The owner, Tonya, judged the condition of how I left cabin by looking at 2 photos of the rug and charged me $245 to $250 for a pet fee that I should never have incurred. I'm contesting it. Even the housekeeper saw that I left that cabin spotless!!!!!!!! I was shocked! The owner literally should be stopped from doing this scam on any one else!!!!! Consider yourself warned. Don't go here. The owner is dishonest at the very LEAST. read more

This place is amazing! From cabins, to pull through and back in RV sites to Tent Camping and a Vacation House, they have it all!

Redcrest Resort has become our go-to get-a-way location in the woods! Its an easy drive up Highway 101, and close to amenities. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We travel with two large dogs so finding places to stay can be challenging. We have stayed at the Redcrest Resort three times now and every time has been pleasant. The resort is located right in the middle of the Avenue of the Giants. The cabins are cute, quaint, and clean. The cabins with kitchens have everything you need to cook meals. There's always plenty of hot water for washing and showers. There's large lawn areas with some games and swings. The staff has always been nice to us when we stayed so I am confused by some of the other reviews. I was very excited that they had a cabin available Memorial Day weekend when I called only a week before the holiday. The resort is quiet and I feel safe staying there. read more

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. read more

My review for the Redcrest Resort Giftshop: https://www.yelp.com/biz/redcrest-resort-giftshop-redcrest The resort itself is pleasant, quiet, with deer wandering the property along with many birds and other wildlife. Located in the depths of California's gorgeous 20 mile stretch of The Avenue of the Giants, this is a perfect little spot to spend with your family that's reasonable, convenient & definitely a throw-back to another time. Slower IS often better than speed in the case of places like this so go, enjoy and relax. We loved it! read more

This review is for the RV portion of the resort. I don't want to ding this place for what they are so I will just give it four stars. This is an easy place to get in and out of, it is clean and convenient. Hook ups were good and spaces were mostly level. The entire site is gravel, spaces are an okay-is size, some are better than others. We came for spring break and even though it is a little early in the season we were surprised that we were the only people on the property. They had a nice grass area with some beat up toys for the kids. Hot tub and group fire pit were closed with the world-wide flu shutting things down. Don't come here expecting the world, just appreciate what and where it is and go about your day. read more

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. read more

Had vehicle issues. Closest place. 205$ for a shitty 1940s cabin. Fairly clean, but really...uh.."rustic". And im over 50... couldndt park my truck full of all my valuables at the cabin. Had to park 200 feet away on the road, in their "rv" spot... Absolutely noone else there. Slept in the truck the till 1am...i was so pissed. Then sat on the couch holding the broken shade up, till i passed out. Total bs. Shower is so tiny, nothing is ever not touching anything....wow. avoid this shit hole if at all possible. Really, really terrible. Avoid. It was better than nothing..... read more

I am absolutely in love with this place. We stayed recently for two nights the first weekend of November. It has that wholesome mom & pop hospitality that I adore being from the south. I travel a lot as a corporate traveler and large hotel chains really lose that comfort touch. They are super accommodating and the cabins are cute. There's a clean hot tub that's not uncomfortably hot. A nice trail behind the cabins and a walk through tree. They literally give you everything needed for your stay including enough coffee for one pot. Dishes, soap, extra blankets, etc. They have different check in options depending on what time you arrive. We decided to grill one night and locked ourselves out of our cabin. One quick stop by the night office got us right back in. FYI - the cabin doors lock by themselves when they shut if you have the handle turned a certain way so take your key everywhere. And after unlocking our door, they were even kind enough to give us charcoal lighter fluid as we didn't purchase any and our charcoal for grilling wasn't self starting... oops. The gift shop is cute and the attendants were super helpful. They stock some pretty awesome jackets at great prices in case you didn't pack appropriately for the weather. We stayed in Cabin 4 and received the winter rates. They were kind enough to even offer us a discount on top of the inexpensive rates. The area is safe and super quiet. There is low water pressure in the cabin shower which is pretty normal but the water gets nice and hot! Our cabin had two queen which were super comfortable. The cabin was clean, warmed by a gas heater, and they even provided you with a stand fan. Literally I can't even think of anything that was missing during our stay! This place is amazing and we will be back! read more

