Great place to stay south of Avenue of the Giants. We stayed in a cute cabin. Food in the onsite restaurant was good. They have nice play facilities for kids. When we forgot something in the room after checking out, they called and were going to work out a way to get it to us.

If you’re looking for a fabulous Northern California redwoods camping experience, I can’t recommend Redwoods River Resort & Campground enough. This place truly has it all. The RV and campsite areas are beautiful, the bathrooms and showers are always clean, and the entire resort feels welcoming and family friendly. One of the absolute highlights is the Pub. The food is amazing. The jumbo pretzel with beer cheese is a must try, and the Lola Burger is hands down one of the best burgers. Great food, cold drinks, and an awesome atmosphere after a day exploring the redwoods. Whether you’re camping with family, friends, or just looking for a relaxing getaway by the river, this place delivers every time. Easy 10/10 experience and one of the best campground RV resorts in the area. Highly recommend! Ask for Billie, she's the best!

Unfortunately pretty location is the only thing it’s got, and friendly staff. Those are the reasons I am not giving it one star. We stayed for a couple of nights in the main cabin, not the campgrounds. The people above us were having a party until 10 pm with kids and guests from other parts of the campground, and the noise was unbearable. The kids were playing outside yelling and throwing shoes out the window, and the parents didn’t care, they even had an active flame unattended while cooking (and everything is made of wood). Different employees from the pub even came out twice to call them out and they did not care. There is no staff there overnight so thats a problem. Thankfully, the next morning the staff could accommodate us in another room for the next night. Although we were up at 6 am anyway because the people above us were walking around. The floors are super super creaky so every time the people above you wake up, you will be awake too. You can even hear their TV and their conversations. The beds are horrible, super super soft. The bathrooms are clean but the floors are dirty. You can see my socks in the picture; I had worn them for one hour before going to bed and they were black. Problem is that there are no competitive lodging options up there. It is very rural and there is no service or internet anywhere.

Redwoods River Resort gave us some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. While we were trying to book for a family visit to the redwood forest, they actually helped us find several other nearby campgrounds at cheaper rates, then followed up afterward to make sure we’d secured a spot. That kind of honest, above-and-beyond support is rare, and it’s exactly why I’ll recommend them to anyone planning a redwoods trip.

Our stay here was perfect. We rented the firehouse cabin for a couple of nights. We were 4 adults and 2 of us slept in the bunk beds without a problem. The cabin had all the amenities we needed and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for visiting the Avenue of the giants and the redwoods. Good value for the money.

We just rented a camper spot for the night there, doing a PNW road trip up the coast. Beautiful campground! Super friendly staff. Would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone

They have Plinny on tap. 10/10 Incredible spot. There are trees in my campsite that are massive. Eel River is so close. Short and steep hike to swim in crystal clear water. Waterholes and even a rope swing. Even if it's over 90 degrees. That river is worth it. This camp site isn't very secluded or private. But it's not a fault. We met lots of super dope people. My daughter made friends. It's loud at night. But beautiful. All these people coming together to enjoy the same thing. If you aren't into the resort thing there are so many places close by like Confusion Hill or drive up the Avenue of Giants to the Immortal Tree. It's all relatively close. I would come here again. The vibe was on point. Great family spot. EDIT: Made this review before I left. It was very busy on the weekend. We also stayed Monday night. Super quiet. Go on the weekend for active atmosphere and friendly people. Go during the week for a more secluded experience with friendly people. We loved it all. I also should mention how friendly the staff were.

We've stayed many times and attended events here. Great people and resort. The English Pub has a cozy family feel with delicious food and good selection of drinks. I love watching the continuous improvements and additions they've added. River access is convenient and clean. We sometimes drive up to have dinner and haven't been disappointed.

Stayed here with the family and it really felt like a resort. The store had everything we needed; we forgot a few staple items and the store had them! The pool was great since we couldn’t walk down to the river with our stroller for the baby. The playground was amazing and the kids loved playing there all day! Bathrooms were always clean and stocked. The bar and food were delicious and well worth the stay. Hope to stay at one of the cabins next time! We stayed at a campsite and enjoyed the peace and seclusion of our site (campsite 2). Bring bug spray or repellent, lots of mosquitoes at our site.

Recently attended a wedding here and it was a fantastic experience. We got the best camp site (site 1), and besides one very pushy raccoon it was amazing. The facilities are fantastic, so many activities to do, and an abundance of wonderful decks and patios. The wedding was beautiful, what a fantastic place to host. I wanted to give a shout out to the staff, especially the young man and woman that were working the pub in the evenings and helped serve at the wedding, they were so upbeat and friendly, and seemed to genuinely love being there. Everyone else was amazing as well, so friendly and inviting. I've been to campgrounds like this where the owners are overbearing and strict with the rules, they took a very hands off approach to guest management, but were there with a smile when you needed them. If you don't feel like hiking down to the river, there's a public access spot a mile or two south with an amazing swimming hole.

No laundry available, although website advertises. Room was spacious, with kitchen set up. No breakfast, found an outside place down the road. Pub was open for dinner. Nothing special. Lots of fire pits, which was nice. We came off season, so shuffle board, some games not available. I can see where it would be fun to camp in the summer. Get an upper floor if you book room in Motel. We could here people walking on our ceiling at night. Nice place, good value.

We had an awesome stay at Redwoods River Resort! The location couldn’t be better nestled right near the Avenue of the Giants with beautiful river access just steps away. We were stoked to find the pub open and spent a relaxing evening with cold beers and a few games of shuffleboard. Our room was super clean and cozy, with a convenient kitchenette that made cooking easy. We also learned about all the fun events and yearly competitions the resort hosts now we’re already planning a return trip so we can experience one of them firsthand!

Absolutely gorgeous campground. We stayed in lot 40 and it backed to a beautiful redwood Forrest with a few large redwood trees. One tree, you can actually walk through. The highlight of our stay was the amazing clear blue river just down the hiking trail. So peaceful. Nobody else was there but us. We also played almost every game they had. We took an immediate liking to bocce ball. I would 100% recommend and come back.

This place is awesome 👌 10/10 would recommend. It's perfect for families. My son loved it and was screen free all 4 days. The bathrooms have free hot showers, and they keep the bathroom warm 😊. The pub and arcata are super cute Harry potter themed 😍. There's tons of games, bocce ball,shuffel ball, ping pong, suffer board ,air hockey, pool table,basketball, a net! I could go on. They lady who owns it is the biggest sweat heart ❤️. We will definitely be returning.
