Stayed in one of the 1-room cabins w/bathroom by myself for a couple nights and everything was crisp and on-point. The cabin has adjustable radiant heating which is perfect since it was in the 50s/60s outside all day. The toilet has a powerful flush and the shower gets nice and hot with stone tiling. There's even a fan in the bathroom so it exceeded my expectations. The main room is cozy with windows and a kitchenette. It's nice that there's on-site sorted recycling and a supply shop at the main office. Location is amazing for all kinds of nearby hikes and beaches. There's a local organic grocery store with all you could need as well as a restaurant and souvenir shops.

Outstanding experience!! The staff was incredibly kind. Premises extremely clean. There are redwoods all around — it feels like you’re camping in the heart of the park! Our tent site, #46, was amazing. Off to the side so it felt very private and spacious. The only slight downside was it was a bit near the highway so we heard cars driving through the night, but not a huge deal. The bathrooms are also sooo nice. Electricity and SO clean! $1.00 in quarters for 10min HOT shower. I’ve never felt more clean during a tent camping trip which was a nice surprise :) definitely stay here!!

Enjoyed 6 days/5 nights in a very nice 1 BR cabin with a front porch and back deck. The park is thoroughly embedded within groves of big redwoods. It lives up to its name, Enchanted Forest. We hope to come back as it was pleasant to walk around the campgrounds, fix meals in the very adequate kitchen and choose to eat either at the dining table or on the back deck overlooking a small creek snaking through the Redwoods and fringed with huge amounts of ferns. And the bed was good, too!

We stayed in Cabin B and were absolutely charmed! The cabin is cozy and well-equipped, featuring a clawfoot tub with a shower, a small kitchenette (two-burner stovetop, two pans, four sets of plates, cups, mugs, and utensils), and a mini fridge with a freezer. The gas fireplace, connected to a thermostat, kept us warm and comfortable throughout our stay. The cabin is nestled between redwood trees that completely surround the property. It's clean, quiet, and everyone staying is neighborly. I will be back for our next family vacation! ||The cabin also boasts two porches—one in front and one in back—each with chairs perfect for sipping coffee and soaking in the serene surroundings.||Check-in was smooth and welcoming. The front office staff were kind, knowledgeable, and full of great local recommendations.||We explored the area, starting with a drive to Lady Bird Trail (about 25 minutes away). The road there is a bit steep in a regular car, but absolutely worth it. The trail itself is a gentle 1.3-mile walk on a well-maintained path, and there's a beautiful bridge over the road that’s worth a photo.||Later, we visited Wedding Rock at Patrick’s Point (just 8 minutes from the cabin) and caught a breathtaking sunset. Highly recommend making time for this!||One culinary highlight: Larrupin’ Café, just a mile up the road. Make a reservation—it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.||Our mornings on the porch, sipping coffee in the mist, were peaceful and rejuvenating. The cabins are just minutes from the charming town of Trinidad, where we had lunch on the pier, filled up on gas, and enjoyed the ocean views.||We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway.

This was a great place for the whole family. Plenty of room for the kids to play. The kitchen in our cabin was perfect for preparing meals. Very close to areas of the national park. Trinidad is a cute town. Food shopping in Murphys market is great.

My family spent four days and three nights at the Emerald Forest in Trinidad. The electrical and water hook ups were satisfactory. However, our stay there was less than satisfactory. What was most upsetting was how loud our campsite was. There was lots of noise pollution from the 101 highway. They told us that it would be a little loud, but we were woken up multiple times throughout the night by big trucks. However, what was most upsetting was that The staff would not return money that was used for showering to the amount of $1.50 because the showers would not automatically turn on. Each shower is $.50 for five minutes. we alerted the staff that our quarters did not produce water on multiple showers and we were not reimbursed the money. They stated that they would turn it into maintenance. This to me is unsatisfactory because if your money is taken without you receiving a good in return, that is theft. The campsite is clean and well kept however, I would not recommend it if you are looking to have a peaceful and tranquil night sleep after a clean shower.

We had a great experience here. River, the lady at the front desk, was absolutely precious and helpful!! Wifi was wonderful with no issues. Sites are nice and spacious. If you're staying in a tent, you're in for a treat. We stayed in an RV, but we walked the grounds and found where tent campers camp and it is gorgeous! Very woodsy and reminds me of a jungle. Super cool! Thanks for a great stay!!