Well, it starts with my friend booking a place for us to stay in the beautiful Avenue of the Giants in the Humboldt Forest in Northern California. She booked this place based on their description over the phone (their website does not host pictures) where she was told that we had the only house on the property located deep in the woods. We arrived to find ourselves staying in a street adjacent mobile home (1 of 14 mobile homes, mind you) with a sewage main pumping into the lawn not more than ten feet away from the home itself. The home is nothing remarkable except for an outdated design of non-luxurious living space. We were then constantly rudely harassed by the staff for a new rule that they never explained to us in the first place. In fact they constantly spoke to us like we were children, about everything. For that, I did not visit their gift shop They told us when we checked in that dogs need to be on a leash at all times on property. Okay. We go on a hike and return not more than 90 minutes later to find that our cabin is locked up. We find our way back in anyway, just assuming the door was sticking. 15 minutes later the staff comes rolling up in their electric cart to yell at us, and I mean "yell", as in loudly delivering rude dialogue, because apparently the reason our cabin was locked is because they wanted us to come talk to them, something that could have been accomplished with a note, but they decided to lock us out instead. Now we are being yelled at for leaving our pets unattended, which was not explained to us, and that they were on furninture, also not explained to us. Apparently having 12 pounds of pets on furniture is detrimental to the environment. Then they threatened us with a $250 fee. We apologized and said that it won't happen again, which wasn't good enough for them to stop yelling. I could understand getting angry if we were staying in their personal home, we're not. We're patrons, paying customers,renting our own dwelling, who don't deserve this kind of rudeness. Most of the weekend was spent feeling like we were constantly being watched. Any time we would ask a staff member anything, they would answer with "it's in your manual". Yes, manual. In our kitchen was a sixty page binder that they claim explicitely explains all the rules and nuances of their fine establishment - it doesn't . Cuz that's what I want when I go on vacation - homework. We got a dirty staredown from them as we rolled away in our van and watched as they immediately mosied over to our cabin to inspect things while we were still pulling away. And it should be noted that we took the high road and left the place spick and span before hitting the road. There's probably a surcharge for that too. All in all, I give this place two big thumbs down and would not recommend this place to anyone. Unless your ideal vacation is rude staff, smell of sewage, being yelled at for rules that don't exist, and constantly feeling like having a good time will warrant another yelling session with the owners. Next year, I'm considering San Quentin Prison as a happy alternative to this place. read more

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. read more

Nice and cozy cabin in Avenue of the giants. Slightly expensive at $170 per night but the location makes up for it. Highly recommended if you dont like camping but want to stay close to the forest read more

On our way home from Gold Beach we decided to stop and see the redwoods. We reserved the site for 2 nights. When we arrived I let them know we decided to stay only 1 night. The lady said there was a 14 day cancellation window and was too late to cancel. Once we got to our site (we stayed in campsite 14) I can understand why. Once someone sees how small the sites are they would run for the hills. Our 30 foot travel trailer barely fit, but there was no where to park our truck. There was a picnic table that we had to move to fit the trailer, but no fire ring. This is fine as there was no room to put our camp chair out and enjoy the beautiful redwood trees. I was given a bathroom code, but when my boys when to go find the bathroom they were told all they had was outhouses. As we settled in to our trailer we realized there was no wi-if and no service. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. WORST CAMPGROUND EVER! read more

I loved it here! It's like stepping back in time. My cabin was clean, comfortable, and under the Redwoods,( last cabin #12). Staff member Jannell was so sweet and helpful! She was very informative of the area and so helpful in answering all my questions. I'll definitely be back! read more

Place is an excellent place to stay relaxing and quiet. Unfortunately one of the owners is a complete asshole, very disrespectful. Stayed here 5 days and even when a wrong turn is made and you drive 10 miles an hour he screams at people. Kicking people off property not realizing one is paying to stay here. He lives in the property and because of this I will never return. The staff is great it's unfortunate that owner is an Ass. read more

