Awesome spot for campers, RVs, and tent travelers alike!…read more The Laughing Alpaca Campground is such a great find. It's super close to the Oregon Caves and offers everything you could want in a place to stay. Full hookups, clean showers, WiFi that works, laundry on-site, and even easy river access for a refreshing swim. The whole place has a funky, laid-back vibe but is also really well kept. Everything was clean and clearly taken care of, which made our stay feel extra comfortable. Whether you're road tripping in your RV, towing a trailer, or just pitching a tent, this spot is highly recommended. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

A Hidden Gem in Southern Oregon!…read more Laughing Alpaca Campground & RV Park is hands down one of the best places we've stayed on our travels! Tucked away in beautiful Cave Junction, the location is peaceful, scenic, and perfectly situated for exploring the area, including the Oregon Caves and Redwood forests. The campground itself is spotless--every site is well-kept, and the bathrooms and showers are some of the cleanest we've encountered. They have a laundry house with great washers and dryers. The office can sell you quarters. You can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the place, and it really shows. Easy access to the river. One of best things here is the alpacas on site. They are super friendly and cute. They also have a fenced in dog park which is great for dogs being off leash. What really sets this place apart are the incredible hosts, Renee and Jeff. They were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt right at home. Their hospitality truly made our stay special and memorable. The value here is outstanding for the quality of the experience. Whether you're in an RV, tent, or just passing through, this place is a must. We can't wait to come back!

In 2017 when I got a camping space and THEN they told me there were no restrooms for the campers, as I recall from 8 years ago it was because things were out of order and being worked on. I was shocked and asked them, as a camper, where am I supposed to go? They had no answer. So I left. And I filled a formal complaint with the county health inspectors about luring me into getting a camping space only to then tell me there were no restrooms. He was as shocked as I was. OK, so this was 8 years ago and I'm sure their toilets have been fixed by now. But, no, i'm not confused and I did not have the wrong place. So that event gets to stay with you on Yelp hopefully forever, because it was a nightmare for me, I was ill and very tired and really needed a place to stay and it was a long drive back to find another place.

Passing through Cave Junction, decided to stop for the night. Didn't want to stay at the local…read moremotel, as I've read horror stories online of the local motel, so I decided to check out this place. Very satisfied with my stay. Easy check in. They have large and small cabins with kitchens, a RV park/campground, and a small motel. I stayed in the motel. Only $65 for the night which was very reasonable. The motel is probably from the 50s, and the decor is older, but very nice. Bed was comfortable, room and bathroom were spotless. There are no phones at the resort, and my cell service didn't work. I have T-Mobile, but I don't know if Verizon or AT&T would work either, as the resort is a ways from town. However, the resort does have Wi Fi. It doesn't work in the rooms, but it works with speed fast enough to stream video in a common area in the middle of the resort. They also have DirecTV in the rooms. The resort had a snack bar, but it wasn't open when I was there, because there were only a few people staying there. He said that they need at least 10 people staying to open it up. I can understand that. They also have a laundry. Overall, a comfortable stay and a nice simple place. It's close to the attractions, being on the Caves Highway, only 15 minutes from Cave Junction, (Definitely check out the Great Cats World Park), and Oregon Caves is only a half hour further up the road. I'd stay here again.

It made a great home base for exploring the area. We stayed in Site 66. While the site itself was nice, it was a little closer to Highway 101 than I would have preferred. Next time, I would choose a site farther back in the campground for a quieter experience. The campground amenities were clean and well-maintained. They offer showers, restrooms, tv hookups, and a small on-site store stocked with basic necessities. They also sell firewood, which was very convenient. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely consider returning, especially if we could snag a site a bit deeper in the park.

