Klamath’s best kept secret

20 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Klamath, CA
We have been a family owned RV Park/Campground for over 40 years. This is a very rustic, old-fashioned campground located at the end of a neighborhood next to the river. As mentioned this is also a RV Park so there will be RVs on site. It is an open field campground dispersed with trees. Neighbors will be present. The river access is right over the levee just a few minutes walk from your campsite. Fishing on the river is allowed but you need a license. We are near the woods and river so wildlife is present. Please make sure your food is put away nightly to discourage critters from coming into camp. The campground is just a short drive from a selection of hiking or biking trails. As well as other attractions like the Jet Boat Tours and Trees of Mystery. Located at the end of a glen cell service in this area can be spotty or non existent depending on the carrier. Wifi is available near main house but is limited to emails, messaging and mapping your next adventure. We welcome people of all seasons. Just ask that you are kind and respectful to each other. Well Behaved Pets Are Allowed. Children and Laughter are Always Welcome. We look forward to your visit. August and September there will be fisher persons in the campground. So be warned of early morning engine noise as they head out to the river for fishing. Electric cars that want to charge there is a $10 fee at time of service. Must make arrangements ahead of a time because 50 amp services are limited. Plus you need to bring your own adapters.

The Forest Fairy Woods

4 sites · Lodging4 acres · Trinidad, CA
Welcome to my home: My Dad moved here when I was 4, and lived here til he passed away, so this land is very special to me. I've been rebuilding the structures and pouring my heart and soul into it since September of 2019, and I'm very proud of how far it's come. It's definitely a labor of love, and I truly believe I'll be making additions here for the rest of my life. People have been camping in the meadow in the summers since the 1950's, and I'm happy to carry on the tradition, by opening it up to you. There was a fire on the property in 1901 which cleared out the forest and left the burnt out stumps which you'll see by the shower. There's one old growth redwood on the property, behind the glampy tent, but everything else in roughly 120 years old. EXTRAS: If I'm around, I can show you the trails on the property. Extra blankets and towel rentals are available for a small fee, when available.

The best camping near Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park guide

Overview

About

What's more dramatic than a majestic old-growth redwood forest spanning 8 miles of rugged Pacific Ocean coastline? Del Norte is home to the tallest trees in the world. It's one of four North Coast national and state parks preserving 45 percent of the planet's old-growth redwood forests.

Pitch your tent at Mill Creek Campground, just south of Crescent City. It’s open from May 1-Sept. 30 with 143 sites without hookups but with paid showers. It's super clean and quiet — the perfect place to lay your head for big dreams under the gigantic trees.

Explore the remote, rocky coastline by descending the steep 2-mile Damnation Creek Trail. The 12.6-mile DeMartin Section of California’s Coastal Trail also traverses the park. It’s a not-to-be-missed, eye-candy adventure for hikers and cyclists.

Head to Wilson Creek (a.k.a. False Klamath Cove) for a relaxing picnic and stroll along the half-mile-long shore. Those tidepools are calling your name.

Notable campgrounds

  • Mill Creek Campground: Nestled in a lush valley surrounded by towering redwoods, offering a serene camping experience.
  • Family Campsites: Perfect for creating lasting memories with loved ones under the canopy of ancient trees.
  • Hike or Bike Campsites: Ideal for the more adventurous souls looking to connect with nature on a deeper level.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, as sites can be reserved up to six months in advance and fill up quickly due to the park's popularity.
  • Be flexible with your dates to increase your chances of securing a spot, especially during peak seasons.
  • Regularly check for cancellations, as plans change and previously booked sites may become available.
  • Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan in case the park's campgrounds are fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park is during the summer months when the weather is mild and the fog adds a mystical touch to the landscape. Winter brings powerful storms and is less ideal for visits, but the off-season offers solitude and the raw beauty of nature's force.

Know before you go

  • Check for any trail or area closures, such as the Mill Creek Restoration Area, which may affect your visit.
  • Remember that dogs are welcome in the park but are not allowed on trails, with the exception of service animals.
  • Prepare for the weather, as the park is known for summer fog and strong winter storms.
  • Accessibility is a priority, with features available for those with disabilities.
  • Always follow safety guidelines, especially when exploring the rugged and potentially hazardous coastal areas.
