Hello fellow wanderers!!
How many of you are RV'ers? We love to RV around for weeks and months at a time looking for those epic trails. We recently spent a week at the KOA in Crescent City while we explored and hiked the Redwoods in Northern California.
We were in a pull through site with full hook ups. Our site was C7 and we faced the playfield. We paid $55 a night in July 2021 and then we received our 10% discount for being KOA members. Being a KOA member has its advantages. Not only does it pay for itself typically in one or two stays, but you also rack up KOA points. We are currently VIP members since we typically stay at KOAs during our travels. Check out their website for more information.
We typically do not have high expectations when staying in crowded parks and this year has been different in the aspect that so many new people have entered the RV and camping recreation world. It is too bad they don't teach camping etiquette when making reservations.
We only have two complaints about staying here. If you look at the map, we are on the edge of the park in C7 facing the playfield. With that said, there are no walking paths for people to get from the other areas in the KOA to the playfield. Therefore, everyone walked through our site, constantly (adults and kids). Even after being politely asked to stop, they still walked through. The second issue we had is being remote workers (which is a new thing for these campgrounds to work around) is that we were also across the drive from their shop and maintenance building. This meant that we heard the tractors come and go all day long and they even drove through the site next to us when it was vacant. The tractors were loud.
On a positive note, the grounds at this KOA are absolutely beautiful! The tent areas were amazing and the grounds overall were well kept (hence the tractors being busy). The laundry machines were older but worked fine. Nice play room if you have kids. Staff were friendly and great. WiFi was great with our booster.
And the location! You are an hour from some of the best hiking in the Redwoods! Fern Canyon (see previous blog), Jedediah Smith State Park, the beaches and of course Crescent City itself!
We would stay here again if in the area (in a spot away from the shop and playfield). Oh... and don't forget to feed the goats!