And, if you're lucky enough to get a space at Ocean Views RV Park, you're definitely lucky. Across the street is the ocean. Ocean Views is a small, clean, quiet, and relaxing RV park in Smith River, California. Only 4 miles from the Oregon border. Across the street is the Pacific Ocean and her miles of amazing, beautiful, rugged beaches (see pics). A wonderful retreat from the craziness of life. Solid consistent Wi-Fi. We like to turn on a YouTube fireplace in the mornings & evenings. The NEW owners at Ocean Views are great!!! My wife and I are healthy adventurers and have spent the last few years traveling around in our motorhome and enjoying our beautiful country. We've been to over 40 states, and this is perhaps our very favorite destination!!! Plus, it's the first summer ever that we didn't need to turn on our air conditioner. Total comfort. Some affectionately refer to the area as the banana belt because of the consistent moderate year-round temperatures. Also, there is usually a nice, gentle breeze. AMAZING BEACHES: You can walk or drive to the Beaches. Fly kites. Wind surf. Collect shells, sand dollars, pretty rocks, build driftwood beach houses, or driftwood art. We actually walked to Oregon and back via the beach (4 hr round trip -- mucho fun - and we've done it twice so far). Or you can just do nothing. That's also fun. Sitting and watching the ocean is like watching the Earth breathe. But once you start exploring, you discover Sea Otters, lots of Seals, and Sea Lions. In the evening until sunset, you can watch the seals and pelicans dive near the shore for their fish dinners. Sunsets are often breathtaking. Lucky 7 Casino is about 2 blocks away. It's a nice, small tribal casino/ hotel with a good restaurant and bar. Lucky 7 gas station / convenience store always has the best fuel and propane prices. Brookings, Oregon is only about 8 miles North. Crescent City, California is only 18 miles South. The drive to either is always enjoyable. But watch out for deer & Elk. Brookings: Cool Marina area to explore. Fred Meyer is a great supermarket. Good prices and fun place to shop. Pretty town. Small movie theater (been there). Lots of shops and so many excellent restaurants. Le Flour de Mexico had delicious crab enchiladas & excellent margaritas. DQ (Dairy Queen) for a dip cone (yum). Wild River Pizza. Mattie's Pancake House (awesome online menu). And many more awesome eateries we still look forward to enjoying!!! Nice self-service car wash across from the DQ. We drive to Brookings to wash our Jeep and RV. It's funny to tell friends and family, "Yeah, we had to drive to Oregon to wash our Jeep." ha ha. Crescent City: Safeway with good cinnamon rolls, Walmart, Home Depot. Lots of stores, shops, excellent restaurants. Many fun places to eat. And also, a nice movie theater (been there). In addition to the usual theater snacks like popcorn, we discovered they also make fresh cotton candy & have pool tables. We enjoyed walking around the Marina and seeing the huge commercial fishing boats. Great fish and chips, and shrimp and chips at the Chart Room on the waterfront at the Marina. Nice beaches. And a working Lighthouse. Other stuff to do: Redwood forest. Kayak down Smith River, and so much more!!! All of the above creates a GOOD kind of to-do list. Just a few of the many reasons why we fell in love with the area and our base camp at Ocean Views RV Park. At the time of this writing, we started our third month!!! Lovin it & having a hard time leaving. Hope you love it also. Everything is so close and fun to explore.

I went hiking here last weekend, and it honestly took my breath away…read more As a SoCal girl now living in NorCal, I've made it my mission to explore as much as I can around this beautiful state, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods completely stole my heart. These trees are absolutely massive, walking among them feels like stepping into another world. The light, the air, the silence... everything feels calm, ancient, and sacred. The trails are super well maintained, the weather was perfect, and there was plenty of parking even though it was busy. The roads and trails are a bit narrow, but honestly, that just adds to the charm. The river that runs through the park is crystal-clear and peaceful a perfect little spot to stop and take it all in. Standing next to those giant redwoods makes you realize how tiny you are in the best possible way. It's humbling and magical at the same time If you're driving from Eureka toward Crescent City, the entire drive is breathtaking, every curve along the coast looks like a postcard. You'll even pass through Elk Valley, and oh my god, there are actual elks just hanging out by the side of the road! They're so beautiful and so used to seeing people; it felt like nature welcoming you in. If you love hiking, nature, or just want to feel grounded and amazed, this place is a must. California, you really outdid yourself with this one.
