Mad River Rapids RV Park
Arcata, California
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.
