Redwood National Forest

There are several in or near Eureka but not sure which you are talking about. We have stayed at Riverwalk RV Park and found it very nice but Ancient Redwoods RV Park on the Avenue of the Giants near Redcrest is our favorite.

Me too. As of now I am thinking about Panther Flat - USFS

I stayed at Ancient Redwoods RV in May and also checked out a couple others in the area. The others weren't even close to the quality of Ancient. Highly recommended.

I would go north to Jedediah smith state park or there is one that you can watch elk from between arcata and Klamath.

Ancient Redwoods is OK, but there is no shade at all in the site area, and it can be hot during the summer.

We were at Ancient Redwoods last week and as stated earlier there was not much shade. We were out exploring the area during the day so there was no need to run the AC. The employees were very friendly and helpful. JMO

I am leaving for the redwoods in the morning. I have been going up there every 2 years or so for the last 15 years. We stay in Klamath CA this time at http://www.klamathcampercorral.com/ In the past stayed at KampKlamath. Klamath is in the heart of the redwoods. You can work out north or south 1-1.5 hour and see everything.

We like Kamp Klamath, but it is not for everyone. Great location for Prairie Creek. Great whalewatching right nearby. Away from the highway. Great BBQ every Sat. night with really great live music.

But the facilities are very limited -- the bathrooms are not good due to regulatory hassles between the owner (a great guy) and the govt. If you are ok using the facilities in your own rig (including showering), this is a very good RV park. FHU, of course. Nice landscaping.

We have been back several times, and DW is a fanatic about the redwoods. Which are almost 800 miles from our home. A long, dull drive. But these are special trees.

Let us know if you need recommendations for hikes and bike rides.
