    Azalea Glen RV Park, Trinidad, CA - August 25, 2023
    Bruce O.

    Azalea Glen RV Park, Trinidad, CA - August 25-28, 2023 We arrived at the RV park at about 12:30 pm, a little before the 1 pm check in time. The lady at the checkin counter was very friendly and there were no qualms about us being a little early. This isn't always the case at some RV parks. Some parks refuse to let you enter before 2 pm, even when the prior guest checkout time is 11 am. Check out time here is noon. We got checked in and received a friendly gift bag of chocolates and candy - dessert after lunch! This area has a long history, dating back to the original Yurok Native Americans who established the village of Tsurai on the bluffs overlooking Trinidad Bay, prior to the arrival of Spanish explorers in 1775. Fast forward to 1870, when Trinidad was incorporated as a City of the State of California, and then on to the 1920s when the Redwood Highway was established, paving the way for adventurous travelers to make their way out of San Francisco beyond Eureka to Trinidad and to the far northern reaches of California's redwoods. Azalea Glen hasn't always been an RV park. Between those early 20s to the 50s, it was other things, including the Park Cafe and Trout Ponds. No cafe here now, and the trout ponds have become lilly ponds, but the charm here may be more magnificent than ever. The park is very well maintained and manicured. There are about 35 RV sites. Six sites have wooden deck patios that overlook the Lilly pond. Full hookups. No tents. Laundry room - $2 per wash, $1.50 to dry - 45 minutes. Women and men's bathrooms each have a shower. Nice enclosed dog play area. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, how about a beautiful redwood forest with lush green foliage - redwoods, ferns, bay trees, lichens, and the like. Su-Meg State Park (formerly Patrick's Point State Park) is literally across the street with campgrounds and miles of trails on a bluff overlooking and leading down to an expansive ocean beach. The park includes a nature center, gift shop, and ceremonial grounds of the region's original Yurok Native American inhabitants (still used today for religious purposes by their descendants) There are so many more attractions nearby - Big Lagoon a few miles north (kayaking and paddle boarding to your heart's content), and of course the area that started it all off before the Spaniards, Europeans, and Gold Rush settlers arrived, Trinidad Bay (remember the Yuroks). The modern City of Trinidad, about 5 miles south of the park, includes gift shops, a winery, a museum, a fish market, grocery store, and numerous eateries (our favorite in Trinidad is Seascape Restaurant near Trinidad Head Pier). Lots of other good options in nearby Arcata and Eureka as well - check Yelp!

    This huge clematis is just outside check-in.  That's my hand holding it!

    WONDERFUL!!!! You just cannot find a more perfect place than Azalea Glen. The sights are very private with fences covered with blooming plants on both sides of you. Tall redwoods all around you and flowers everywhere. I've been to flower gardens that have fewer plants than here; and the hosts are just as beautiful as their spectacular campground. We'd always seen the "Don't feed the otters" sign and thought it was a joke. So when my husband took a walk around the end of the pond and the otter under the boat skittered out, it about scared the pants off him. What a delightful surprise! The best part of this campground is that it is SMALL, and we just love that aspect of it. Hope the county lets them open the restrooms soon. I miss the fresh flowers on the counter every day.

    So glad we chanced upon this great little park. COVID-friendly policies including laundry access by appointment only. Our site was a flat, grassy area, fenced on both sides, with 2 Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, fire pit, and redwood deck. There is a sweet lily pad pond (not even one mosquito) and plenty of birds. Lots of peace and quiet, walking distance from the State Park across the street, which includes trails to the ocean, an Indian village, ceremonial sites, and lots of open space. Firewood for sale, quiet hours 9pm to 9am.

    View from our deck.

    We came here for one night on our way north. Simple but just right. Had a south facing view of a large healthy pond from a deck with fire pit at the back of our sites owner is friendly and keeps a quiet well maintained park.

    Beautiful pond

    If you are lucky enough to get to Patrick's Point then this RV park is a must. It's the most charming RV park with beautiful wild gardens and a lily pond in the middle of the park. Some spots have decks overlooking it too. It's a tranquil, well maintained , lushly landscaped gem in the Redwoods. Spots are well thought out and private. Patrick's Point Park is a short walk.

