Does this sound okay? Lassen/Redwoods plans
I'm almost ready to make reservations for my first real long camping adventure with my 18' TT. My farthest trip last summer was about 400 miles and about a week in length.
The plan is to stop in Klamath Falls OR to visit the grandparents and then hit Lassen NP for two nights. Next, we take one day to explore the Avenue of the Giants and two days to explore the northern redwoods. After that, we'll head up the Oregon Coast and back to home.
Manzanita Lake was recommended in Lassen NP. I was also wondering about Summit Lake CG?
I was thinking I'd take Hwy 299 to Hwy 101. (I read somewhere Hwy 36 is narrow and has lots of sharp corners.) If I take Hwy 299, I thought it would make sense to drop the trailer off near Arcata since we'll be heading to the northern Redwoods the next day. We plan to have hookups that day so we can be sure and charge the TT's battery. The KOA in Eureka looks like a pretty safe bet, but maybe there's something closer to the junction of 299 and 101?
For the next night, Prairie Creek Campground was recommended. The night after that could be Prairie Creek again or somewhere north- even boondocking at a Northern CA Casino or something.
Do these campgrounds sound like good choices given what's available in the area? Any other advice or recommendations?
Thanks all,
Jeff
