I can't recommend it enough!

The facilities are dated, HOWEVER, you can tell they take great pride and include little thoughtful details like clips on the shower curtains for added privacy, bath mats for outside the stalls and water taps at each tent site. What makes this place a 10/10 is the LOVELY hosts Charlie and his wife Debbie. They were such great folks. His stories and smile will make you miss your grandpa. They are so sweet and accomidating and you can tell that they have put their hearts and soul into this little gem. If you're looking for new and fancy, this isn't your place. If you're looking for salt of the earth folks, hot showers, flush toilets and don't mind a few critters in the wash houses (open 24/7 by the way!) then I highly recommend this spot. Reasonably priced as well! Thanks for a great couple days, Charlie! We'll miss you. Mandy and Kyle

Just when things got a little "sleepy" he would show us what a jet boat can do , always warning us to "hold on tight!"before whipping us round in tight circles,that had everyone on board giggling but not wet ! We took the 4o'clk trip.Oregon Wildfires made a red sun and added an overcast surreal light & mist and smoke to the scenery. Maybe causing some animals to be shy,,,, but , We saw lots of bald eagles & kestrels! Blue herons and white great egrets and several types of ducks & cormorants! Also the wild cattle , feral descendants from survivors of the flood of '64.We got very close to the enormous sea lions swimming in the estuary (where the river meets the ocean)along side the boat at the beginning of the trip as well ! CaptChris even told us why Blue Creek is so blue !!! The young gal that greeted us was also very Upbeat both days. When we first stopped in,she "sold us" on taking the trip , let us know the tour needed at least 8 people for a boat to "go"so we , as a couple,had to hop on with a bigger reserved group to have a"confirmed departure "She also told us about the Yurok tribe-run "shuttle " servicing the area ,that would come get us , where we were camping,(at Kamp Klamath Campground )and advised us to reserve a "return pick-up" time as well ! Great information , she could not have been friendlier! The gift shop had exceptional quality souvenir shirts as well as light snacks & drinks! Sunglasses & sunscreen and hats

Nice open campground near the Redwoods, you can rent a camper as well as campsites. Renting a…read morecamper is a good option if you are passing through and aren't set up for camping, they aren't new but clean and comfortable with a bathroom, shower and kitchen. There are very limited options for any kind of lodging in the area, there's a small Casino with a hotel 10 minutes away and it's pricey. Closest grocery store is Crescent City to the north, so get supplies there. The campground has a store with some campground essentials but it's not a grocery store. Campground has coin laundry too, and the campground store has tide pods for .75 cents. Would recommend if in the area for hiking the Redwoods or fishing!

Again, it's country living and access to river. Showers, laundry, and restrooms are fine. We would definitely go back. (Only complaint was a few people living year around but they did not seem homeless maybe just down on luck but families). No drug use or unsafe. Kids can ride bikes and play for hours here.

Yesterday we drove by the meadow ~ 7:30pm and there were plenty of elk on meadow; however we didn't decide to stop because we knew we were coming back the following day. So seems like the best time to get up close and get amazing shots of the elks would be late afternoon to early evening between the hours of 4pm-8pm; as they are grazing the meadow for dinner.

When you are reluctant to leave a review because you don't want the secret out…read more... This is my idea of Shangri-La!!! The home is beautiful and equipped with exactly what you would need for your time near the water. Klamath access could not be better and for those that want to just get away and absorb nature, this is the spot! Eagles, Otters, Bears (from a distance), Sea Lions, butterflies, Osprey, Herons...the list is long! Wi-fi is fine if you must, but you can certainly unplug! One reviewer mentioned the RV park at the property next door, and they are there, but not in the way, not loud and perfectly lovely neighbors! If you need a fishing guide, let the property owners know, they are the best, and they know their waters (Northern California up thru Oregon). The property owners are responsive and available if you need them. Jimmy knows the history of the area and is an enchanting historian. I will be back...soon!

Full hook ups, a huge redwood, and a great shower/bathroom facility. Everything was clean and the hosts were amazing. Read on here that Burt was a local fishing guide and he took my son and I out for a full day of fun on very short notice. Burt is a legend in fishing circles and really knows his stuff. He also helped us to coordinate a kayak trip on the Klamath for the whole family. And he really went out of his way to pick me up in Orick when our vehicle was hit by another driver and return me safely back to the RV. If we are in the area again, we will definitely stay with Burt and his wife.

We went on a Jet Boat ride, went to Trees of Mystery & just relaxed!!! I can't wait to go back next year & do some fishing next time!

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.

The spaces between RVs are very limited and don't allow for very much room for tents. As for the…read moreprivacy of the site, there is none. Coin operated washers & dryers: not much to say about this, in all honesty. It's exactly as you'd think, $1.50 to use the washer, $1 to use the dryer. However, the dryer heat is VERY weak. We ended up needed to pay for two dryer cycles for our clothes to be properly dried, as the first cycle (on the Heavy Duty setting, mind you), did not dry our clothes and they were very much still damp. They do not offer any laundry detergent or softener or anything of the sort, you must bring your own. They say there's a hot tub somewhere, but we genuinely could not find it. The if you are expecting to work from here off of your phone or laptop, the free WiFi offered here will not allow that to happen. The showers / bathrooms: the entire campsite runs on an old septic system and old electricity. While showering, my sister and I got awful smells of the septic tank. The showers in the campsite are in desperate need of some TLC, as they are falling apart and have cracks in the flooring. The showers face outwards, so they are prone to splashing water all over the floor and causing a minor flood inside the bathroom. Another thing to note is the stall doors on both the showers and toilets are very very short. If you are taller than 5'6, you can easily see over them, or someone can peek in. The shower stall doors also do not lock at all. While staying in the campsite, we had MULTIPLE occasions of the bathroom door being left open / being purposefully stuck open with a door stopper. At first, I believed it to just be ignorantly left open by other campers. However, on our last day, my sister and I were showering when suddenly the bathroom door was opened and left open. When we called out to ask them to close the door, we were either ignored or went unheard. We saw one of the campsite workers speaking with the man outside of the woman's bathroom. They were not cleaning anything or anything of the sort, and had left the woman's bathroom door WIDE open while we were showering. If you are considering going on this trip alone, DON'T. One of our party members went to the bathroom at night by herself, and was FOLLOWED by someone. She kept looking behind her, and he kept looking away when she'd look at him. Once she returned to the campsite and got into her tent, he stopped and went, "Oops. Wrong campsite" and walked away. A lot of the people there gave off creepy or strange vibes. One night while our whole group was at the waterside fire pit, we were roasting marshmallows. Two other members were there, one introduced herself as a staff member, Jeanette. While we initially just gave general introductions (our names), and simply went on to make our marshmallows, Jeanette went out of her way to make us uncomfortable. Jeanette looked to the only black person (second youngest, and LOOKS young) in our party and started making really strange and uncomfortable comments: "You would have such beautiful babies." and "You wouldn't be the type to leave your babies" (Racist much??). She then proceeded to straight up harass everyone in our party by coming up with strange and random BABY NAMES for all the couples. All of the couples were young adults (18-20), and all of them look super young too!! She made a few other strange and uncomfortable comments that I am choosing not to add here, but it was extremely unprofessional and very uncomfortable for everyone involved. We ended up leaving the campfire early and turning in for an early night because of it. After we had all decided to turn in, Jeanette followed my mother back to our campsite (after my mother went back for her gloves) and attempted to make conversation. My mother was uninterested and ignored her, and she, thankfully, left. Overall, we will never be returning to this campsite. You would have better luck camping elsewhere.
