I absolutely love and adore every stay we spend here. It feels like home. Nearby stores and restaurants too, so it's just perfect in every way. Our last stay Cheyanne was a doll to us, and the boys too. Don't hesitate to stay here- there's not a bad camp site on the property.

Bathrooms were a slight uphill walk from the site with running water, so so on cleanliness. Potable water were by each site maybe two sites per faucet. 138 is furthest from the entrance about 0.7 miles from the camp site entrance. $10 for wood bundle which you buy by the campsite entrance. A lovely camping weekend. Pretty private because the redwood trees block the view between sites and we were lucky that the neighboring sites were empty most of the weekend.

The campsite is great, but I had a poor experience…read more My group had one too many vehicles for a single campsite. 4 motorcycles and 1 car. That's fine, we were happy to abide by their policy, so our only option was to purchase another campsite for the sole purpose of parking the extra vehicle(s). We had booked for 2 nights and when we paid for the 2nd site, we unfortunately didn't notice that they only charged for one night, which apparently their policy for non-reservation sites is only one night, which they didn't tell us nor did they warn us to check out from the 2nd site by noon. We ended up getting two $71.50 parking citations for failing to remove our vehicles from the campsite by checkout time (noon). When I spoke with the staff regarding the misunderstanding and how we obviously intended to pay for 2 nights at the 2nd site, the same duration as our initial reservation, one staff member in particular had a very poor attitude even though we were being very polite and just trying to work with them and their policies.

Kind of a smaller "beach" (mostly rocks) where it looked like you could drive on, provided you had adequate ground clearance. Afraid of getting stuck, we walked to a very calm section of Eel River.

Perfect for families, pets, etc. There is an $8 day use fee - which seems off considering the other free places you can pull off nearly anywhere, but for the facilities and for being off the road. It was worth it.

Bathrooms were very clean, well lit, and fully functional. Firewood and other necessities were delivered right to our site upon arrival - so awesome! The patch of old growth we camped in was long-ago cut large trees which had sprouted a dozen or so normal trees out of them. The woods were DARK due to dense canopies and staved off the rain when it fell, which we loved. Most importantly, this CG doesn't fill up six months ahead of arrival date so you can actually book them like a normal campground used to be (I'm glaring at YOU, California State Parks). Cons: Loud road noise due to proximity to 101 and surface roads. In fact, several of the sites abut the neighboring private property, allowing you to see through an old privacy fence directly into their back yard. Luckily our host let us swap spots when we realized this. Several tent campsites lacked picnic tables, which made me concerned if they'd have been full (they definitely weren't this May weekend). The fire rings were sufficient but also just old wheels. Showers in bathroom were in dire need of new fixtures (hard water made them look quite...eek...just glad I wasn't wearing my glasses while I showered). We recognized this area is a difficult one to have high expectations in due to remoteness and gave an extra star for the supremely kind and helpful woman who hosted us. We may not be back up here again, but if we are I hope to run into her.

This is my favorite campsite of all time. You're about 15 minutes off the main freeway so it's very…read morequiet and peaceful. That being said, there's very limited cell service, if any, which can be a pro and a con. There are many trails that lead to views or the nearby creeks, although most are not dog friendly so keep that in mind if you're bringing your furry friend. They have large campsite bonfires where campers are invited to learn about different facts about the environment and animals in the area, which is fun for children. There are clean bathrooms and showers which are available on both sides of the campground. Showers are operated by quarters so bring a a couple rolls. Each campsite has a decent amount of space and has its own table, fire pit, and bear proof locker. I've seen bears in the area but they are very peaceful and keep to themselves and just want to eat the apple trees. My favorite time to go is end of July and August because the blackberry bushes are fruiting, and you can make fresh blackberry pancake pancakes in the morning (although they have cut a lot of of the blackberry bushes down since they are invasive, so you have to walk a little farther to find them). Overall it's a very peaceful and beautiful campground that I find my self return returning to every year.

My wife, her mom, and I came here as our second stop (09:05) on day five of our Northern California road trip. There is a big parking lot with plenty of spots to shop and admire. The gift shop is named Burl N' Drift Redwood and had a lot of souvenirs made out of recovered redwood. We ended up buying a few things. At the west end of the parking lot, there is a thousand year old-growth redwood. It has survived a lightning strike, a loggers axe, and a forest fire, symbolizing the resiliency of the mighty redwoods. It's worth stopping by to take a picture or two.

We arrived on the Friday before the start of Memorial Day Weekend, as there are no reservations, at least at this time of the year. The camp already had half a dozen campsites, filled, along the river, but we found a nice one. The restroom wasn't far and it had sinks and flush toilets. There were a couple of outside, cold-water showers, probably useful for rinsing off sand from the beach. The other restroom had indoor, coin-op, showers, which were "out of order". Our campsite had a picnic table, a fire-ring, and a water-faucet. It was a nice, shady, location. The other campers were mostly families and they all seemed friendly.

Petrolia is Humboldt's hidden gem, and you will not regret checking it out, the drive through the hills and along the coast, is phenomenal! A.W.
