasonal swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, and the position as one of the few private resorts directly overlooking Lake Shasta's waters, with boat launches and swimming accessible within minutes of the resort property. For I-5 travelers making the run between Sacramento and Portland who want more than a truck stop, and for Shasta Lake anglers and houseboaters who want a comfortable land base, Lakeshore delivers the lake character the drive north is working toward. The 39 RV sites provide hookup service under the ponderosa pine canopy in the Lakehead community on the lake's northern arm, with the Lake Shasta views and the resort's direct water proximity creating the lakeside camping atmosphere that the inland California mountain reservoir delivers. Eleven cabins in the pine-forest setting alongside the seasonal pool, restaurant, and bar provide the complete resort infrastructure for guests without a rig in an environment the forested Shasta County lakeshore makes appealing beyond its I-5 convenience. The restaurant and bar serve the evening social function for both RV guests and cabin occupants, and the pool provides the warm-weather complement to the lake swimming that the property's close water access enables. Lakehead sits on the Sacramento River arm of Lake Shasta in the northern Sacramento Valley/southern Cascade Range transition zone, in the Shasta County landscape where the Interstate 5 corridor's passage through the Klamath Mountains creates the dramatic change in terrain from the valley floor to the mountain environment that marks the most visually significant transition on the entire I-5 corridor between Los Angeles and the Canadian border. The Pit River Bridge over Lake Shasta on I-5—at 500 feet above the lake surface, one of the highest interstate highway bridges in the United States—provides the introduction to the Shasta Lake landscape for northbound travelers that makes a stop in Lakehead feel like a logical response to the view. Shasta Dam, five miles south at the head of the Sacramento River arm, stands as one of the most impressive concrete structures in the American West—the second-tallest concrete dam in the United States at 602 feet, completed in 1945, whose visitor center and tours explain the Central Valley Project's water management infrastructure and the dam's construction history. The Shasta-Trinity National Forest's 2.2 million acres surround the lake in the mixed conifer and chaparral landscape that provides the hiking, fishing, and the dispersed camping that supplements the resort's infrastructure. Lake Shasta's bass, trout, salmon, and kokanee fishery makes it one of California's most productive multi-species lakes. Lakeshore Resort operates seasonally with the peak summer season from Memorial Day through Labor Day when the lake's houseboating fleet fills the 365-mile shoreline and the warm mountain summer temperatures make the pool and lake swimming the daily activity anchor for families and groups. The spring season from April through May offers the lake at its most full—the snowmelt from the Klamath Mountains and the Sierra feeds the reservoir to high-water levels that maximize the shoreline access and the scenic impact of the lake in the green, flower-season landscape. Reserve your RV site or cabin at Lakeshore Resort and let Lake Shasta's 365-mile shoreline, the ponderosa pines, and the northern California mountain landscape make the I-5 corridor's most impressive water body the destination rather than the backdrop.

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.