We loved the emerald forest cabins!! It was the perfect location for exploring the redwoods. The cabin was comfortable and clean and had all that we needed in the little kitchen. The beds were nice enough and we loved the little grocery store in town and the beautiful beach a few minutes away!

What an amazing site it is definitely a hidden gem. We made our first trip with our motorhome and it was an amazing staying. It was so peaceful and quiet. We stay in pull thru camp site #20. Staff was super helpful I called around 7 and kept getting disconnected due to service but Victoria was super helpful we got to campsite pretty late but it was not a problem. So glad they were open to help us other site closed at 5 and here they are open till 9. I am glad the other places were closed cause this place was perfect. I would definitely recommend this spot.

Used to be a nice place to stay. Now it costs you 50 cents for 5 min of shower and a minute of that is finding hot water. Used to have a laundry room, but no longer. You have to drive 20 minutes to McKinleyville to find a laundromat. Used to have cable TV, no longer. Now their internet service is with a company that you have to call to set up your smart tv. Used to be able to plug in your tv cable and get tv channels and wifi has so easy to log into. Now you have to call the company to hook you up. Or bring your Firestick or Roku with you. Very disappointed. Increased fees should be reduced for reduced amenities. Won't be back.

This place is beautiful. My husband and I drove from SF to this beautiful place and it was very well maintained. Limited tent camping spaces and bathrooms are very clean!

I am upset I have to make this review, and never actually believed I would have to. I have been camping here since 2009 and has always held a special place in my heart. It has seen a couple different owners throughout the years with some upgrades and some downgrades. The sewage has been an ongoing issue the whole time and they have never seemed to figure it out. If you plan to book a specific site, be ready to pay more. (I think an extra $10 per night?) The worst part, you aren't even guaranteed the spot you want. We have shown up multiple times to the unfortunate news that our site has been moved for miscellaneous reasons. (Mainly sewage) This is a huge bummer when coordinating trips with groups that would love to camp side by side. Over the years we have encountered some very rude staff, I have been made to feel like I am doing something wrong or that I am a burden to them while checking in or asking questions. I can say, this year the employees were nicer but we still had issues with majority of our group getting their campsites relocated during check in. The showers used to be included in the price of your stay, and now they are quarter operated without any changes to the cost of your site. The showers are clean and have hot water. They also used to have coin operated laundry machines and those are gone now too. I showed up with a toddler hoping I could do a load if I needed to just to find out they aren't accessible anymore. You cannot put a tent in a trailer site anymore. Large dumpsters are placed right next to a nice green patch of grass so you get to smell them while you play with your kids and dogs (as long as the sewage isn't leaking into it) I would suggest this campground to someone who is an inexperienced camper because it does provide the amenities of the flush toilets, showers, a small store, a park, trash cans, and a place to do your dishes, but at this point, it's our very last resort.

For the last couple of years, the Pandemic seemed to scare people in our lives from getting together for Thanksgiving... so instead of staying home, we decided to redo our "Thanksgiving in the Redwoods" that we enjoyed last year. With just a few weeks to spare, the delightful and compassionate souls at California State Parks decided to cancel our months old reservations at Patrick's Point State Park. In short, we were devastated, especially after having our El Capitan reservations cancelled by wildfire. Twice. Ever the optimist, Mrs. Picante jumped online to try to find a suitable replacement camping spot. She happened upon Emerald Forest, a privately owned camp spot just a few miles south of Patrick's Point, and still well within Trinidad proper. More importantly, still within day trip distance of redwoods, NorCal coast, and all the natural wonders for which we tow a trailer 700 miles north of our native SoCal. First of all, and maybe most importantly, the staff of this place is extremely nice. We had to make a couple of last-minute changes to our arrival and departure dates, and they were very accommodating. Secondly, the site has full hook ups, including electricity, water, cable TV, and sewer. Considering you have a better chance of finding a three legged ballerina then hook ups in a California state park, this was a bonus. Definitely added to our trip. Emerald Forest itself is privately on land hosting a stand of second growth redwoods, although there are some rather large trees. Nothing like the ancient old growth redwoods of yesteryore, but still very beautiful. Facility has indoor fully plumbed bathrooms and showers, gazebo, laundry facilities, And a front office that doubles as a convenience store of sorts. Just the essentials, but still pretty nice. The site also hosts cabins, ranging from two person deals to family size. Evidently, staying at a cabin includes hotel style linen service, cleaning, and the like. As for us, we enjoyed camping here in our 25 foot trailer. The camping sites were a little tight, and fairly close together, separated by a short fence and the hook up facilities, but no one seems to mind. One downfall if I had to be nitpicky is that our campsite was also right next to the Patrick's Point Dr. roadway, so there was definitely a little bit of automotive noise at certain times of the day, and a few people in the area really drive too fast. Then again, we've camped in lots of places with a lot more road and traffic noise. So it wasn't that big of a deal. Notably, there were no bear boxes or animal proof trash cans, and maybe they're not needed? After all, Emerald Forest is just a quarter mile or so from downtown Trinidad, and buffered from wilderness by the 101 freeway to some extent. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here, and the price was comparable to staying at the state park. That said, this privately owned facility provided a lot more flexibility for changes than any state park I've ever stayed at, and that makes a difference when push comes to shove. I definitely see us staying here again, and look forward to that opportunity. Thank you, Emerald Forest, for saving our Thanksgiving in the trees once again.

