    What a wonderful place to camp in Redcrest on Avenue of the Giants. Dean, Susan, Rick, and the entire team are such kind and amazing hosts. We just love it here. The spaces all have full hookups with fire pits and views in every direction. They also have onsite restrooms and laundry facilities. You must have a satellite dish if you plan to watch TV, although they do offer free WI-FI. The gift shop is also one of the best around and offers a wide array of gifts and custom creations as well as cold refreshments. The Immortal Tree is also on site for viewing, and there is an abundant amount of trails and activities nearby. Highly recommended.

    Very nice park next to the beautiful redwoods. Easy access for big rigs. Only negative is no cell service for Verizon. Highly recommend!

    Very nice well kept park. Roomy level sites with easy access. Awesome gift shop and good general store. Very quiet with scents of the redwoods. Nice ride on Avenue of Giants to get there. It does get warm heading up from the south but cooler in the park. Full hookups with 50A and room for big class A's towing. Not much to do there but relax. You need a tow car or come with a TT and use your truck to sightsee. No AT&T cellular but good WiFi. We stayed before and after visiting the Ferndale dog show.

    Three hundred yards of berry bushes along the park's edge.  Plum trees as well.

    What a nice surprise. Quiet, level, full hookup sites, located right on the Avenue of the Giants in one of our favorite National Parks. COVID has all the showers and bathrooms closed, so your RV must be completely self-contained *and* you need a reservation - so call ahead. Sites are a bit exposed but our weather was perfect for setting out our chairs and cooking on the table, provided. In one day we took a couple hikes, then drove out to Shelter Cove, only 50 miles but be aware the road is twisty. A great location in a beautiful setting. +/- $50 per night.

    1 star is being super generous!!!! A minus 10 stars would be more appropriate!!! We were long-time…read moreresidents at the RV park-almost -8 years from 2019...loved the previous managers; the park was always clean...the laundry room and showers were cleaned and sanitized daily...the poop stations were dumped every week, and everyone who resided there had to have their dogs on a leash and pick up their poop..... There was DAILY security, noone unless they were PAID residents, could come into the park without checking in with the office. The office and the manager's home were always clean and visually appealing when entering the park. Now, it looks like a dump!! I always felt safe and that my concerns were addressed.... Unfortunately, due to issues with the owner, the managers decided to leave.....the park has been taken over by new management ( which it is rumored DO NOT HAVE A LICENSE to manage an RV park!!). As well as the rumor of a new owner who is also related to the managers. Huge red flag!!! Shortly afterwards, more family of the managers moved in along with homeless people. In the past 6 months, the park has gone downhill FAST!!! Park maintenance is nonexistent- the bathrooms and laundry room are never cleaned-GROSS is the perfect term!!! The dog poop stations are overflowing, and the poop bags are not replaced. People are allowed to let their dogs roam free without a leash, and most don't pick up their dog poop. The new management allows family and friends and homeless people to handle the office, which is only open 90 minutes per day. My lock was cut from my storage shed, which I had been paying for for 7 years. Management stated they didn't have any records of my renting the storage unit despite the fact that I had paperwork to prove it, so they cut the lock and left it open without informing me...My belongings were exposed for several days before I discovered it myself. Nothing is in writing..everything is word of mouth, which changes daily. It is hard to know what to believe. Management will permit others to run the office and daily events, but it changes from person to person. Rent is handled only through e-mail, and none of the invoices are accurate. Cats roam free and poop everywhere. The entire front section of the park smells of pot all day-every day, so getting stoned is more important than doing your job!! A lot of the electrical hookups don't work, and there have been numerous water leaks. The electrical hookup didn't work on our space, so a cord was run under another tenant's trailer and plugged into an alternate space. No one gets notification that they have packages or mail. The tenants have to tell the management that they have mail or packages waiting. No security- anyone is allowed to drive in or out of the park anytime, day or night. Our personal security camera has footage of someone wandering through our space at 1:30 am. We were forced to move from the existing space that we had occupied for over 6 years down to the bottom half of the park due to 'supposed' tree removal, but were promised we could move back in 2 days. We paid for someone to tow us, as well as a flat bed was rented to haul additional outside items, only to find out that only 1 tree was removed, which took over a week. The management told us that we couldn't move back because they don't make any money on long-timers, that overnighters are how they make their money. So an additional expense for us due to misinformation. Seriously, long-timers are what has kept the park going in the wintertime for years!!. Once that river rises this winter...let's see who stays in the park or who leaves. The management is in for a huge awakening!! Shouldn't push out the people that are making you a profit!! The new management is not only uneducated, , they are also clueless, potheads, and just plain ignorant.....Good luck on keeping your tenants! Please AVOID THIS PARK at all costs.....

    Awesome campground to be able to camp among new growth and some old growth redwoods, the tent sites…read moreare very clean and surrounded by trees. The staff was very kind but maybe disorganized, they answered the phones and had our reservations as they were about to close. The water definitely is not clean and is kind of gross though which kind of negates the need for a paid campground. The bathrooms were clean and well kept.

