We drove through both areas in our 25’ C and liked the Avenue of the Giants very much which runs parallel to 101 for about 30 miles. There are pulloffs where you can get out to take photos. Definitely go to the visitor center at Humboldt Redwoods SP - they have a good video with old newsreels about the original town of Weott that was wiped off the map by a big flood.
Go early to get a parking spot at Founders Grove - it has a very enjoyable easy trail through the enormous trees.
We stayed in Redcrest at Ancient Redwoods RV a couple of months ago, right on the Avenue. Nice spot with a popular gift shop in the office, nice wood carving section.
On the way south from Crescent City, plan a lunch stop at the famous Samoa Cookhouse. Come hungry.