This cut cabin was perfect for our needs. It felt like we were deep in the forest, but we not. It is close to town and many things to do near by.

What a beautiful campground filled with redwoods! It took a little effort to level our motorhome in site 98 but it was worth it. Electric, water & dump at the site along with a picnic table and fire pit. Across the way was the very clean bathrooms with showers. Friendly staff, nice onsite dog park and just a short drive from the cute town of Trinidad.

If you want to experience multiple ways to enjoy Northern California this is your place. You can bring your RV, trailer, tent, or stay in a cabin. The location is ideal 5 minutes from the beach ( moonstone, luffenholtz, Trinidad bay), 20 minutes north are the redwoods and 20 minutes south are cute little towns (Eureka, Arcata, Ferndale, and Fortuna) Our cabin had a kitchen and all the essential cooking utensils- which worked out well because we ended up eating at home one night of our 3 night stay. The WiFi isn't the greatest so you need to take advantage of the surrounding beauty. We played cards on the patio. Also it was weird to be in such a damp area, towels don't dry as quickly as I'm used to but other than that it was so nice to enjoy cool temperatures in the sumner. The staff was friendly and helpful. We picked up additional coffee pods and shampoo in the office since they do not clean the rooms during your stay due to Covid protocols.

Emerald forest, cabins, and RV park is a gem in the Redwoods. Now it's nothing fancy but the little cabin I stayed in, was pretty close to perfect. A little kitchenette that was up-to-date and will kept, a woodburning stove that worked great, and it came with wood for two nights. The bathroom wasn't very nice condition and clean. The bed was nice. There was also a flatscreen TV, which I could not figure out how to use. It was a streaming TV and I could not get any channels on it but I wasn't there to watch TV I was there to hike the redwoods and the beaches. My last thought on the place they could provide a laundry bag, a plastic laundry bag that you could throw your dirty clothes in when you went home. Other than that I would recommend this place to my friends and family and I will probably be staying there again.

Booked an RV site with full hookups for 5 days and was assured that there was plenty of space between sites. Little did I know that you would need a shoe horn to get in the spot. I was greatly disappointed that they would lie like that, I only stayed 2 days then moved on to another camp ground, loosing hundreds of dollars but getting my sanity back. The main issues we had, couldn't sit outside and relax by the fire unless you wanted to be part of a commune. Had to park the truck about 12" from the side of my trailer so the guy next to us could have his slide out. we could not park in front of trailer because people needed access to there trailers. They ran a diesel generator for hours on end. This place is very misleading and should not be running a business.

Outstanding camping location in Trinidad in Northern California and be in the beautiful area of the Redwoods National Forest.

If there were 6 star rating available this place would get it. Clean comfortable inviting individual stand alone cabins, cozy and new as far as I can tell. Nestled in the gorgeous redwoods the most picturesque cabins ever. Plenty of space outside for the kiddos to burn off their energy, come in take a hot shower have a cut of cocoa. This will be a constant on our travels North. Lynn & Tim aka The Wonderers

Totally felt mislead. The wife booked the cabin for family vacation, and the website information couldn't have been more vague or misleading. When I rent a family cabin that sleeps 6 people, I expected that it would have some kind of kitchen. Unfortunately, a microwave, Kurig coffee machine, and hotel fridge is their idea of a kitchen. I was hoping for at least a small sink, stove, and oven to cook our meals. I went to the office and was told some of them do, and some don't, and if we'd wanted one with a kitchen, we should have called them instead of online. And it's too late to try to get something else. Forgot to mention that we had to kill 3 sports. Never again, do a better job of reaching than we did, lol

Love this place. Staff out on the grounds are really amazing people. They are friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Hard workers. Only real problem was a very noisy fellow tent camper. They finally went to sleep around 12:30. Would appreciate if there was staff available to address this problem at night.