Here are the facts! Nice place, good facilities, nice cabins. Price was on on par for the area. We got a really nice cabin for $165 with two beds and it was very well appointed, exceptionally clean, functional and we really enjoyed our stay. This place was cleaner than I have ever experienced in the "Redwood" are. The staff was nice and pleasant. However, I must say, they really need to work on their staffing. First off we arrived and there was nobody there! it was 6:30pm on a Wednesday. We followed the signs, and finally found someone counting the till in a closed gift shop who agreed to come rent us a cabin. After waiting for about 30 minutes he finally found the "manager" who came and rented us a cabin. Other than that small issue, it was a wonderful experience! This place has focus on quality in the rooms, the cabin was immaculate, the kitchen and bathroom were completely awesome. The beds we comfortable, not lame motel beds. The linens were very clean and didn't scare us at all. There was satellite TV, and a DVD player, they even had a dozen old DVD's to play. If I judged this place on room quality alone, 4.9 stars! (I don't give 5 stars unless my world is rocked) WiFi is kind of lame, not provided, you have to sign on to a private company for 10 bucks a day. I am posting this from free wifi just 100 miles away in a cheap ass motel. The location is in a remote area so this should not be a negative, you just need to know. It is off the grid for ATT users, no idea bout Verizon and the others. We were not smokers, but they were very heavy handed about smoking, they threatened charges of like $500 bucks if we smoked in the room and stuff like that. Thankfully we both are "on the wagon" and we just used our vape's on the porch. I would stay here again and likely will, its a great place in a good location. You can stay south of it for 100 a night in a motel, or north of it for 80 a night in a scary Eureka shit hole. Your choice. read more

My sister and I stayed here 3 yrs ago and enjoyed being right on the Ave of the Giants. But we had a bad experience here this year though. I booked a cabin for 4 nights for my sister's birthday. My sister lives in the Bay Area and I'm in NorCal so we met here. The owners live on site and are very controlling about their guests. Each cabin only has one very small parking space. Because we came in separate vehicles one of us had to park on the street. Not very convenient!! There is an extra parking space close to our room that was not being used, but we we told to move our car just in case someone else needed it. After spending $560 here in November when it's raining you would think they would be more flexible! But no! So, we won't give them our business again! For the record, cabins are small but clean & comfortable. They provide a lot of the basics for your stay which is great. The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful. The owners should provide additional parking for paying customers!!! read more

Thumbs up stay here in the Redwoods...this place is so awesome been trying to get a job with them. Do not pass it up try it you will like it. Quaint little out doorstep cottages that give being in the redwoods a whole new feel to being big warm and inviting... Thank you Redcrest Resort! read more

I didn't stay here, but still feel compelled to write a scathing review based on my experience with the front-desk staff a couple weeks ago. I'm still seething. Basically what happened is that my car broke down on the highway, around 9 at night. My girlfriend and I hiked into Redcrest using our cell phones as flashlights (no reception, so couldn't use them as actual phones), tired and frustrated and a little unnerved to be walking around the not-too-populated town after dark. We were relieved to find the Redcrest Resort. Knocked on the door, and someone yelled at us from the other side, "what do you want?" We asked to use their phone, as didn't have any coins for the pay phone outside and didn't have cell reception. The response we got: "We can't allow you to use our phone. It's against policy." All from behind a closed door, in an annoyed tone. To which we were like, "Are you serious? We broke down on the highway and need to call AAA." No response. Luckily someone from the town found us wandering aimlessly in the street and helped us. But we resolved to write a crappy Yelp review because we were so horrified at the lack of hospitality and basic human decency we experienced. Worst desk staff ever! read more

We camped here for two days and we were all really surprised by how incredibly rude the staff were on a regular basis. They act as though all the customers are crooks that are trying to swindle them at every turn, by doing things like (horror of horrors!) not putting their parking sticker in precisely the right spot in the car, an offense for which you will be shouted at and threatened. One nasty piece of work in particular likes to monitor the campsites in his golf cart and you'd better watch out if you haven't done everything exactly as he likes it to be done. Rather than offer gentle reminders in a pleasant and amicable tone, he immediately adopts a belligerent attitude and will tell you how you will be booted out right away if you do not follow orders. Serious control freak who likes to demonstrate his immense power. Best way to deal with him: just smile and say thank for you for the reminder, then have a good laugh with your friends. I gave this place two stars because the shower was really good - clean, lots of hot water, and great water pressure. If you can deal with the pathetic staff and don't mind camping on the side of a road (this is NOT "in the heart of the redwoods" as they advertise - you can hear traffic both from the main road and 101), then it's good value for money. read more

