Campsite Suggestions for Crescent City?

[ddstech]

We are heading up to the redwoods this week. McKinleyville for 2 nights and then Crescent City. Does anyone have good suggestions for a campground up there? We prefer hook-ups but it isn't necessary. We are taking are 3 little girls to see the "big trees."

Matt', you've started 3 threads with just about the same question. It would be easier to follow one thread for everyone—splitting the answers will keep the threads further down the list and fewer people will see it. I suggest you request closing 2 of the 3.

I can't answer your question because last time we were there, we kept driving, having already seen the redwoods years before. Sometimes hookups aren't available where you want to be and you have to accept that, or leave the trailer somewhere else and take the tow vehicle.

Sometimes it takes a few minutes for a new thread to show up. I've done the same thing, thinking the thread "didn't take"

A great place I stayed at about fifteen years ago in that area, was the Little River Inn. Not for RVing but a wonderful inn, right on the ocean bluffs.

No, my wife doesn't understand how the forums work and used my account. This is why it's in three locations. She was probably trying to up her chances for a reply.

We spend a week every Labor Day at Anchor RV at the south end of town. Bayside RV is next door just to the north. They are both on the west side of the highway near the marina. Neither is fancy and both have some permanent residents, probably to keep the doors open during the slow times.

The spots are fairly small at Anchor. We try to get a spot along the street on the west side.

Within walking distance is the Chart Room. Good food, some of the best fish and chips on the coast.

As for the Redwoods question in another thread, we stay at Dean Creek Campground near Redway, and get a burger at Deb's All American Hamburgers in Redway. She will grill your onions and make you a Milk Shake with real ice Cream.