Look like my review got deleted so I'm going to repost mine from google from 1 year ago. Also to mention- other reviews on here seem to have been deleted such as someone else around the same time I went,!complaining about how they got kicked out of their space so the owner and friends could have a party along with multiple other complaints about this place. Absolutely ridiculous. My review: I left a review on yelp and now leaving one on here since the situation has escalated! I had a great time staying at the cabins, until I left and was charged $285 for damages I didn't do. I tried speaking with the front desk and all she did was hang up multiple times and refuse to let me speak with the manager. I wasn't rude, I didn't raise my voice, I was calm and just wanted to solve the problem. I called corporate, and the lady at the front desk did if I didn't get a response in 24 hours to call back! So I called back and the guy said since I called twice I'm annoying and not getting anything from them! REAL PROFESSIONAL! I left the review on yelp and the Rachel Zirin replied back that we had a party! This is funny because the first time I was told I was charged because I didn't report the damage when I got there. Why should I have to report damage that was already there? But ok....Then the guy from corporate said that I'm charged because someone reported an argument (shocker, there was not an argument, we had a peaceful trip and was just the two of us and we were gone hiking and exploring for most of the time)... and then Rachel said I'm being charged because of a party. There's a few things wrong with these statements! One, I read their rules and violations- we would have been kicked out for a party or violence! Not one person made a noise complaint because there was not a party. Second of all, I have receipts and photos/video with time stamps proving there was never a party and proving there was only 2 of us! A party with 2 people???? Interesting. Good thing I talked to the people close to the cabin in campsite and the cabins next to us because they could vouch no party or fight happened. If there was, someone would have reported because the campsite was so quiet you could hear everything and we would have been made to leave during the 4 nights we stayed. This is fraud and completely not ok no one can give a real reason to why we were charged and I was given 3 different reasons which all do not add up. Completely unprofessional. Also, Thanks Rachel for your SUPER professional reply!

We had an amazing time with our three kids, aged a 8, 9 and 11. Such a magical place and the best sleeping ever! Spacious sites and clean facilities.

What a beautiful place! It was quiet and peaceful. We loved waking up in a redwood grove and taking our dog for a lovely morning walk through this whole place. Bathrooms were clean and functional, and the staff was professional. This will be our "go to" spot in Humboldt County when we visit!

without question the best spots here are the tent sites and the small cabins. The RV sites are pretty small and bunched together....unless you're able to get one of the larger sites in the back. Unfortunately, those sites are right next to the freeway. All in all, a very cool and convenient place, set in a small wooded area right off the 101 freeway. They're also dog friendly, and provide a small, fenced in dog run area. Besides walking around with the dogs and checking out the less travelled and more-wooded areas reserved for tent campers, we found the highlight of this location to be the really nice private shower and restroom facilities with heated floors. Very much appreciated in the cool weather after a long road trip.

We have been coming here for years and unfortunately it's gone down hill. Beautiful place to camp but this year we had a maintenance man touch our belongings and move things in our camp twice when we were gone. My parents brought dog kennel panels for my sister and my parents placed it in her campsite when they were on there way and the maintenance man moved them and stacked them back in my parents camp. Then we had a rope light sitting on top a red wood stump so not even a live tree and this guy camp in our camp and took them down and put them on our ice chest while we were gone. It says no hanging stuff from trees which I understand we don't want to damage the live red woods and there bark which protects the trees but my lights weren't but sitting on top a tree stump. First off if they have an issue with something I firmly believe in talking to us and we would have gladly took them down and not just touching our belongings. To me this is a personal violation and no one should be touching our belongings. Next issue is we lost water in camp twice in a week. Once from a a tent site hit a water line when stacking down his tent. Which shows water lines are probably not to code. Other time is someone moved a table and hit a line. Obviously they have some problems to fix as they had no running water or bathrooms for some time while trying to fix these issues. We have had many great memories at this campground but unfortunately will have to find a new place to make memories.

