Not a resort but an ok stop. With so many other options in the area can’t say I’d return. Many sites are buddy, all are slim and had the park been full we wouldn’t have fit, dog area was nice, “amenities” only available for 2 two hour shifts a day while we were out exploring and because of that shouldn’t be listed as amenities. Did the job, no issues with functional hookups, work campers were helpful and other guests were nice and welcoming.

The photos show the best parts and leave out the permanent residents. I felt unsafe and left after 30 mins. One of the other guests/residents could hardly control her larger dogs. I felt like she was about to be drug across the campground by her dogs.

We were upgraded to Meadowview because the Riverview VRBO had a broken refrigerator. The mobile home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a den. The location was perfect. One of the two drive thru a Redwood tree is 1.8 miles away. The Trees of Mystery were about 5 miles away. Walking trails weren’t far either. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a beautiful location and check in was very easy (envelope with info was on the door of office). I was never able to access any staff in the 4 days we stayed however. The grounds were clean, water was hot, but the bathrooms were very dirty- spider webs all over, super dirty walls (blood wiped on inside of the toilet stall for the whole time I was there) and shower stalls were really dirty. Laundry facility was clean.

Nice campground on the river. Location was perfect on the 101 just north north of the river to explore the Redwood Forest north and south. Some of the renters are long terms but it was very quiet and clean.
