Near Redwood National Park
Within a 30-minute drive from the Jedediah Smith Visitor Center.
This is a beautiful 2.8 acre secluded group campsite with a geodesic dome, just minutes away from the ocean, giant redwood forests, and the beautiful Smith River. Surfing, paddling, hiking, biking, ocean or river activities abound. Surrounded by pastures, with frequent herds of elk roaming nearby and sometimes through the campsite itself. This is a primitive campsite. It is a grassy area to park your campervan or set up your tent. While work is going into the site to improve it's functionality, it is not up and running yet. we have a toilet onsite and tables where you can set up your kitchen, however there are no showers and you wil need to pack it in and out. You will certainly enjoy this nature getaway!

Crescent city campsite
We loved camping on Aaron's land. It is adjacent to the KOA, but we weren't disturbed by any noise. It was the perfect spot to stop off the 101 and perfect for some stargazing. Would recommend staying here!

Overall the site was a good location. For the price, I would try to find something better. The “hot shower” and other amenities listed are part of the KOA that require an additional fee. Kinda shady to not include that detail. Seems expensive to park your car and sleep on the ground with basically no amenities…

Crescent city campsite
Wonderful, quiet site w/wildlife!
Very close to Crescent City and a very nice and quiet, well maintained spot with a couple of fire pits and a wonderful dome structure which can be rented. If you don't like seeing deer going through your Campground or elk in the field next door, then this place is not for you!

Not the best for tenting. Ground is uneven and you will require a thick air mattress. Normal foamy or air pad not going to cut it.

Surf Dome Smith River
Great host, the dome is awesome. Pretty close to amenities and state parks. Temps were in the 60’s when we went and it was very comfortable day and night. We had 2 large dogs and they had plenty of space to roam, but keep in mind that tent campers may be pretty close by and there is no full fence separating the KOA so they’ll need to be well behaved dogs.