    Two nights in a tent site this month…read more Pros: Fantastic service and communication by the camp host, both before and during our two night stay. Bathrooms were very clean, well lit, and fully functional. Firewood and other necessities were delivered right to our site upon arrival - so awesome! The patch of old growth we camped in was long-ago cut large trees which had sprouted a dozen or so normal trees out of them. The woods were DARK due to dense canopies and staved off the rain when it fell, which we loved. Most importantly, this CG doesn't fill up six months ahead of arrival date so you can actually book them like a normal campground used to be (I'm glaring at YOU, California State Parks). Cons: Loud road noise due to proximity to 101 and surface roads. In fact, several of the sites abut the neighboring private property, allowing you to see through an old privacy fence directly into their back yard. Luckily our host let us swap spots when we realized this. Several tent campsites lacked picnic tables, which made me concerned if they'd have been full (they definitely weren't this May weekend). The fire rings were sufficient but also just old wheels. Showers in bathroom were in dire need of new fixtures (hard water made them look quite...eek...just glad I wasn't wearing my glasses while I showered). We recognized this area is a difficult one to have high expectations in due to remoteness and gave an extra star for the supremely kind and helpful woman who hosted us. We may not be back up here again, but if we are I hope to run into her.

The staff here is very friendly ( Katherine, Famora and Levi) and accommodating for all our questions and fun things they recommend. We found all the sites (fairly level), and the hookups well maintained. The pool and hot tub were clean and they will give you a towel at the front desk if you would like. My wife and I took advantage of the golf course, but be advised in the summer months is quite dry, but for the price, it was just the right amount of fun for us, since neither of us golf regularly. In the afternoon we took a stroll over to the Benbow Inn, beautiful and historical, for Happy Hour. Nice indoor or outdoor settings that really make this a must if you stay there. The evening was very peaceful with a nice fire and we saw no signs of transient as mentioned in another review. One person even criticized that the river was low...like they have control over that! haha. Plenty of fun places to drive to during the day, even the historical redwoods are not that far. For us we would definitely stay there again for a simple charming campground experience. Remember this is a campground not a room at the Hilton! Just a little perspective

    We stayed here while traveling to CA for a graduation and I would probably avoid it until they made…read moresome MAJOR renovations and cleaned up the property. You can tell that once upon a time this place was really nice during to the amenities they have. However, I don't think anything has been fixed, updated or possibly deep cleaned since the opening. I would guess that was a long time ago, sadly. We checked in late and after sunset, so you couldn't really see what the property looked like. The photos and reviews on the KOA website, so we hoped for the best. However, upon waking up to heavy machinery the next morning before 7am and barking dogs, it wasn't looking good. Once the store was open, I went inside to speak with the front desk. Upon my walk, I quickly realized how dirty and old the property was. Once I got inside, it only became more apparent. Lot of dust, ignore the mess signs/things don't work signs, and a girl at the front who just nodded. Not very helpful to say the least. I will spare the other details of some of the garbage and mess we encountered, but let's just say we didn't leave our RV much. Our site was also dirty and didn't look like it had been cleaned since a few stays ago. Not worth the price we paid at all!

    I thought for sure I did my review here, but I guess I didn't and I've got some good pictures too,…read moreso I will post those. I was here in June for a family reunion to see relatives, I had not seen in 50 years. It's even possible one of them had worked here as a maid in the 70s or 80s so that was really interesting. It was her old stomping ground. She lived here the rest of the family live nearby. This is a throwback to the 1970s which is why it's so charming and I think that's why so many people would love it. I didn't get to walk the grounds until the last day but there is actually an old-fashioned 70s style arcade with pinball machine machines it's just exactly like how it was when we were kids in the 70s and went camping with our parents. That's the type of stuff you would find. There's an old gathering hall in the back with wood floors that hasn't been used probably forever, which is gorgeous, there's a little Arboretum in the middle of the square that they light up every night with little violet lights. It's beautiful and you can tell that was an old area where there's a fountain that's no longer working. All charming and quaint. There's a little fire pit you can walk to in the back that looks like the type of fire pit we had at camp in 1975. It just has that old vibe that everyone loves and is disappearing everywhere so I pray they never change anything, but I don't think they will. The cabins are the same they're old-fashioned and beautiful however, inside they have been somewhat modernized because that's the world we live in people would be upset if things were original I wouldn't but a lot of people would. I found it to be gorgeous and quiet. The only complaint I had and they did give me back some money for that and I really do appreciate that is that my little mini fridge was rocking and making a lot of noise all night and that did keep me from sleeping, that was rough. I'm a light sleeper and I found the rooms to be cold because it's regulated heat and I didn't know I could go up and ask for a space heater or bring one so I didn't now I know. To answer the question would I come back again?? 100% I loved it there and of course the kitchenette was filled with everything you need, I didn't take a shower there which sounds bad because I was freezing, but the showers were clean. The bathrooms were nice. The room was small, but really good for the price. I do plan to come back next May and hopefully I'm on great terms with them. I think my little complaints or issues were reasonable and fair or they wouldn't have refunded but I'm glad that they did and I'm glad I brought it up so the next person doesn't go through those issues and I'm glad that I'm letting people know if you do get cold there. You can ask for a space heater or bring your own but just make sure you let them know. Let them know you brought it because space heaters are fire hazards and you don't want to cause trouble in a beautiful area like this Also, they did have an incredible campground which I left out so there was an area for RVs and then in the back there were actual pads where people had tents and camping gear and all I thought was wow I wish I could do that next time maybe my cousin will do that with me for a day or two and I can have the cabin as well oh, and I did forget to mention that some of the cabins had fireplaces which I think I will try to get next Time. This is the ONLY place to stay!! Also not far from the only gas station and the only market, which are both great!
