Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort

Chris Curtin

This was our first time visiting the Mendocino Redwoods. We took our trailer for 4 nights. We ended up staying in 27, we originally had 21 but they were able to accommodate us with a change. There was no shade in 21 during the day. I would love to see more sites have full hookups. First, I will start with the campsite. 27 in by far the best in the area. I felt like it had the largest patio, best shade, and you were facing the cabins on the end cap so you didn't feel like someone was always looking in your site. There was only one cabin occupied while we were there. Unfortunately this year the yellowjackets were out of control and so that was the only downfall. GREAT VIEW of the mountains, we also had a lightning show on the last night. 27 is a full hookup site as well. Activities: The activities were in full swing while we were there. The stay was 9/15-9/19 to give reference. The splash pad was active, the people who worked there would turn it on when we asked. The pool was perfect in my opinion, very clean, it was mid 80s and 90s during our stay. There also had a kid pool at 1.5 ft deep, it was probably a 10 by 10 pool. It was perfect for my kids. They also had a hottub. There was an animal spot where there were two goats, two pigs, a few bunnies. Nice to see some sweet animals hanging around. Next to the petting zoo was the tube area. It was decent size, I was kind of surprised by it. Kids spent hours in there. Great obstacle course for them. Playgrounds were pretty run down and I wouldn't call one a playground. I would love to see more renovations in that aspect. They had an 18 hole mini golf course, that was actually pretty hard lol. It is free when you stay, you go to the front desk to get balls and clubs. You just need to return by the end of the day. Great fun. They have a pond for fishing, it's a decent size pond and the kids loved it. A short walk from the RV site, not even 5 minutes. They sell live worms and other accessories at the store. In the back of the park there is an RC track. We used a small RC on it which was cool but the main attraction was my kids riding their bikes. It's great to have them do laps, with jumps and turns. Really good spot. You can hike around the pond which is .5 mile loop, very steep in some areas. They do have a disc golf course which leads you around the loop. I believe it's 18 holes but most holes are not maintained anymore and some paths to the holes are not maintained. There are still a good amount of holes if you wanted to. Things to do nearby: The skunk train does operate a few times a week and it does have holiday themes depending on the time you go. The skunk train DOES pick up in the campsite which is super cool. The kids loved watching it, however it's expensive of around $70 per person. Willits is the nearby city, plenty of shops to get things for you camping trip if you need. Overall: We loved this place. It was clean, the activities were so much fun for the kids. The sites were clean and spacious, if you got the right one! 27 is the best! The people who worked there were super nice and kept up on upkeep on buildings/trash/bathrooms. We will be going back, we really enjoyed our stay. I do wish some of the "arcades" were open, there were a handful of buildings that were locked up, like arcades and other activates. We didn't look much into it with our kids being young. I would recommend this place to anyone. Overall 4.5/5 Stars.

I'm leaving a 3 star review because of the horrible bee issue. It's not just one or 2 sites it's all of the campsites. You cannot eat or cook outside because you get swarmed by meat bees/ yellow jackets. And there nothing you can do about it. We put up be traps which we caught a lot but it didn't really matter there are to many. Another problem is the shower facilities. There were 3 showers only 1 had hot water, weird, right? and the water pressure was terrible. There was no place to set your stuff down on. The staff was really nice and there's a lot of things to do with the kids. Nice pool, hot tub and kids swimming pool, I like that. But because you can't cook or eat outside it sucked.

We came camping here for the second time this last week. The first time being about 5 years ago(different owners) the campground was so clean and well managed! We had a few small hiccups at our site and the staff were amazing and on top of helping where they could! Every staff member we came across was so nice and helpful! My kids were so excited to play in the splash pad that was not open last time we came! They also loved seeing the animals! We will definitely be back! Great family camp site!

Our Motorhome broke down not far from this campground so we limped in hoping for a spot and we were pleasantly surprised! The staff was exceptional, especially the maintenance manager, Oscar as went above and beyond to help us in our dire situation. He is a retired master technician and knew exactly how to help us! We were so grateful. In addition, the grounds were clean and the pool and hot tub were super clean. The kids loved all the playgrounds and the splash pad. There is a great little catch and release pond that is in the process of getting rehabbed. We definitely recommend this campsite if you have little ones, like a quiet beautiful setting and want great customer service.

This place is exceptional. Staff was great. Park was clean and well maintained. Pool and jacuzzi, petting zoo (sweet goats except the horned one, its spicy). Little town area, climbing tubes and ice cream! We wish we could have stayed another night. Spaces had enough room to be comfortable and it was dog friendly too.
