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.

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).

Weekend Trip to Redwood Family Camp
It was the coziest cabin and friendliest people. The showers are nice and hot and water pressure is great.The weather got cold unexpectedly, and I was offered a heater for my little cabin.
They have trash disposal, and a more than reasonably priced laundromat.

Weekend Trip to Redwood Family Camp
We really enjoyed our stay in the cabin! The campground is in a great location giving us the opportunity to tour the amazing redwood forests. Clean bathrooms and hot showers were great. The nights got chilly so we made use of the electric heater. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip out to this beautiful, special place.

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!

We only stayed for one night. The place is conveniently located near freeway. We appreciate the full hookup. Less to worry about when traveling. The only suggestion I would make is to make the direction and space number to the assigned space more clearly. But I think most places are like this. We arrived late so it took a little bit to look around for the assigned space to park.

1 night at Explore the Trinity Alps!
What an incredible story this place has. The owners have clearly followed God's creative direction and created a heavenly oasis in the middle of the Trinity Alps. The highlight for sure is rafting down the river, which I didn't have enough time to do. This is def a family camp, stay for a few days kinda place. My studio room was big and clean and had everything I needed microwaving my dinner and a quick breakfast. Although you could happily be fed every meal and drink at the cafe!

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.

Nice campground located right on the Klamath river. We only stopped for one night on our trip down 101. Quiet, nice bathrooms, and right down the road from Trees of Mystery. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Redwood Family Camp
It’s remote but connected to WiFi. It has hotttt showers and a safe cozy place to sleep surrounded by towering huge old growth trunks with fairy rings. It’s very chill with everything you need including laundry and power✨ so close to avenue of the giants and a few amazing hikes to the tall tree, giant tree, and ancient old growth forests. Worth it for a great price! I stayed in Cabin Love!

We absolutely loved our stay at Camp Trinidad! Hands down the best RV camp we’ve been to. The grounds are so well maintained, the sites are spotless, and the amenities are fantastic. Everything feels thoughtfully cared for, and it really shows. The staff is truly the best! Huge shout out to Lee! They are all welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. It made our stay feel easy and relaxing. We can’t wait to come back!!! We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-run RV camp!