Quaint throw-back cabins, clean, comfortable bed, great location with nice village + restaurants close by. We used this place as a base for exploring many redwood and ocean hikes.

My parents stayed here this week for three nights in their RV. The place was crowded and cramped. It had the feeling of a mobile home park rather than a campground. The RV sites were crammed in together like sardines. There is no privacy. They are quite seriously shoved one next to the other where you can see in windows and almost touch each other. My parents were pretty bummed as the photos made it seem like you had trees and distance between sites. Driving around the place you can see how village like it is. There are a ton of cabins bumper to bumper, all facing each other in a ring, RV's crammed in the middle.... if you are looking for community and fellowship with strangers on your trip, this might be a place for you, but if you are wanting privacy, the illusion of seclusion, and a quiet stay, keep driving. It was noisy with all the dogs and traffic. When my parents arrived they were about to cancel their reservation and look elsewhere as this was not what they were expecting, but before they could, they overhead the front desk person telling someone else that they don't issue refunds if you cancel. So, there went that. They made the most of it. The hook up amps weren't what they needed and it wasn't a relaxing stay, but we were out and about enough that they were really only bothered at night.

We stayed at Emerald Forest RV Park in Trinidad, CA the first week of May 2021. The personnel at the park were very friendly and unobtrusive. Initially, we had reserved a site with water and 30A service (no sewer) but decided we would rather have full hookups. The staff were happy to accommodate us. We chose Emerald Forest because we travel with our dogs, and Emerald Forest happily accommodated us. They provide a small but clean dog area for off leash time but our dogs were welcome throughout the park on leash. The park itself is beautiful with big trees and natural, lush landscaping. The bathing facilities are clean, secure and well maintained. Our RV site (#72) was one that backed to Hwy 101 and, while road noise was present during the day when the log trucks are running but it was unnoticeable at night. The only downside was our RV site (#72) was VERY un-level. Not so much that a well prepared camper couldn't correct with blocks but... That said, the other RV sites seemed reasonably flat. To be fair, we did change our reservation upon arrival.

This place is clean, quiet , beautiful and amazing. We went in Nov (little rain ) and the drive around Trinidad will not disappoint you. The walk around the campgrounds was a nice walk lots of trees, we will definitely come back. Thank you Emerald Forest

I have been here twice, once in the early summer (first week of June) and in the Fall. EF is within walking distance (about mile) to Trinidad State Beach, a lovely little downtown area with the weekend open Beachcomber Cafe (bring your own cup), and within driving distance of Moonstone and Lam Beach where your pup can run its heart out. Campsites are in the trees so be prepared for a bit of chill but there is a "courtyard" bathed in sun perfect for a lawn chair and a good book, dish washing stations, super nice clean bathrooms/showers, and is dog friendly. Tent sites and cabins for those of you who are opposed to tent life. Make sure to bring good fire starters because the wood tends to be damp; you will definitely need a campfire, a beanie, and some warm clothes for the nights and early mornings. May the Forest Be With You!!!

Picture perfect. Ideally located for Redwood hunting! From the time we pulled up to the park office, we were in love with Emerald Forest. Wonderous trees, tranquility, peaceful. Office staff was always friendly and helpful. Our CABIN was clean, cozy. But the CAMP SITES were really awesome. So spacious, on a bed of pine needles in a quiet dark corner of the park; made me want to give up my cabin and pitch a tent! Emerald Forest is the place to stay.

Came here to have a nice relaxing stay for my birthday. Booked a premium cabin. The picture of the cabin was completely different than what I was provided. The cabin was connected to another cabin through a door and I could here the family the entire time. The father coughing up a lung all night and the kids screaming. I was not told the cabins were connected ABSOLUTELY NO WHERE on the website does it state that come cabins are connected. The lady working the desk said that's just how it is. I tried not to let it bother me until the children started knocking on the door in between the cabins. I recommend asking as many questions as possible if youre going to rent a cabin here. I also was told my cabin had a back porch.. but that couldn't be possible since it was split in two. Customer service sucks and the little girl working the front desk has no clue about anything. I do not recommend for couples trying to get away.

