Not sure what the point of the "Camp Host" is. He should be relived of his duties. His trailer site was a mess. Broken down old crap boat with flat tires on the boat-trailer, coolant bottles under his trailer for all to see, a bit like a meth-lab sort of feel. He/she never came out to check on things (ie. did anyone pay for the night?) We must have been the only ones who paid that night, silly us. The toilets and shower were broken and out of order and obviously had been for some time. The one por-to-let was a mess and unsanitary. Trash all over the camp sites. The boat ramp and camp sites are used by unsavory locals who are coming out to shoot-up and get high and service clients. Obviously a regular place for this to happen and must not be on the Humboldt County Sheriff's local patrol. This campsite needs to be taken over by BLM, since they have a ranger at the front gate who actually does his job.

Some of the regulars are a little sketchy and the staff doesn't seem too concerned even though it could be a safety issue considering the location. There's a lot of transient traffic. Worst of all are the instructors. They must be the worst paid fitness staff in town and their skills and attitude reflect that. There's one lady in particular who completely runs your workout with her extremely loud, obnoxious directions. She's clearly trying to desperately hold off her own aging procees and it isn't working. Her routines are right out of the 80s aerobics craze. She's got crazy red hair, but you'll be able to figure out who she is right away. Stay clear!

Old town Eureka has so much to see and do... It's a fantastic area to just wander…read more All kinds of different shops from antique shops, to clothing, shops, to shops where you can buy items from Humboldt County. The chain "restoration hardware" started right here in old town. They also have both new and used book shops. One of them is the bookLegger, which has both. A fun shop to stop in is Seymour's novelty shop. From Whoopie cushions, to pink flamingos, to everything in between. There is also a "California visitors center", where you can go in and get local tourist information. There are some great places to eat, from restaurants to otherwise. My two favorites are "los bagels" on 2nd St., and "living the dream ice cream". at the foot of F Street... In season, you can take the Humboldt Bay Harbor tour on the Madaket, a historic boat which used to be a ferry before the days of the Samoa Bridge. During the summer. They have a big open air market on Friday night, and the old town Fourth of July festival is another open air market. That is also lots of fun to visit. The crown jewel of old town has to be the Carson mansion.... A beautiful old building. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public, as it's a private club, but if you know a member, or you can get get in as part of an event, it's really nice on the inside. There are some homeless people in old town, but they pretty much stay to themselves, the best thing to do is just use common sense. You will have a great time here. On the first Saturday of every month, is the popular "arts alive festival." From 6 to 9 PM, they have live music, late night, gallery openings, and businesses celebrating the local vibrant arts scene. It's very popular, and another great event.

Main attractions in Old Town are: Harbor walk, be safe as the homeless can be aggressive here. Many good dining options, including Lost Coast Brewery Cafe, Brick & Fire Bistro, Five Eleven, Phatsy Kline's Parlor and Lounge, etc. Eureka Visitor Center - Another one of my highlights of the trip, but then I happen to crash the grand open party! Dick Taylor Craft Chocolates. Carson Mansion - Looks good from the outside. Close to the public. Main attractions in Eureka are: Micro Breweries - So many to choose from, the most popular one is probably Lost Coast. Of course we went to both their locations and a few more other breweries. The Redwood Curtain Brewery also stood out for us on this visit. They also have Cider companies, but that is not my preference/not my drink of choice. Sequoia Park - I enjoyed this. A nice easy walk/hike. Sequoia Park Garden - Really small, but still very nice and beautiful. The caregiver was also really friendly. Sequoia Park Zoo - If I had young kids, I would have enjoyed it more. My daughter enjoyed it. Atmosphere - Historic, victorian homes, art, etc. Kind of reminds me of Napa or Carmel... Small city, but I am told the largest for their county. I believe the largest coastal city is between SF and Portland, OR. The city is approximately 14.5 sq miles with 26.5k population. Service - Good. Mostly self service walking around Old Town. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. Owner Comments - Congrats on Eureka's success since 1850. 1856 Incorporated. 1874 - Reincorporated.

It's definitely worth the $5/pp admission. The gift shop has some great M&D items but all have been there awhile as you can see the fading from the sun (and overpriced compared to what you can buy on AMZN). 5 stars for a great kids museum in a small town.

It's located at the part of the park where Glatt and W Street intersect. I could tell it was very well taken care of by the gardeners.

Nice visit at the garden [Eureka CA]…read more Just outside the zoo's northern perimeter is the Sequoia Park Garden on W Street. Street parking is available just outside of the entrance. The forecast was partly cloudy in the mid 50's. The garden isn't very big but I enjoyed the variety of flowers that were in bloom which is generally between May and September. Our visit was during the Memorial Day weekend. Took some time taking lots of photos of the colorful blooms including a collection of gorgeous dahlias... wish they had labels for all the flowers for us who are botanically illiterate. Flowers are beautiful subjects for photography that's why I love botanical gardens. The garden also featured a wishing well and a gazebo for small gatherings and events and, also, a small sundial, unfortunately, there was no sun at that time to tell the time of day ツ Sadly, we weren't able to go across to the park. Hubby already had too much walking for the day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Review #3771

This is not true of all of the other learners, which may contribute to the challenge for the teachers. However, teaching methodology seems loose and disjointed. For instance, one brief demonstration of a SERIES of instructions (for a course of activities) does not insure comprehension or performance! Maybe having a video to watch+re-watch, while waiting your turn, would help. Also, I'd like to see more feedback and analysis of form, along with specific instruction for improvement, be provided.

This place is NOT safe for small children. So many hazardous objects just lying around. Heavy equipment stacked haphazardly, electrical cords, cleaning chemicals.

Fans and shop vacs lying around. There are damaged foam blocks that look like babies have been chewing on them. It's actually wild that this is advertised as a place for parents to bring toddlers.

Much confusion as to the name. Is it Shoreline RV Park OR Coastal Pines RV Park? We have camped…read morehere many times when it was called Shoreline RV Park, but I think there are new owners. The park now has dead grass and the trash bins are wedged under low hanging branches. We reserved a certain site for one-night but when we arrived at 3:30 PM, the office was closed and someone was in our site. We waited 30 minutes and no one called back at the numbers listed. So we checked their online reservation system (Campspot) for another empty spot and just decided to park there. We didn't want to hook up for fear we would be asked to move. We had an appointment in town and so we left a note on our door with our phone number. No one ever called our entire time there. We will NOT stay there again.

Historic Military Fort [Eureka CA]…read more There's a lot to take in historically from Fort Humboldt. Although this site seems peaceful now, at one time it was the hub of a conflict between settlers and Native Americans. We walked through the grassy park area stopping to read interpretive signs along the way educating ourselves. The history of Fort Humboldt State Historic Park dates back to 1853. First, one of the most famous military personalities to serve here was Captain Ulysses S. Grant, the future U.S. President and commander of all Union forces during the Civil War. He was stationed here as Captain of Company F, 4th Infantry, in 1853-1854. His story is shared in historic signage and markers. No wait... FIRST! Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is haunted! The GhostTube app captured some anomalies when we used it. I posted a couple of videos. During its glory, the fort had 14 buildings: Officer's Quarters, barracks, a hospital, a blacksmith shop, a horse stable, and even a bakery. Wooden markers can be seen at the park indicating where they once stood. The reconstructed Surgeon's Quarters and original Fort Hospital remain standing till today and I wonder if they open the doors to visitors during park hours. One part of the park are collection of exhibits not related to the military history: railroad equipment and machinery used in the early days of 150 years of local logging history including a Donkey engine.