Not happy with the vacation house we stayed in with our grandkids. A few spiders found inside house; my husband found a nasty bite on his arm. The bathroom floor and tub worn out a lot. One roll of toilet paper for 6 of us..I am sure they would have given us more if we asked....but I should have too. Gas heater and no carbon dioxide monitor found and I looked for it....so slept with the thermostat off. The Teflon pans in the kitchen all scratched and bent...scary to use. King bed extremely uncomfortable and itchy...ended up on sofa bed sleeper. During COVID we stayed but this is not a a acceptable place to stay, we left early....People need to take pride in their resort. I do not like writing negative comments but those taking advantage of us need to be called out. read more

Horrible customer service. I called to make a reservation and was told they were too busy to complete the reservation and would call me back, but assured me that they would save the dates for me. No one called me back and when I called them they had given my reservation away, and instead made me feel like it was my fault for not calling back sooner even though initially I was prepared to complete the reservation it was them that were too busy to do it. Very disappointing! read more

I enjoyed this quiet little place. Found it just passing through. The woman helping us suggested we take space 27 but if we didn't like it, she would easily change it. We loved it. It was all by itself between 2 cabins. The bathrooms were very clean. There was a previous post that was contrary to this but we were told the management had done some repairs and upgrades to get AAA rating. They have a hot tub, swings, tetherball, horseshoes and volleyball. They also have a very nice group fire pit and free wood is available for all. read more

Wowee...sure glad I didn't read these scathing reviews before I went or I never would have stayed there. To be fair, all of those scathing reviews are true. The owners are rude and act like they don't want your business. They have hundreds of miniscule rules with giant fines that they don't publicize. It's right off the road and not deep in the woods. But you know what...there is also a lot of great things about this place too! First, when I called for reservations they tried to talk me into a bigger, more expensive cabin than I needed, and when I told them I just wanted the small #9, they were quite cross with me. I went on a roadtrip, just me and my dog. We were about half an hour away, stopped in Legget at the Chandelier drive-thru tree, when I locked my keys in the car. It took the town's only mechanic over two hours to make room in his schedule for me, and over and hour to get my keys out. Anyway, I called Redcrest Resort and let them know I might be late. They were genuinely concerned for my safety. I arrived around 6:30pm, it was dark, and I had called to let them know I was on my way. When I went to the office and pressed the buzzer I was greeted by an angry "YEAH?!?!". Geez people. A big guy and some other big guy brought me in the office and filled out my paperwork, all the while staring at me and smiling a dazed look that makes the hairs on your neck stand up. You know, that creepy, stalker, I'll-sleep-with-a-knife-under-my-pillow, so-glad-I-brought-my-eighty-pound-dog-with-me kind of smile. Yeah. Well I got into my cabin, it was so cute, quaint and cozy. I ramped up the heater and it got toasty quick. Leila (the aforementioned eighty-pound lab) and I had a good dinner and watched a movie. I did NOT sleep well at all. I might as well have slept on the floor with Leila. The bed was hard and the pillows flat. I read through their travel guide which looked like a book a kindergartener had cut and paste together. Absolutely no sense of logic or useful information. And every other page listed a new rule and threatened sky-high fees for breaking them. Not quite the "welcome" package I had expected. Well I stayed two nights and enjoyed the conveniences and hot shower. The staff glared at me as they drove by on their golf carts. They didn't interact with me. The gift shop was very nice and the staff in there helped me quite a bit. Besides their lack of custom service and piece of crap bed, I enjoyed my stay. It was convenient and within my budget. I only half-heartedly recommend it though. I definitely do not recommend if you have messy, disobedient pets or children, simply because of the STRICT rules of fines. read more

Very Cute little place right off the 101 Hwy on the scenic Avenue-of the Giants in Humbolt State Park. It has little cabins, even a big cabin and a few RV spots for RV's up 36ft. A great little gift shop as well! The young gal in the gift shop that checks you in is very sweet and VERY informative about the area! They have WiFi, clean bathrooms and even a little playground if you have children. Thank You Redcrest Resort for a great stay read more