We were on a road trip from Southern California to Oregon with no planned stopped just winging it so to speak. After staying in Fort Bragg we looked up this place and it seemed like a cool place to stay 1 night. We liked it so much that we stayed 3 nights. The 1st night we were in spot 79 - it was ok as an end spot but we moved to spot 20 for the next 2 nights- Wow so roomy and cool - check out the pics - definitely a spot to stay at - we see ourselves coming back here one day again

The park is beautiful and well kept, VERY CLEAN. We stayed in spot #93, a pullthrough, and it is very large, even with a 35'TT. Hookups all worked great and there are multiple Cable Channels. Both 30&50Amp service. Fire Pit and Bench were far enough away to not crowd the VERY large space and no smoke blowing into the trailer. Did not see alot of maintenance crew, but quite frankly, the park is very clean and maybe they are Ninja's who you never see? I give it a 4 because it is LOUD. Highway 101 was RIGHT behind us. Between about 7AM-7PM, there is a lot of traffic. It really slows down when the sun sets, so the nighttime is not too bad. We are going to look for another campground that is a bit quieter, but love Trinidad and the surrounding area.

David S.

Yelp
Clean park, friendly staff. Loved camping among the redwood trees. Offeres everything that we needed. Full hook-ups, fenced dog yard, firewood sales, etc. Be sure to drive slowly and carefully as some of the turns a tight but not really bad so worth it to be right among the trees!

Steve F.

Yelp
The place itself is beautiful and well kept...nice to camp, not so much for RV. Real real tight. The Office staff were not understanding knowing we were broke down and had to be towed from our site by charging us for two nights that we couldn't stay on a mid week day in the rain when they had other vacancies. Don't expect favors or compassion, paying customers are treated as anyone off of the street. My only complaint. There are nice hikes to local beaches all within a mile.

I loved staying at Emerald Forest! It was such a hidden gem that I probably wouldn't have found without a friend's suggestion. Our cabin was clean, the staff were all very kind and helpful, the location is beautiful... I hope we get to go back soon!

Yelp
This was a great camping spot! Right off the highway but quiet and peaceful. The spot we were assigned was in a bit of a hallow so we had a relatively secluded spot and were surrounded by redwood trees. Very clean and updated bathrooms and showers but they were a bit of a hike from our camp site. It was a beautiful place and felt super immersive. We would definitely go back and recommend!

Kyle K.

Yelp
Emerald Forest is a very scenic, and comfortable spot to camp. The campsite was clean, the people around us were respectful, and we enjoyed our time camping in the Redwoods. Our only complaint was the service at the front desk. The staff member was not rude, but was not there -- almost dismissive. They failed to tell us about the coin operated showers and other details of our stay that led to inconveniences that would have been easily overcome with direct communication from the front desk. These small frustrations did not ruin our stay, just made it more difficult. With a friendly staff, who enjoys being in the Redwoods and helping people, this place would be 5 stars, tip top.

Yelp
Part of their sign is broken off so drive slow so you don't miss their entrance. Apparently it's an extra $10 tacked on to your stay if you have kids. Wifi doesn't work, there's 3 different ones that cycle for you to connect to but all have the same, non existent connection. We were only staying one night so really it was just a spot to pull through& park. However, when we pulled into our site we noticed there was no picnic table & no fire pit. Ok, weird but again we were just using it as a home base for the night. For the time we were at the site when we pulled in, we did notice a chunk of rusty metal in the middle of the site so my husband moved it off to the side so we could park & so the kids wouldn't get hurt on it. .. (later figured out it was, at one time, a fire ring) also enjoyed trash throughout our site (maybe previous persons trash bag opened? Overflowed? and a constant aroma of Marijuana (someone slept well lol). Again, whatever, gross, not staying again- were leaving in the am. Here's what pissed me off, next morning we leave and a few hours later get a phone call from someone accusing us of running over their fire pit. My husband explained to them what reality was and instead of, at minimal, apologizing in the least simply said well we'll have to check with maintenance. OK you do that & now, enjoy this review. Next time, maybe don't be rude & accusatory to your customers.

Not happy. First they removed dumping station included with our stay years back. We have to pay per person per extra car per night. Then they recently put coin operated showers that used to be included with our stay. The showers heads are awful. There is terrible pressure so and they squirt everywhere. The cable television access has been removed, not that we used it but what is the replacement benefit to the paying customer. The cost to camp with all the extras, and lack of quality makes a hotel seem real nice. I have been coming for 24 years. What disappointing changes, we are going to have to shop around more.