    This was a fantastic place to camp. Very pretty like most areas in Humboldt County. The spaces are a little bit thin but the big hedges really help make the spots private. It's a quaint little campground and has the long pull thrus that we needed with 50 amp service, water, and sewer. The really nice thing about this camp spot was that it was about a quarter mile from the entrance to Patrick's point State Park. Which is absolutely spectacular and has so much to explore. The one downside that we came across (which probably isn't a big deal for most people) was that it is pretty landlocked. It is surrounded by private property which meant that my two young boys couldn't go off and explore. That being said, the property itself is very well-kept and the grounds themselves are gorgeous. I would recommend a stay here for longer RV set ups but if you have a small enough rig check out Emerald Forest RV park down the road a bit. Check out my quick little video and some pictures to get a sense of what this very nice RV park is all about. Copy/Paste this into browser to see video review: https://youtu.be/MMDxaZAy_XQ

    Came here to get away from the heat! This place was absolutely beautiful & CLEAN!! Even the restroom had fresh flowers. The grounds are filled with flowers. We had a space by the pond filled with Lily pads. Hopefully will come back again soon!!

    We stay here every year for the past 10 years. Small older RV park but well maintained. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. I would not recommend this park if you have children, as it is a quiet park with not a lot for kids to do. Restrooms/showers and laundry are clean. Right across the road from Patrick's Point State Park. They only have 30 amp, but not an issue because you don't need to run your AC with their mild temperatures. There is a nice fenced area for pets which our fur babies love. There are beautiful flowering shrubs and perennials depending on the time of year you can find rhododendrons, hydrangeas, begonias, roses, etc. Our site back up to a wooden deck overlooking the beautiful pond. At night you can hear the frogs croaking. WE JUST LOVE THIS PLACE!

    Large pull through
    Celeste T.

    Wow, what a beautiful place. We pulled in at 6:30 on a Friday 4th of July weekend because we saw the sign that said " RV - yes". Imagine our surprise, we totally didn't expect to find such a lovely forest campground, got the last site. The pull throughs have plenty of room even for the biggest RV. There are darling sites on the pond for back-ins. There are permanent residents but they decorate their sites with flowers and privacy fences with lots of greenery so they are gorgeous. Some grassy mowed trails that lead you into the forest or across the street to Patrick's Pt. This is a very quiet park and they stress that so don't bother if you plan on using a radio or have noisy dogs and kids. We loved the peaceful space. Absolutely delighted

We like off season travel. And added bonus is this place is right off of 101 making it super convenient for traveling. Most spots have full hook ups. Some just w/e. They have a cute little u shaped area for pop-up campers. Not all sites are super level. Some are pull thru and some back in. Some spots back up to 101 but we became used to the sparse traffic quite quickly. The tent sites are mostly very private. They are nice. Perhaps the neatest places to stay are the cabins. They look so inviting. Some have full kitchens which works out nicely since this very well stocked grocer, Murphys, is just down the street. It was a surprising find in a town of a little over 300 souls. They have a hot bar too! Nice people abound in this area. The little store onsite is also well stocked. There are toasty bathrooms available and the showers, if needed, are coin operated. Fair warning: if you use starlink, there are a ton of trees! There is a "bark park". We visited all the cities/towns in the area including the absolutely adorable Ferndale! We highly recommend the beach in Trinidad. Just stunning with tons of soft sand. We recommend Emerald Forest Cabins & RV.

We estimated we'd reach our lodging destination at a certain time but we like to leave room for side trips we stumble upon along the way (like this one). Moonstone Beach is not too far from Clam Beach. We've been to this part of the state before when we went on a tour of the Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City. The parking area is not a long walk from the beach -whew- and it was low tide at the time so it was nice. We walked all the way to the north end of the beach to the cave. Few people in November, some walked the beach, many brought their dogs to play and run around. There was some rock climbing going on too. Beautiful beach in Humboldt County! The tide was starting to come in as we were leaving... Moonstone Grill, a restaurant just up the hill you'll see before heading down to the beach, opened at 4:30p daily for dinner. We arrived at the beach at 1:00p so we weren't able to try. Review #3241

I personally love how secluded this beach is that stretches out for miles. This beach is great for walking along the shoreline and/or enjoying a picnic at. In order to get here you will have to drive on a somewhat twisty road for about 6 miles. It is right next to Fern Canyon so I love visiting both at the same time due to the close proximity to one another. There are unique hikes in Fern Canyon due to the fern-covered walls you can walk through. This is such a beautiful area. I have not used the campground and only visited the beach so I can't speak to the campground aspect of this area. It is very peaceful and serene and a place where you can often spot elk.

