Here's the an honest review from August 2025. The campground is a 7/10. On water, wildlife is…read morediverse, has fishing and all services. The facilities are dated, HOWEVER, you can tell they take great pride and include little thoughtful details like clips on the shower curtains for added privacy, bath mats for outside the stalls and water taps at each tent site. What makes this place a 10/10 is the LOVELY hosts Charlie and his wife Debbie. They were such great folks. His stories and smile will make you miss your grandpa. They are so sweet and accomidating and you can tell that they have put their hearts and soul into this little gem. If you're looking for new and fancy, this isn't your place. If you're looking for salt of the earth folks, hot showers, flush toilets and don't mind a few critters in the wash houses (open 24/7 by the way!) then I highly recommend this spot. Reasonably priced as well! Thanks for a great couple days, Charlie! We'll miss you. Mandy and Kyle

Nice open campground near the Redwoods, you can rent a camper as well as campsites. Renting a…read morecamper is a good option if you are passing through and aren't set up for camping, they aren't new but clean and comfortable with a bathroom, shower and kitchen. There are very limited options for any kind of lodging in the area, there's a small Casino with a hotel 10 minutes away and it's pricey. Closest grocery store is Crescent City to the north, so get supplies there. The campground has a store with some campground essentials but it's not a grocery store. Campground has coin laundry too, and the campground store has tide pods for .75 cents. Would recommend if in the area for hiking the Redwoods or fishing!

Again, it's country living and access to river. Showers, laundry, and restrooms are fine. We would definitely go back. (Only complaint was a few people living year around but they did not seem homeless maybe just down on luck but families). No drug use or unsafe. Kids can ride bikes and play for hours here.

Yesterday we drove by the meadow ~ 7:30pm and there were plenty of elk on meadow; however we didn't decide to stop because we knew we were coming back the following day. So seems like the best time to get up close and get amazing shots of the elks would be late afternoon to early evening between the hours of 4pm-8pm; as they are grazing the meadow for dinner.

Tent camping at Chinook RV resort. Site #10 costs more than the other tent sites (maybe because…read moreit's not right in top of other tents like the others), but it's in the middle of the common area field and next to dog park with no screen whatsoever. Not worth the extra $$$ for it. This could be made so much better by adding some trees as a break around the dog park and to give this site some shade. There was nowhere to seek shade at this site whatsoever so if you wanted to just chill in the afternoon you had to bake in the sun. Also map leads you to believe you can see the river and you cannot from this site. The common deck overlooking the river with a fire pit in the middle is really nice. Also could use some shade to be used during mid-day hours. Saw some seals frolicking in the water while sitting there and that was really cool! Also tons of birds registered on my bird ID app (including osprey and night heron) so they are happy in the area. Bathrooms are dirty and aged. As mentioned by other reviewers the stall doors are very short and offer little privacy. Signs request drying off in the stall to prevent standing water but it's hard to prevent the water getting out. It's not far off the main 101 at all so you do hear road noise until it slows later in the evening. It's a reasonable distance from Crescent City and right in the middle of national park visitor centers. Short drive to beach areas. While I was there people were friendly but not intrusive, things were fine. Things could be improved but it wasn't a bad spot for the location/price.

The spaces between RVs are very limited and don't allow for very much room for tents. As for the…read moreprivacy of the site, there is none. Coin operated washers & dryers: not much to say about this, in all honesty. It's exactly as you'd think, $1.50 to use the washer, $1 to use the dryer. However, the dryer heat is VERY weak. We ended up needed to pay for two dryer cycles for our clothes to be properly dried, as the first cycle (on the Heavy Duty setting, mind you), did not dry our clothes and they were very much still damp. They do not offer any laundry detergent or softener or anything of the sort, you must bring your own. They say there's a hot tub somewhere, but we genuinely could not find it. The if you are expecting to work from here off of your phone or laptop, the free WiFi offered here will not allow that to happen. The showers / bathrooms: the entire campsite runs on an old septic system and old electricity. While showering, my sister and I got awful smells of the septic tank. The showers in the campsite are in desperate need of some TLC, as they are falling apart and have cracks in the flooring. The showers face outwards, so they are prone to splashing water all over the floor and causing a minor flood inside the bathroom. Another thing to note is the stall doors on both the showers and toilets are very very short. If you are taller than 5'6, you can easily see over them, or someone can peek in. The shower stall doors also do not lock at all. While staying in the campsite, we had MULTIPLE occasions of the bathroom door being left open / being purposefully stuck open with a door stopper. At first, I believed it to just be ignorantly left open by other campers. However, on our last day, my sister and I were showering when suddenly the bathroom door was opened and left open. When we called out to ask them to close the door, we were either ignored or went unheard. We saw one of the campsite workers speaking with the man outside of the woman's bathroom. They were not cleaning anything or anything of the sort, and had left the woman's bathroom door WIDE open while we were showering. If you are considering going on this trip alone, DON'T. One of our party members went to the bathroom at night by herself, and was FOLLOWED by someone. She kept looking behind her, and he kept looking away when she'd look at him. Once she returned to the campsite and got into her tent, he stopped and went, "Oops. Wrong campsite" and walked away. A lot of the people there gave off creepy or strange vibes. One night while our whole group was at the waterside fire pit, we were roasting marshmallows. Two other members were there, one introduced herself as a staff member, Jeanette. While we initially just gave general introductions (our names), and simply went on to make our marshmallows, Jeanette went out of her way to make us uncomfortable. Jeanette looked to the only black person (second youngest, and LOOKS young) in our party and started making really strange and uncomfortable comments: "You would have such beautiful babies." and "You wouldn't be the type to leave your babies" (Racist much??). She then proceeded to straight up harass everyone in our party by coming up with strange and random BABY NAMES for all the couples. All of the couples were young adults (18-20), and all of them look super young too!! She made a few other strange and uncomfortable comments that I am choosing not to add here, but it was extremely unprofessional and very uncomfortable for everyone involved. We ended up leaving the campfire early and turning in for an early night because of it. After we had all decided to turn in, Jeanette followed my mother back to our campsite (after my mother went back for her gloves) and attempted to make conversation. My mother was uninterested and ignored her, and she, thankfully, left. Overall, we will never be returning to this campsite. You would have better luck camping elsewhere.

