    1st bedroom in Cabin 10
    Carolyn V.

    I love staying at Redcrest Resort when I'm in the Redwoods. They're rustic cabins but comfortable. It's a good spot to stay for playing tourist on the Avenue of the Giants. This trip I was here to do the Humboldt 5K and this is a good spot to stay at for it. One of the closest motels to the starting point. Not a lot of traffic on the Avenue at this time of year. You can sit on the porch and listen to nature disturbed only by the occasional car or RV driving by.

    The queen bedroom in our cabin.

    Absolutely amazing redwoods vacation. Our cabin was cozy and definitely a trip to make memories. My family and I stayed in the cabin it was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed.My children and I have pet fur allergies and with resorts that are pet friendly sometimes cause us to have allergic reactions. But our cabin was so clean and we didn't have an allergic reactions, which means they do throughly clean the cabins after guests leaves . The beds were all very nice to sleep in. The whole resort is so beautiful . The gift shop staff was very kind and sweet. Recommended different fun things to do and didn't mind having my children browse around multiple times during our stay. We stayed for 3 nights and all the staff were kind and generous with replenishing any necessities we needed. Being out in the redwoods and having such wonderful accommodations really made this family vacation very relaxing. We all can't wait to go back.

    I stopped here at Redcrest Resort & Gift Shop while driving the Avenue of the Giants scenic drive. It is located in the heart of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Redcrest has cabins and RV hookup spots if you want to stay overnight in the park. There is also a large gift shop out front with bathrooms and a big "Redwoods" sign for photo ops. I stopped in for a some snacks and to purchase a couple souvenirs before moving on to my next destination.

    Cute and quaint place to stay that's a short distance from the highway. There's 12 cabins with a couple that have 2 bedrooms. The second bedroom was really small, just large enough for a queen bed and small TV sitting on a side shelf. They do have two fans one in each room if you need to cool off since they don't have AC in the cabins. Stayed at the first part of June and the night still cools off, so you can open the windows if you need to cool off. The one downside staying in cabin 9 or 10 is the shed in the back and the spotlight that automatically turns on. There was a cat that kept turning it on all night and it was right where the second bedroom was. Recommend to turn that off for future guest. This place is small, so if you show up late, call so they can leave the key in the room if you are after 7pm. I ended up showing up right before 7pm so I was able to check in with the lady at the gift shop. My husband had other questions and went back down right after 7 to ask, which she was annoyed with, but she did follow up after giving my husband the information to make sure everything was working at the cabin. The cabin was clean and the couch turns into a futon bed if you need another bed. It's quiet and peaceful sitting outside enjoying the evening. Great little getaway for a nice weekend. There's 2-3 spots for small trailers. We have a 30ft and it would be a very tight squeeze into the units. There's dozens of tent camping spots too with shower and toilets for use. There's even a pet area for your animals to play.

    The Redcrest at Christmas

    I was in a Grinchy sort of mood as I drove south down the Avenue of the Giants one late evening last December. Suddenly, out of the darkness, I saw the Redcrest all ablaze in rows of Christmas lights. I'm a sucker for such things, so I pulled over and stayed the night. To stay at the Redcrest is a return back to the time of motel cabins that were popular in the 1950s and 60s before chain hotels and motels dotted the landscape. The cabins are simple affairs with cable TV, a good warm bed and a strong shower. I wasn't a Grinch the next morning. This Redcrest actually put me in the Christmas spirit for the rest of the season.

    The water has no place to drain and so it is left to sit on the slimy concrete.

    Ugh. Dirty bathrooms, no soap in the women's restroom and the showers are filthy. We stayed at a 30 amp site in our travel trailer. I turned on the water faucet and the water came out white and milky. So gross. I expect more.for $50 a night. I would never stay again. Keep looking. This place is awful.

    What nice motel manager these guys have. My son and arrived after 9 and they went out their way.. In their pajamas to help us into a cabin. Big fire pit.. Met a wonderful family from Ukraine. ..so nive.

    Fun vintage and rustic!

    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.

    Pros: The property features a charming and unique treehouse crafted from a hollowed-out redwood…read morestump -- a creative touch that adds rustic character and makes for a great photo op. Kids will love it, and it's a fun, unexpected highlight for travelers passing through. Cons: Nonexistent customer service: Reaching anyone at the office is nearly impossible. Calls go unanswered, and there's no clear way to get help if you need assistance during your stay. Neglected grounds: The RV park itself is cluttered with old trailers, scattered debris, and various abandoned items. It resembles a junkyard more than a welcoming campground. Unsafe water supply: Avoid hooking up to the on-site water. It runs an unappealing orangish-brown color and smells strongly of sulfur -- definitely not something you want near your drinking supply or plumbing.

I got completely lost in the magic of those towering redwoods , which honestly, I didn't mind one bit. The camp I originally planned to stay at ended up being closed for the season, and by then I was tired... but also a little nervous to camp alone in the forest. Then I stumbled across this place, and let me tell you, what a gift. The people were so friendly and accommodating, and the whole atmosphere just felt safe and peaceful. The bathrooms and showers? So clean. The other campers? Quiet and respectful. I didn't end up using the pool or hot tub, but I peeked in while pulling up, and it looked calm and cozy , the kind of place you can actually unwind. I felt so comfortable that I slept like a baby. Woke up feeling thankful , truly thankful , for the kindness of strangers and the little moments that make solo travel so worth it. I'll definitely be back... next time with my family.

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!

That being said, there's very limited cell service, if any, which can be a pro and a con. There are many trails that lead to views or the nearby creeks, although most are not dog friendly so keep that in mind if you're bringing your furry friend. They have large campsite bonfires where campers are invited to learn about different facts about the environment and animals in the area, which is fun for children. There are clean bathrooms and showers which are available on both sides of the campground. Showers are operated by quarters so bring a a couple rolls. Each campsite has a decent amount of space and has its own table, fire pit, and bear proof locker. I've seen bears in the area but they are very peaceful and keep to themselves and just want to eat the apple trees. My favorite time to go is end of July and August because the blackberry bushes are fruiting, and you can make fresh blackberry pancake pancakes in the morning (although they have cut a lot of of the blackberry bushes down since they are invasive, so you have to walk a little farther to find them). Overall it's a very peaceful and beautiful campground that I find my self return returning to every year.
