Redwood Meadows is located in a beautiful spot. Not overly crowded, clean facilities, and accommodating staff that helped us with an after hours arrival. Delicious diner for breakfast across the street, walking distance. Would love to stay here again!

Right next to the river and really nice spot. Clean restrooms and shower. Stayed in campgrounds area. Wear good shoes bc it's wet from all the mist.

Tent
We ended up being the only campers on an early November day, so Wayne graciously let us choose whichever site we liked. We pitched our tent right by the communal fire pit and picnic tables instead of a designated site. The ground was easy to drive stakes into, and Wayne even offered more substantial stakes in case they were needed.
His sweet dog (Cowboy) and horse (Coco) paid some very welcome visits. They're sneaky for treats, so watch your back! ;)
A hose is nearby that supplies filtered fresh spring water, and the toilet room is very convenient. The hot showers were down due to some construction, but we enjoyed our stay a lot! We would recommend this place as a nice getaway, or as a stop on your way to the redwoods or Eureka (we did both).

Quiet area with good hosts and very scenic. What you get here compared to other places is space, trees/nature and proximity to trails and the big redwoods.

It was the perfect place for us to camp the night. Very simple set up. Go to your tent site, spend the night and off in the morning--perfect!

This property is beautifully set with views of the mountains and forests all around (we got an amazing sunset!) and a stream / swimming hole with little beach right below. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, meeting us when we arrived to help us get situated, talking with us (also giving plenty of space and alone time, but always available and helpful if we needed anything), even offering fresh fruit and vegetables from their trees and garden. They have a friendly dog and horse which roam the property. Our stay was very enjoyable, peaceful, and relaxing.
The only possible downside is that it's somewhat challenging to get to--it's remote, and the handful of miles toward the end down a narrow, winding, at times unpaved (in one relatively short stretch, and then once on the property itself) road with occasional places to pass were a nail-biter, especially driving an RV--but the drive in and out was incredibly scenic and worth the experience in between.

It was my daughter... She needed a spot to stay for the night as she made her way back to Oregon. She reported that the spot was private, easy to find in the dark and that she LOVED Trinadad. I want to check it out now, myself

We really enjoyed our stay at this campground. The entire site was very clean and well-maintained, and the washrooms were spotless, which made our experience even more comfortable. Everything was well taken care of, and you can tell the staff put effort into keeping the place in great condition. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed tent camping at Chinook RV. The tent sites were great and easy to find on site! The bathrooms were clean and the location was very close to the Redwood National and State Forest(s). I was able to visit the Redwoods early the next morning in just a short drive!

My friends and I stayed one night here, we had a beautiful sunset with a great view of the scenery. I loved the dog off leash area, the convenience of the firewood and ice purchase. The bathrooms were clean and worked great! Only thing to be mindful is that it’s near the main road which means car noise at night and early in the morning.

The best big rig friendly camping near Crescent City guide
Where to go
The California Redwoods
Crescent City makes a great base for exploring the redwood Forest, named for the mammoth species of trees that dominate here, some of which are over a thousand years old. Here you can cruise along the 32-mile Avenue of the Giants to get great views of the forest, hike along the quiet Tall Trees Grove Trail, or even drive your car through a hollowed-out tree.
The California Coast Ranges
The coastal mountains inland from Crescent City Range offer ample opportunities for camping and backpacking, with a mix of deciduous and coniferous forests interspersed with streams and lakes. Much of the northern part of the range is preserved as the Klamath National Forest and the Six River National Forest.
Oregon's South Coast
Crescent City is less than a half-hour drive from the border with Oregon and offers easy access to what's arguably the prettiest stretch of the state's dramatic coastline. Spots worth visiting include the gorgeous Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor and the city of Coos Bay, known for its ample crabbing opportunities.
When to go
Crescent City has a temperate climate, with highs in the mid-50s in winter and in the mid-60s in summer. Winters here are considerably rainier than in the summer months, however, with an average of 14 days of rain in December and barely any showers at all in July and August. If you plan to hike or camp in the nearby redwoods, and don’t want to deal with summer crowds, consider visiting in September or early October.
