It was really quiet at night as well.

People do not pick up after their dogs. Dog shit all over…read more There was a couple of identical medium dogs, one in the small dog area and one in the big dog area. They were running after each other on both sides of the fence. Great, but the one in the big dog area still had his leash on and not sure why. The mom or woman told the kids that was there that there was someone (me) coming in to the big dog area. He looked up then went back to looking down at his phone. When I left he went to get the dog and took him over to the smaller dog area but the dog kept running from him for several minutes. Dog parks are not to let your dog run wild without watching them and especially not cool when they do their business and you don't pick up after them. No trees but the did have benches to sit on.

If you're traveling with a furry friend, they…read moredo allow dogs on everything except for the Redwood Canopy Trail, which contains a lot of suspension bridges. Admission is a bit steep, at $30 for adults and $25 for seniors. No extra fees for dogs. The trails contained plenty of dog poop bags, trash cans, and restrooms. It is quite well maintained. The trees are massive and nice to look at the vast variety. The Redwood Canopy Trail was cool to explore and is pretty short. There is also a gondola that takes you to an observation deck, though you may not be able to see anything if it is foggy. There are a couple of audio tapes that explain stories behind some of the figures that were there. Last but not least, the gift shop at the very end had lots of unique goodies to commemorate your time here.

The parking lot is large, with space for plenty of cars and tour buses. There are multiple buildings on the property, with a very large gift shop (ended up buying some souvenirs here, including salt and pepper shakers made from redwood), a shop that sells homemade fudge, and a private shop that sells more high end artistic crafts and artifacts. The restrooms are in a separate building to the side. Today wasn't the right time to take the gondola ride (1,500 foot high over the forest floor) and trail hike ($30 per adult), so will need to try it some other time when we have more time and ability to hike.

There are some trees for shade and two picnic tables (the city website says food is not allowed). They also provide water for the dogs, but I couldn't figure out how to turn on the spigot to fill the bowl. Maybe that's just user error! You can't see the Rogue River from the park, but you can hear it. There is a paved path nearby that will take you the 100 yards to overlook the rushing water.

Absolutely Loved Our Stay at Chinook RV Park!…read more If you're traveling through Klamath, California, Chinook RV Park is a must-stay! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how welcoming and helpful the hosts were. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel at home and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. One of our favorite things was the easy access to the water. Being able to get out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings without a hassle made the experience even better. It's the perfect place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The park itself has great amenities, is well maintained, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. But what really sets Chinook apart is the people. The hosts were absolutely amazing--friendly, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure their guests have a great experience. We've stayed at plenty of RV parks, and Chinook is definitely one we'll remember. Beautiful location, easy water access, great amenities, and incredible hosts--it's hard to ask for more! Highly recommend Chinook RV Park! We'll absolutely be back!

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.

This beautiful beach in Brookings can be found by using a beach access trail from the water…read moretreatment facility parking area (indicated by a public access sign as you turn into the parking area). I wouldn't call this a hike as it can't be longer than a mile to get down to the beach, and most of it is paved. It is only accessible up until a certain point, then turns into gravel, eventually sea-smoothed stones, bits of logs, and sand. Our party of six adults and two children were looking for a beach to explore along the Brookings coast, and this ended up being a great choice. There are some extremely cool points of interest along the way, like panoramic views of the point and surrounding coastline, and a lookout trail that splits off and carries one up a steep cliff. None of the people in our beach going party opted for this, but it did look like a fun photo op. I wasn't sure if my dang back would allow for me to get up there. Maybe if I ever return. It was instead onward to the beach to set up chairs, let the kids make sand castles, and wander about looking for shells and tide pools, of which there were many! Hmm I'm just now remembering I left the teeny sand dollar I found at the airbnb. Aww. Our day was bright and sunny, which a friend local to the area told me is rare. Personally I was looking forward to an overcast chilly Oregon coast day, but I can't complain about sun and a gentle, cool breeze compared to the over 100 degree weather my friends and I left behind in California to come up here a couple weeks ago in September 2022. The water was not too cold to swim in, or at least wade in, which is what I opted to do. Salt water healing, yes please. This is a great beach for watching wildlife and observing native plants. One of the kids found the chonkiest bull kelp I have ever seen in my life, which needed three other people (okay maybe not needed but it made a cute picture) to help carry it across the beach. I would definitely come here again and try that steeper lookout point, should my mobility improve. Otherwise there is always the sweet beach access trail. Plenty of parking can be found, and though we saw bathrooms on our way down to the beach when my friend tried their door handles they turned out to be locked.
