Ramblin' Redwoods is a five star RV and camping spot. We have been visiting there for seven years. The campsites are beautiful and spacious with many tucked away among amazing Redwood trees. We sold our RV and this time we stayed in a cabin. It was terrific! It had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, glasses, flatware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, microwave, stove, full sized refrigerator, coffee pot, and more. The bathroom was great, and towels and all linens for the beds were provided. And I can't forget the TVs and fireplace. The loft was so cool! Outside there was a grill, fire pit, and porch surrounded by Redwoods. We were in heaven. The managers were awesome, friendly, and so helpful. We totally appreciated them. We would give Ramblin' Redwoods 10 stars if we could!

Great campground for RVs and people with tents, multiple sites with various accommodations! The staff were very friendly and helpful even before our stay. The sites were very spacious, well maintained, and were cleaned throughout our weekend stay, even this busy 4th of July weekend! The bonus that we didn’t know prior to arriving was the shower facilities, which is FREE and very well maintained. The campground has a little playground area, a small hiking trail which was unfortunately snd unexpectedly closed off, and the site is relatively close to Crescent City and the Oregon border if you need to shop around or take a scenic drive! Their general store has a few basic amenities and fire wood was in abundance for sale. I believe laundry facilities were also available, but we weren’t there that long so I could not confirm it had the chance to use it. Overflow parking is available for a fee if you have extra guests visiting or extra vehicles in tow with your rig. Porta potties were also available in certain areas around the campground, but there were areas of the site that had none available. A portion of the campground’s perimeter hugs the US-101 highway, so just be aware that you’ll have traffic noise consistently all day if you choose one of those sites. Overall our stay here was not only fun, but also very memorable! I’d recommend this place anytime and we look forward to our next stay next year!

We stayed in the Douglas cabin. It was perfect for us. Kids were super comfortable in the loft. The cabin itself was immaculate, with eveything we needed. We loved the campground itself, the cabins faced a substantial second growth forest. Brad and Kriss who were the camphosts were friendly, informative and welcoming. It was nice to get to know them a little while we visited. Hope to visit again.

This park was a nestled within the Redwoods, and that alone is worth 5 Stars! We got in late due to some issues on the road, and we were lucky enough that the camp host was still there! He guided us to our site (which was much appreciated in the dark), and gave us some suggestions on where to go during our visit! The sites were nice and clean, the scenery was amazing, and the staff went above and beyond.

This was a magical place to camp. Our site was quiet and nestled right up against a huge Redwood stump. The showers were wonderful with great water pressure and temperature. Bathrooms were clean. The best of all was being in such a beautiful grove of Redwood trees. It felt like others were camped far enough away to have relative privacy. Special memories made there!
