Years ago, long before Mrs. Picante del Monte and I tied the knot, we took the long drive north to…read moreJedediah Smith Redwoods outside of Crescent City, CA to camp and hike and cook over fire and do boyfriend & girlfriend kinda stuff. An outdoorsy gal to match my own granola-ish tendencies, she chatted up a couple of locals at the gas station about nice beaches in the area. An old gnarly hippie, who most likely spoke Boontling as his native tongue, told us about Enderts Beach on the south side of town, and off we went to seek our own insular Tahiti in the cool, perpetual overcast of extreme NorCal. We pulled off Hwy 101 and started down the long stretch of two lane highway, flanked by blackberry briars and wildflowers, to a nondescript turnout and a deer path heading out toward the dunes. Soon, we were walking through long-standing spider webs, as garter snakes skirted across our path, appearing and disappearing just as quickly in the thick green blanket of grass and blackberry vines. Along the way, we picked handfuls of the wild berries and popped them in our mouths, savoring the sweetness of the fruit, and the equally satisfying beauty and solitude of this place. Just a few yards from the trail, a black bear busied herself with her own berry gorging, seemingly oblivious to our passing. Truly, this was one of the most wild and untouched places we had ever been, and so close to the highway. The beach itself is wide and clean, heavily influenced by the tide and the relentless surf that pounds this part of the California coast into submission. Sand crabs, sand dollars, shorebirds, and--at high tide with the right bait-- red tailed surf perch are plentiful. An osprey hunting fish outside the surfline was a welcome sight, as was the occasional bear that would lumber along where the blackberries met the sand. Lots of driftwood, agates on the rock piles, and sea glass polished by the surf made beach combing productive. SoCal beaches can't even begin to compare to this level of natural beauty, even off the beaten path spots like Padaro, Blacks, and El Capitan. If you ever have the chance to enjoy a beach like Enderts or many other spots from Southern Oregon down along the Lost Coast of California, please take a moment to see nature as the Great Programmer intended it. It truly is a Thin Place-- a location where the distance between heaven and earth are significantly closer than average.

We've been here 7.5 weeks now, and are going to be here another 8. My family and I came out here…read morefor a job contract, first time living in a trailer, had no idea what to expect from our new adventure and home. This park has been such an incredible time for us! We have a spot near the little playground, which has kids playing at it pretty much everyday (my toddler's favorite spot to meet new friends). All the families we've met here have been super friendly, with many coming back year after year. The manager has been so sweet too, making sure things are working out for us and we're enjoying our stay here; she even took us on a nearby hike to look at all the beautiful redwoods! When we got here, the back meadow was overgrown, the river view was fairly blocked by bushes, and the laundry room only had one washer. But in our 2 months we've been here, the staff have been working at tidying things up and have made pretty good progress with it. At this point, they're back to a full 2 washer/2 dryer laundry room, you can see the river pretty well, and the back meadow has been mowed down and become our favorite spot to bring our kiddo with her bike! The only downside is the bathrooms, but that's just because I never went camping as a kid and as soon as I saw a spider in there I convinced myself it was going to come crawl all over me. In reality, it's just an older bathroom in a campground. Plenty of showers and toilet stalls, and most importantly infinite hot water (I'm still adjusting to the 7 minutes of hot water in the trailer). Other than that, they have a little convenience store which is perfect when you don't want to make a trip into town for groceries. We have our own internet, but the few times it's gone out we've been able to use the park's as a backup without issue. No cell service, but that seems to be the case all throughout the redwood forest.

Tent camping at Chinook RV resort. Site #10 costs more than the other tent sites (maybe because…read moreit's not right in top of other tents like the others), but it's in the middle of the common area field and next to dog park with no screen whatsoever. Not worth the extra $$$ for it. This could be made so much better by adding some trees as a break around the dog park and to give this site some shade. There was nowhere to seek shade at this site whatsoever so if you wanted to just chill in the afternoon you had to bake in the sun. Also map leads you to believe you can see the river and you cannot from this site. The common deck overlooking the river with a fire pit in the middle is really nice. Also could use some shade to be used during mid-day hours. Saw some seals frolicking in the water while sitting there and that was really cool! Also tons of birds registered on my bird ID app (including osprey and night heron) so they are happy in the area. Bathrooms are dirty and aged. As mentioned by other reviewers the stall doors are very short and offer little privacy. Signs request drying off in the stall to prevent standing water but it's hard to prevent the water getting out. It's not far off the main 101 at all so you do hear road noise until it slows later in the evening. It's a reasonable distance from Crescent City and right in the middle of national park visitor centers. Short drive to beach areas. While I was there people were friendly but not intrusive, things were fine. Things could be improved but it wasn't a bad spot for the location/price.

(Relatively speaking). It's easy to drive by this place but if you see a sign that says Smith River Kayaks, do yourself a favor and stop there, especially if you're looking for a good time. You'll be greeted by one of the coolest kinds of people you'll ever meet, the guy that runs the joint. He very informative, funny, and is great at asking questions to figure exactly where your skill level is. We did about a 5 and a half hour kayak down the smith river through some smooth waters, And some not so smooth 101 rapids. We enjoyed every last bit of it, the view was beautiful most of the ride down and it felt like a massive adventure. Towards the end of the trip we even got to see some otters and some river seals! Prices were very good compared to some of the other places we looked at and honestly feel like we wouldn't have gotten the same experience elsewhere and mainly because all other places are missing one key ingredient. The man that runs this show, he's a one of a kind character you only meet one in a life time. He was a blast to be around and a blast to listen to. He made the whole experience seamless and incredibly rewarding. We will definitely be returning next time we return to Crescent City!

( after biking he added his sweet dog, Annie, to the group for the rafting section!) along our biking he told us some fun facts about the Redwood Trees and some exotic plants! Our biking section of the day was GREAT! It is actually a perfect ride you start on pavement and then you end up on a gravel road with some uphills and some downhill but nothing super steep allowing you to take in the scenery. Can the forest be any more beautiful!! The trees are enormous!! Some have been burned, some struck by lighting, some both!! But they are still standing! After biking we drove to the Smith river where they laid out a great lunch! After lunch we geared up for river rafting down the Smith River, the only un-dammed river in California! It is spectacularly clear! Since we were here in June, the river was not super deep, but we did have some fun rapids and some really nice open spaces that were very mellow, allowing you to take in the scenery! For those more daring there is a stop where you can jump off rocks into the water. The rafting portion lasted about 2 to 3 hours. Our entire day started at 9:30 and we were done around 4 PM. I thought it was a fantastic way to spend the day! I highly recommend them.