It requires a day use permit to enter because of the volume of visitors that come here. Mostly because popular Fern Canyon is next to it. Gold Bluffs has a campground with 26 sites. Permits are not required if you have camping reservations. To reach Gold Bluffs Beach, you have to drive on a 6 mile windy dirt road called Davison Rd that you can access near the Elk Meadow picnic area. Trailers are not allowed on Davison Road. Visitors will need to pay the day-use fee, or show their federal pass or CA state park passes at the Gold Bluffs Beach entrance station. You can also hike the 11-mile James Irvine loop trail from Prairie Creek Visitor Center. No permit is required if you are hiking. Gold Bluffs Beach was named after a gold discovery in the 1850's that attracted some interest by miners. If you are going to come here, make sure you check out nearby Fern Canyon. It is a must-see! The 1,200 mile California Coastal Trail runs through Gold Bluffs. After hiking Fern Canyon, I walked over to the coast of Gold Bluff to walk in the water and soak in the sun.

The lagoon has little to no water current and has long areas of shallow water, making it perfect for small children and family fun without needing to be worried about losing a loved one in a traumatic mistake. Eek. The lagoon is gorgeous, just watch out for lightning storms in the winter. Aside from the lagoon and renting kayaks, many people travel to Agate Beach (just a quarter mile walk) to collect, you guessed it Agates. But because of rough surf and currents, it's not safe to take toddlers or people who are candidates for hip replacement surgery. If you include Patrick's Point to this Recreation area, there are 3 awesome camp grounds. You can choose camping under redwood trees, camping in meadows, on the beach, or overlooking the lagoon. Side note: Patrick's Point has day use sites that have unique fire pits and bbq's! Large stone sculptures with grills. The Big Lagoon/Patrick's Point Recreation Area is also 15 minutes away from Trinidad. This city has a great independent grocery store and is resplendent with eateries that have breathtaking views. The area is remote and for that reason not a lot of people hang out here. If it was in SF or LA there be a year's waiting list to get reservations. But I so Far (knock on wood), there's always empty sites.

It really is a fantastic and beautiful park with wild elk roaming all over and a public beach across the highway!

    BEAUTIFUL LOCATION, TOXIC MANAGEMENT -- AVOID THIS PLACE…read more There's no denying it: Elk Country RV Resort sits in one of the most breathtaking parts of Northern California. The elk are majestic, the redwoods are awe-inspiring, and nature surrounds you in every direction. But don't let the scenery fool you -- my experience living here has revealed a deeply troubling side to this park. My family has had a connection to this campground for over 30 years, and I've been a full-time resident. In that time, I've never witnessed the park in such a state of decline. Since the current managers, Kurt and Susan Gebhardt, took over, the atmosphere and conditions have dramatically deteriorated. Based on my personal experiences, I've observed repeated behavior by management that feels openly hostile -- including drive-bys of campsites, horn honking, and yelling from vehicles. I've documented some of these incidents on video. This aligns with many similar complaints posted in public reviews, which describe being shouted at or approached in aggressive ways. The park's condition has also visibly declined: * Electrical boxes are rusted and breakers unreliable. * Many picnic tables are deteriorating or rotting. * Water from taps has, at times, run brown and rusty. * Amenities that once made the park special have been removed, locked, or left to decay. Just a few examples: * The historic barn café no longer serves food or coffee and stays permanently closed. * The Little Red Schoolhouse museum is rarely opened. * The clubhouse with pool table, sauna, and hot tub is gone. * The fish cleaning station was removed. * The library was converted into a storage shed. * Horseback rides and chainsaw carving displays were discontinued. In my opinion, these changes have not only stripped the park of its charm, but also raised safety and environmental concerns. There are piles of green waste left in open areas, dead trees being used as fencing, and formerly walkable trails now blocked or overgrown. This kind of neglect may pose both a fire hazard and a public health concern. Guests are also required to sign a waiver upon check-in that, in my view, raises serious questions about liability and safety standards. While these kinds of documents are common in outdoor settings, I encourage anyone staying here to read it carefully. Another major issue is access to the elk -- a primary reason many visitors come here. Areas that were once open for viewing are now restricted, fenced off with "PRIVATE PROPERTY" signs, and limited to paying guests only. The natural migration of the elk appears to have been disrupted, possibly due to overuse and poor management practices. BOTTOM LINE: Elk Country RV Resort could be an incredible destination, but in my experience, poor leadership and neglect have turned it into a shadow of what it once was. I encourage you to read other recent reviews. My experience is not unique. This is still a beautiful part of California -- just consider staying somewhere else.