As you roll into the clearing in Redcrest, CA ( Population 112, Elevation 530 ft) you see a tacky looking souvenir shop and a line of faded green cabins. What a great place. Our cabin with two queen beds and a futon was immaculate, with a fully equipped kitchen. The only negative on the inside was a tight bathroom, with a tight fit around the shower door for those with a high BMI. The front yard had plenty of activities available for everyone,(horseshoes, frisbee golf, table tennis, hot tub, fire pit etc.) Anyone from newlyweds, young families, teen families, or seniors could have a great stay here. The staff was very courteous and helpful in finding nearby dining, trails and activities. We paid $170 per night, which seemed high at first, but was a great value. No AT&T cell phone service. read more

WOW! I was reading through some of the reviews and our experience was so different that some. The staff was very nice to us. We came upon the cabins while exploring the area. So we did not find it via the internet or anything like that. We stayed two nights, had a great time. It was myself and my 7 year old son, he loved the hot tub and table tennis. I was happy to have a kitchen. The price was a bit more than we would have liked to spend and the showers were coffin sized. Those are the only con's that we experienced. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will come back for another. read more

This is the second year in a row that we've stayed here, and I still don't understand all the bad reviews. This is a great place - very clean - right in avenue of the giants. The cabin has everything you could possibly want, and the staff has always been super nice to us. This is a rural area of Humboldt, not a five star Ritz Carlton. It's homey and country - quiet and relaxing - right in the middle of the biggest redwoods in the World! It's a steal of a deal! I guess don't come here if you want a super luxury resort. Come here if you want a nice, clean place to stay in the redwoods! Nature. Outdoors. Humboldt County. Not Orange County... Keep that in mind. read more

My husband and I stayed here and we'll definitely be coming back! It's perfectly positioned on the Avenue, you can access the freeway easily and you're about 1/3 from the Northern most access point. Our room was recently renovated and was super comfortable. New bed, new carpet, new fixtures. We reserved a room with no kitchen, but it did come with a fridge, microwave and wine glasses. Perfect for what we needed! The room also had a flat screen with HDMI inputs so we were able to hook up the iPad and watch a movie. They also have a hot tub! Perfect end to our evening. I took away 1 star for customer service. When booking our stay I reserved the room with a credit card, when we arrived, I was hoping to use a different one (I do this a lot, reserve with a cc and pay with debit and this is never a problem). She gave me some lame excuse why they couldn't and I had to give her the one I reserved with. They don't have a computer system and had to charge the room by running the card, so I'm not sure why using a different one would be a problem. I also asked to use the WiFi and they were VERY apprehensive about giving out the password. I had to listen to a 15 minute lecture about using their WiFi. In the end, once we checked in, we never saw or needed to interact with them again. read more

It was a good place to spend a night. The cabin was nice. Were I an eighty year old man traveling California with my wife in our Buick La Sabre, it would have been amazing. Matching Laz-E-Boy recliners, tons of wood paneling, plastic flowers decorating every surface. I really liked being able to look out the back window of the cabin and see into the redwood forest. Maybe even saw Sasquatch wander by... read more

It's a nice place. My wife and I stayed here after finding it on the Internet. The Cabin was nice and clean. If any complaint I could come up with is the check-in process. We were told to call if we were going to be after 6 well, we couldn't cause there is very spotty Cell service and no pay phones around ( pay phone....what's that??). We arrived here around 6:30 and everything was closed! Even the the gift shop that you are to check in "after hours". Someone just happened to be there closing up and helped us out. They might wanna have an after hours lock box with the key in it and give you a code to get the key....just an idea. Anyway, all in all a nice overnight stay! If we're back we'll stay again! read more

Redcrest Resort - RV Parks Near Me - Redcrest, California

The only reason we didn't give this 5 stars was because the beds were horrible and there was no where on the website that stated "be prepared!" What I mean by that is the entire town closes early and there's NOWHERE to get supplies (food, diapers, stuff to make s'mores, anything!) Make sure to stop in Garberville if you're heading north if you need anything prior. The cabin itself was great! It felt super homey and clean. It came equipped with an oven, microwave, eating utensils, pans, flat screen TV, DVDs, etc. The only downside were the mattresses, they were super hard and felt like they were covered in plastic. Not comfortable. At all. No cell service and no wifi. This could be good and bad, depending on what you're looking for. The staff was super nice and welcoming. The cafe across the street was delicious! There's a general store across the street that was supposed to open the next morning.... But there were spider webs on the door handles, pretty sure it hasn't been opened in forever. The experience overall was very pleasant, peaceful, and enjoyable! Definitely coming back :) read more