Mendocino Magic

Mendocino Magic in Laytonville, California, is a multi-format camping destination in inland Mendocino County offering RV sites, glamping setups, and traditional tent camping — a versatile outdoor accommodation property in the US-101 corridor of the North Coast Range where the Eel River's wild and scenic stream country, the Cahto Wilderness, and the drive to the Mendocino Coast's redwood groves, sea stacks, and art galleries give guests the most complete North Coast camping experience available from a campground positioned between the redwood coast and the inland mountain valley. Laytonville's Mendocino County position on US-101, 45 miles east of the Mendocino coast and 50 miles south of Humboldt Redwoods State Park, gives the campground the specific North Coast corridor character of a property at the intersection of the coast road's scenic tourism appeal and the inland mountain valley's quieter outdoor recreation character. RV sites, glamping setups, and traditional tent camping give Mendocino Magic the complete spectrum of overnight outdoor accommodation in a single Laytonville property — the glamping format specifically gives the comfort-seeking non-camper the curated outdoor accommodation experience that the Mendocino County inland mountain setting sustains without the tent camping infrastructure logistics, and the RV site gives the self-contained traveler the hookup service for the North Coast leg of the US-101 coastal tour. The campground's multi-format accommodation reflects the specific Mendocino County market of the coastal artisan and agricultural heritage tourism that the North Coast's unique culture sustains. Pets are welcome. Humboldt Redwoods State Park, 50 miles north of Laytonville on US-101 in Humboldt County, protects the largest remaining contiguous old-growth coast redwood forest in the world — 17,000 acres of ancient Sequoia sempervirens forest in the Eel River's Bull Creek drainage where the Avenue of the Giants 32-mile scenic alternate to US-101 passes through the Rockefeller Forest's 10,000-acre old-growth stand, the world's largest preserved ancient redwood grove, in a grove of trees that include the confirmed tallest individual specimens in the forest. The coast redwood's maximum height of 380 feet and the 2,000-year age class of the Bull Creek drainage's oldest trees give the Humboldt Redwoods the specific scale and antiquity that no other temperate forest in the Northern Hemisphere matches. The Mendocino Coast, 45 miles west of Laytonville via CA-162 and CA-1 at Fort Bragg, provides the dramatic sea stack and headland coastline of the Mendocino Headlands State Park, the Mendocino village's Victorian architecture and artist colony character, and the Noyo Harbor's working fishing fleet and salmon charter boat operation that give the Fort Bragg-Mendocino corridor its specific combination of natural coastal scenery and North Coast cultural heritage. The MacKerricher State Park's 10 miles of beach north of Fort Bragg and the Glass Beach's sea-polished glass deposits give the Mendocino coastal day trip its accessible natural and geological attractions. Mendocino Magic serves guests through Mendocino County's North Coast camping season, with the spring whale migration from February through April giving the coastal viewpoints their spectacular gray whale observation and the summer fog season from June through August creating the coastal marine layer conditions that the inland Laytonville valley's warmer, clearer summer temperatures specifically complement for the guest who values the inland camp over the often-foggy coast campground in the summer. The Cahto Wilderness in the Mendocino National Forest gives the campground's immediate backcountry hiking access in the Laytonville area's inland mountain terrain. Reserve sites and glamping accommodations ahead for the summer US-101 coastal tourism season and the fall harvest season in Mendocino County's wine and apple country.

Giant Redwoods RV and Cabin Destination

58 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

On the Avenue of the Giants in Myers Flat, California, surrounded on all sides by the ancient coastal redwood forest of Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Giant Redwoods RV and Cabin Destination offers 23 acres of riverfront camping in the most magnificently forested camping corridor on the Pacific Coast. The Eel River runs along the property's edge, providing a private beach, swimming access, and the kind of riverfront setting that simply does not exist at campgrounds outside the redwood belt. When the question is where to stay to fully experience the world's tallest trees, Giant Redwoods occupies a position—inside the Avenue of the Giants, adjacent to Humboldt Redwoods State Park—that makes it the standard against which other Redwood Country campgrounds are measured. The property's 76 RV sites span the full range of hookup configurations: ten sites with full hookups (50-amp), two with full hookups (30-amp), and 41 partial hookup sites, with 29 pull-through positions accommodating rigs up to 80 feet in length—an important detail in a region where large motorhomes are common. Twenty-five tent sites round out the accommodation options for travelers in smaller setups. Glamping cabins provide the most comfortable option on the property, each equipped with heating, air conditioning, smart TVs, mini fridges, and microwaves, with a private dedicated bathroom a short walk from each unit. Restrooms, hot showers, a laundromat, and a general store handle the practical needs of multi-day stays. A playground, volleyball court, and the Eel River beach provide outdoor recreation, and summer outdoor movie nights with a concession stand operating from Memorial Day through Labor Day add an evening entertainment dimension suited to the campground's unhurried atmosphere. The Eel River beach is Giant Redwoods' most distinctive property feature. The river in this section runs clear and cold through wide gravel bars and sandy beaches that provide some of the most pleasant freshwater swimming in Northern California, with the added atmospheric bonus of doing so beneath coast redwoods that tower 300-plus feet above the water. Fishing for steelhead and salmon marks the fall and winter seasons, and the gravel bar environment supports the kingfishers, mergansers, and great blue herons that work the river margins year-round in impressive numbers. Humboldt Redwoods State Park, which the campground sits within, contains the largest contiguous old-growth coast redwood forest in the world—more than 17,000 acres of ancient forest including the Rockefeller Forest, the largest old-growth coastal redwood forest on earth. The Avenue of the Giants itself—a 31-mile scenic alternate to US-101 that winds through the park's most impressive groves—passes literally through the campground, giving guests immediate, zero-drive-time access to groves including Founders Grove, Williams Grove, and Drury-Chaney Loop, where trees exceeding 350 feet in height and 20 feet in diameter stand in concentrations unmatched anywhere on the planet. Giant Redwoods RV and Cabin Destination operates year-round, though summer represents the peak season when the river swimming, movie nights, and redwood forest hiking combine most effectively. Fall brings steelhead to the Eel River and winter fog into the redwood canopy for a distinctly different and equally compelling atmosphere. Riverside sites and glamping cabins book earliest for summer weekends. Reserve your riverfront site and experience the coast redwoods from the most immediate and immersive position available.

Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort

47 RV Sites, 18 Cabins, 15 Tent Sites

Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort sits just off US-101 in Willits, California, positioned at the junction of the redwood-lined Eel River corridor and the highway that carries travelers west toward the Mendocino Coast. The resort draws both destination campers and travelers passing through Northern California's scenic interior, offering a full-featured family resort experience inside a landscape defined by towering conifers and the quiet rhythms of the coastal range. The resort's amenities are built for multi-day stays: a pool, hot tub, fishing pond, mini golf, disc golf, splash pad, and a western-themed area that hosts evening dances and ice cream parlor events through the season. Premium sites include private hot tubs for guests who want a step up in comfort. A petting zoo, playground, and arcade room target younger campers, while bicycle rentals, a dog park, and a general store give everyone a reason to spend the day on-property. Free WiFi, bathrooms, showers, and laundry facilities handle the basics. Rustic cabins are available alongside RV sites and tent camping for a range of accommodation needs throughout the season. Willits sits in the Redwood Valley at the southern edge of Mendocino County's interior, surrounded by second-growth redwoods, Douglas fir, and the mixed conifer forests that define the Northern California coastal range. The Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort captures the character of this landscape—dense woodland, cool summers, and a natural quiet that stands in sharp contrast to California's more crowded campgrounds further south. Highway 20 connects Willits to Fort Bragg and the Mendocino coast in about 45 minutes, giving resort guests easy access to both the interior forest environment and the Pacific shoreline without an extended detour. The Skunk Train is the defining attraction of the Willits–Fort Bragg corridor—a historic narrow-gauge railroad that has been running through the redwood mountains since 1885, now offering various rail excursions through scenery inaccessible by road. Fort Bragg's Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, positioned directly on a Pacific bluff, provides 47 acres of coastal plants, native plant nursery, and direct beach access. The Avenue of Giants, south of Garberville, is the most dramatic concentration of ancient coast redwoods in the world, with trees exceeding 350 feet in height and more than 2,000 years in age. Closer to Willits, regional wineries provide evening tasting options for adults looking to extend the Northern California experience. Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort runs a summer season that tracks the Northern California camping peak, with the interior valley around Willits often enjoying warmer, clearer weather than the foggy immediate coast. Fall brings crisp weather and lower crowds across the region—an underrated time to explore both the redwoods and the coastal communities of Mendocino and Fort Bragg. Reserve early for summer holiday weekends, and plan your Skunk Train tickets in advance as the popular rail excursions fill quickly. For families and couples who want a genuinely Northern California forest experience without sacrificing comfort, Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort delivers easy access to some of the region's most iconic landscapes.

Blue Lakes Village RV Park

14 RV Sites

Blue Lakes Village RV Park sits directly across California Highway 20 from Blue Lakes in Lake County, Northern California, a small private resort tucked into the wine country foothills north of Clear Lake where the pace slows and the water is the center of daily life. The lake is private to resort guests, and the combination of direct waterfront access and a campground designed for campers who want to actually use the water rather than just park near it sets Blue Lakes Village apart from most RV parks in the Northern California lake country. Full hookup sites serve RV guests, and the resort's amenities lean into the lake experience: a private beach and dock give guests a direct launch point for kayaking, swimming to the rope swing, fishing from the dock, or simply jumping in on a summer afternoon. The property includes a fenced dog park, hammocks, BBQ pits, camping games, coin-operated laundry, a community garden, and resort-wide WiFi. Hot showers ensure the transition from lake to campsite is as comfortable as the experience of getting in the water in the first place. Blue Lakes sits in a long, narrow valley in the Lake County hills, surrounded by oak and manzanita terrain that holds the warmth of the Central California summer while staying noticeably cooler than the Sacramento Valley floor below. Lake County is California's least densely populated wine region—a place where the volcanic soils and high elevations produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Zinfandel largely without the weekend crowds and tasting room queues that define Napa and Sonoma. The lakes here are spring-fed and clear, the kind of water that makes you want to get in it rather than just look at it from the shore. Clear Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake entirely within California, is a 20-minute drive south and supports excellent bass fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching along its extensive tule marsh shoreline. Lake Mendocino, formed by Coyote Valley Dam on the East Fork Russian River, is a similar distance north and adds boating, swimming, and hiking on Cow Mountain Recreation Area trails that climb the ridges above the reservoir. The town of Lakeport on Clear Lake provides restaurants, a lakefront city park, and the Lake County Museum's collection of Pomo and Wailaki basketry that is among the finest in California. Blue Lakes Village operates through the Northern California camping season with summer the peak period for lake swimming and water recreation. The resort accommodates both short-term campers and long-term guests on weekly and monthly arrangements, making it a flexible option for extended stays in the Lake County hills. The tiny home and retro RV accommodations available for overnight rental give the property a boutique character that goes beyond the standard RV park, and the private dock and beach ensure that arriving without a kayak is not a reason to miss out on what makes this particular lake destination worth visiting.