Beautiful campsite, but that has a lot to do with the location. Customer service is questionable. We checked in late after driving all day. Clerk said something weird at check-in in regards to her waiting on us (it was about 7pm and they close at 9pm) so that she could take her break. She then had me fill out this ridiculously long form with info I already gave on my on-line reservation. She seemed annoyed I helded up her break time. We were on our last stop on our way from my last work assignment in Missouri up to my new one in Oregon. So we were tired, and my son and I were battling a cold, so not feeling well. The next morning we were moving slow and in the process of packing it up to hit the road when at 11:10 some rude guy shows us banging on our door telling us it's check out time asking when we're leaving. We were the only ones there in an RV with no one else waiting on our camp site and with no mess to clean up. Although oddly, when trying to take my trash bag to the dumpster, it was locked, so I had to leave it next to the dumpster. Horrible customer service. We definitely will not be stopping there again. Shame, too, because before we stayed, I was thinking we would head back on a weekend off to relax in one of their cute cabins. Nope!

If would give 6 stars if I could! This is my third time staying there and it's just a dream of a place, perfectly located in between attractions if you are in Humboldt County. A few tips-bring lots of quarters for the showers, Cell reception may be spotty at times, contingent if the campground is full or not. The better cell reception is by the front office AND in the RV sites towards the back. Please be a kind human and watch the road signs, so please do NOT drive your RV in the campground areas, unless you are the Hulk and get it out (I had to redirect someone). The office people are sweet and kind and I would stay there in a heartbeat any day!!!

This is a wonderful and well-maintained campground. They have the accommodations you could hope for when staying during a quick night or two including a small laundry room and convenience store. The campsites are nestled in the redwoods and offer a wonderful sense of privacy and feel cozy with all of the beautiful trees. We would stay again!

Hidden in the Emerald Forrest, nestled in the Tall Reds , and sunk deep in the years of growth was a enchanted stay. The cabins drew me back to the simpler of times! Times when we walked ong the Giants, the Ancients of Days. Spread among the land of needed coverings light shined through to touch the earth. Heaven shined down on our beautiful weekend. Visit this wonderful place and experience the JOY.

This place is so beautiful. We had a small RV and was very convenient, though you could hear 101. The tent sites were some of the most beautiful sites I've ever seen.

I want to like this place but if you have an RV it can be a nightmare. All of the RV sites are so close together we could not comfortably sit outside at all. We found that we had to move our truck several times so that other people could back into their site. The tent sites looked amazing and well spaced out.

Save your money and pick a different campground. I reserved two spots on my card..when we arrived months later our spots were not anywhere near each other. One of the spots was so small and in the middle of the road.

This campground was great! The staff was very helpful checking in, and the little store in the office was pretty well stocked. The wifi didn't reach my campsite.. but who cares!? We're camping!!! I will say the tent sites are a bit small if you plan to stay for an extended period of time. We just stayed the night on our way through town so it was fine for us. The bathrooms were clean and I enjoyed the extra level of security with the locking door to the bathroom. I would totally recommend this site to anyone passing through looking for a pet friendly campground with great amenities. Only reason it doesn't get five stars is the small campsite in the tent area.

ANOTHER YELP SUCCESS! I couldn't of been more excited to write this review. What an enchanted forest. I live in Sonoma County and hoped on Yelp to find a new place to take the TT (travel trailer). We drove 5 hours and 243 miles north on a whim to this magical enchanted forest and couldn't of been more pleased. The tent sites are DYNAMITE too ! We came the first weekend in May with our 7 mo old baby and 3 dogs. We found to much relaxation and peace and quiet. You can literally hear a pin drop. You are about a mile from the coast and protected from the trees. We stayed in site #20 which HUGE and a pull through corner site. There was so much room for our family to play. There are so many site here that are spread out. Take a walk deep in the grove, the tent sites are legit and tucked away with privacy. The bath house was the cleanest I've ever seen. It was cleaner than my bathroom. There is a fenced dog park, laundry facilities, arcade, cabins, store, gazebo, playground, grass, it's endless. Their store is open from 9am - 10pm We would absolutely come back here in a heartbeat.

We come to the cabins year after year with a group of changing international university students. We could not be happier with the facilities and customer care, the setting and very local attractions (e.g. Redwoods, beaches, hikes, restaurants, etc.)! Five Stars!!!

We met up with family at emerald forest cabins and we had an amazing time . The places were clean, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of appliances and the location was beautiful. We enjoyed the grounds and the area around Trinidad . We will hopefully be back .