If I could give them negative stars, I would!! This place is horrible. Please notice on their website their prices say, "starting price" they believe they can charge whatever they feel like that when you check in. They are extremely rude when you are checking in so it makes you want to get the check in over with quickly. In doing so, they put in a much higher price and you sign not paying attention. When you point this out, they refer you back to the "starting price" line and since you have signed and given them your credit card they refuse to be an ethical business and refund you the money. We were overcharged by over $300! Other visitors confirmed that they did it to them as well. Do not stay here!! There is mold on the ceiling. The carpets are stained. The water comes out to cold or to hot. But all of that is not the worst. The worst is the staff there has no class and will stand there and raise their voice (super rude) and they do not care that there are other customers present. Too bad I didn't read the reviews before we booked. My family and I were so appalled at this place. They mistreated all of us. They were RUDE to each and everyone of us. Overcharged all of us!! I hope I can save anyone else from having to have their vacations ruined with people like this. When people go on vacation it is not be taken advantage of so blatantly and to be mistreated. If you don't want your vacation ruined. Skip this place!!!! They have no business sense, morals or business etiquette. read more

I stayed here on my way down from Ocean Shores, WA, to Camarillo, CA to visit my family for the Holidays. It had been a long day of driving and this was the perfect place to stop for the night. The cabin I had was clean and comfortable and the heater gave off enough heat to get the room up to a very comfortable temperature, despite the cold December night. It is quiet and peaceful there, with a gazillion stars blazing above the redwoods and the air has that lovely, redwood forest smell that nothing else can match. The best thing about staying here was, believe it or not, the water. I have not drunk water that tasted as fresh, pure and clean as the water from the wells there in longer than I can actually remember. Make sure you bring a couple of one gallon jugs and fill them and your water bottles before you leave. The only down side was that the shower head could definitely stand to be higher; I'm 5'7" and it was still a bit low for me. Despite that, I will most definitely stay here again! read more

I attended a wedding recently located at the Women's Federation Grove. Or, at least, it was supposed to be located there. Unfortunately for the bride, it rained the entire day of her wedding. Why am I telling you this? Because thanks to the owners of the Redcrest Resort, our family found an alternative location, and the reception was able to be held. That is not all these wonderful owners did for our family. They helped get generators started, loaned us extension cords...virtually anything we needed, they were willing to help. Of course, this resort could not be in a more beautiful location. Right in the heart of the Avenue of the Giants-- less than 6 miles from Scotia. You can get lost in the beauty. Our wedding party rented several of their rooms, and the rooms were perfect for our needs. They are not "fancy", but they are very clean and well stocked. Each had a kitchen, with refrigerators, stoves and all the kitchen needs like plates, forks and cups, toasters, coffee makers, irons, hair dryers, etc. We had a flat screen TV, a DVD player, along with a nice selection of movies in the room. The beds were very comfortable and the linens and towels were clean and plentiful. I cannot recommend this resort enough-- especially if you are having a large group or hosting an event such as a wedding. The staff and owners here are extremely accomodating-- they really care about their resort and their visitors. In all the chaos, we lost a room key, and they didnt charge us for it--- and even called us to reassure they had found it. And later, when I was home, I realized I left my very expensive bracelet in one of the rooms, and the owners immediately called me back, let me know they found it, and mailed it to my home. This type of customer service and honesty is incredibly rare. They have customers for life with my entire family. We will definitely be back again--and we now count these fine people as friends. read more

Located on scenic Avenue of the Giants, this quaint resort offers rest for all. The rental cabins have so many great extras you feel as though you never left home! Every cabin has a full kitchen. The cabin was roomy and our family of four didn't feel cramped in our 1 bedroom cabin. The RV spaces have full hook-ups. Camp sights can accommodate tents as well. The resort offered a large grassy area to play ball, badminton, frisbee golf or swing. There is also a hot tub on sight. The resort is pet-friendly and offers a separate pet area for your four legged family members. The staff was friendly and helpful with tips on local sights and eateries. We will definitely use this resort every time we visit the redwoods! read more