There's so many different avenues for navigating through Redwood National and State Parks. Although…read moreRedwood NP is the main centerfold to this entire northwestern section of California...there are so many little State Parks situated within the bigger picture. Redwood NP and all the SP's including hikes and trails are free to explore. I found having a game plan ahead of time of what to see and do sort of made the whole experience better for me. Because...the signs along the roads are easily passable and there are a few different Visitors Centers located sporadically throughout the entire area. You even pass by cities along the way including Crescent City, Klamath, Orick, Myers Flat and Leggett. So it is tricky to sort of capture all the sights and attractions among Redwood NP. Lol, even with my pre-planned itinerary...I still got lost driving and making my way around the grounds. Btw, I initially for this year of 2020 (during the pandemic) had planned on driving from south to north...but because of the unexpected change in my travel plans, I ultimately drove Highway 101 from north (in Oregon) down south. You can drive any which way...whatever works best for your travel destinations. However you arrive here...basically you'll be commuting along Highway 101...which runs as far north towards the Oregon border. Along Highway 101...I'd just like to point out some of my favorite and most memorable stops here within Redwood NP... - TREES OF MYSTERY - a tourist attraction located in Klamath. $20 entrance to walk among giant redwoods and eventually take a skyline gondola to the top of the forest. - Three worthwhile Drive-Thru Trees, fun for the family and good for photos. 1. Chandelier Tree - Leggett, CA 2. Shrine Tree - Myers Flat, CA 3. Klamath, CA Tour Thru Tree - NEWTON B. DRURY PARKWAY - a scenic 11 mile road and host to plenty of hikes and attractions. - Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park - great place and probably the main heart of action within the area...terrific for hiking among these majestic redwoods. Hikes here that I'd recommend...Revelation Trail, James Irvine Trail and Miners Ridge Trail. There's a Visitors Center here as well for gifts/supplies. You can even camp out here, but make reservations ahead of time or sites fill up fast. - The town of Orick, CA has the Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center - good for a starting point among the Prairie Creek SP area and for identifying what to see along Newton B. Drury Parkway. - BIG TREE Wayside (or otherwise known as Big Tree) - 2 miles away from Prairie Creek SP - statuesque tree with lots of history. Also here...home to a recommended 1.4 mile hike...CATHEDRAL TREES TRAIL. - In this area behind Prairie Creek SP - Fern Canyon Trail and Gold Bluffs Beach. - In the town of Klamath...both of the following overlooks are great for capturing views of the Northern California Coastline and Pacific Ocean... 1. High Bluff Overlook 2. Klamath River Overlook along Requa road. - In the town of Crescent City... 1. Hiouchi Visitor Center - here for 2020 they had a stand outside for any info and pamphlets plus getting your Parks Pass stamped. 2. Jedediah Smith State Park - wonderful for hiking and discovering more redwoods. Within this State Park...I recommend hiking the STOUT MEMORIAL GROVE TRAIL - a terrific path! Also, right nearby along Howland Hill Road I recommend another hike called BOY SCOUT TREE TRAIL - a 5.6 RT hike but great ambiance for however long you choose to go. 3. Crescent Beach Overlook - nice for views. - Near the Myers Flat area....this entire road called AVENUE OF THE GIANTS! Again...more good moments to appreciate the stunning surroundings being situated around some of the tallest trees in the world! - Humboldt Redwoods State Park - a Visitors Center, stops along the road for picture taking. After accomplishing so much along my itinerary...I only walked the GOULD GROVE NATURE LOOP TRAIL - more and more and more hypnotic redwood trees to uncover! This was a simple 2/3 of a mile walk...but with pathways diverting in different ways. You can climb on the trees and have playful moments within the beautiful forest. - Heading towards Leggett, CA... 1. Famous One-Log House - for $5 fee, walk inside an authentic home built out of a tree. 2. Grandfather Tree - free roadside stop for cool photos of a gigantic 1800 year old tree that's 265 feet tall! There's a gift shop here for those interested. Finally, lol, eventually, for me...I was making way south towards Point Reyes National Seashore and the city of Leggett concluded my Redwoods journey. But...for Redwood National and State Parks - you could easily spend a good week here driving up and down Highway 101...immersing yourself in Redwood Heaven! I hope these spots, attractions, landmarks, overlooks and recommendations finds you all well and helps assist in what to expect when visiting.