Riverwalk RV Park

18 RV Sites

Riverwalk RV Park in Fortuna, California, offers 18 full-hookup pull-through RV sites alongside the Eel River, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 65 feet. Every site is pull-through, with an outdoor pool, spa, clubhouse, and recreation center at the southern gateway to Humboldt County's redwood coast. Eighteen pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and high-speed internet, sized to 65 feet. Every site pulling through means no backing after a long drive up US-101 and no unhitching for an overnight. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and spa anchor the property, with a clubhouse, recreation center, billiards, ping pong, and horseshoes covering indoor and social hours. Walking trails run along the river with fishing, hiking, and swimming from the area, and a playground serves families. Fortuna sits at the southern gateway to the California Redwood Coast, and the corridor north is the reason to stay. Ancient coastal redwood forest, wild Pacific coastline, and Victorian-era fishing communities extend from here through the heart of Humboldt County — one of the most remarkable natural landscapes in the American West, and one that rewards more than a single day. The park serves both US-101 through-travelers and guests basing themselves for the redwoods. Summer is the peak, with the coast staying mild and the parks busy from June through September. With 18 sites, reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Clear Lake Campground

39 RV Sites

Clear Lake Campground in Clearlake, California, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites on Cache Creek with 30-amp service, taking rigs to 40 feet, plus a boat ramp, kayak and boat rentals, and an outdoor pool. Established in the 1950s, it sits on the sole natural outlet of Clear Lake — the largest natural freshwater lake entirely within California. Thirty-six sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp in back-in, creekside back-in, and pull-through configurations sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Rigs longer than 40 feet will not fit, and the 30-amp service is worth noting for guests running high-draw appliances. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle longer stays, and WiFi reaches the property. Water access is the campground's core. A boat ramp gives direct entry to the creek and lake, and boat and kayak rentals are available on site for guests who arrive without their own. Fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boats, and swimming all run from the property, with an outdoor pool as the managed alternative. A playground serves families, and hiking, biking, ping pong, and birding fill out the rest. Pets are welcome. Cache Creek carries bass and catfish, and Clear Lake's position on the migratory corridor concentrates birdlife through spring and fall. Note the lake experiences blue-green algae blooms in some summer periods, which affects swimming conditions. Clearlake sits 90 miles north of San Francisco on Highway 20, in Lake County's wine country and volcanic highlands. The campground has drawn returning Bay Area families for seven decades. Summer is peak — reserve ahead, and check current lake conditions when planning swimming.

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.

Cloverdale/Healdsburg Campground

61 RV Sites, 18 Cabins, 46 Tent Sites, 14 Lodges

Cloverdale Healdsburg Campground in California's Alexander Valley offers 61 RV sites, 32 cabin and lodge units, and 46 tent sites on a ridge overlooking Sonoma County wine country, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted up to 100 feet. Premium view, premium pull-through, and standard categories join a pool, spa, game room, and dark-sky stargazing. Sixty-one sites span 30/50-amp standard, 30/50-amp standard pull-thru, 30/50-amp premium, 30/50-amp premium pull-thru, and 30/50-amp premium view categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One hundred feet is exceptional and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. The premium view category is the one to request. Thirty-two cabins and lodges and 46 tent sites round out an unusually deep lodging inventory. A general store, laundry, and restrooms handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and spa anchor the property, with a game room, pond, walking trails, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing and swimming run on site. Pets are welcome. The dark-sky certification is the differentiator — this is one of the few certified campgrounds in Northern California, and on a clear night the ridge position delivers what that promises. The Alexander Valley appellation spreads below, with Healdsburg's tasting rooms and restaurants a short drive south. The campground has been operating for 34 years. Harvest season and summer drive the heaviest demand in Sonoma. Reserve well ahead for August through October.

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.
