Giant Redwoods RV Park and Camp

Get out swimming, kayaking and fishing on the South Fork Eel River, or cycling, walking and horse riding in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, both next to the site. Then wander along to the Avenue of the Giants, an easy half mile away, to see the famed redwoods towering up above. The best-known sights in the Avenue are the Immortal Tree (so called as it's survived floods, logging attempts and a lightning strike); the Shine Drive-Thru Tree (now privately owned, so you'll need to pay $5 or so if you want to drive your car through) and the Tree House, a home that's partially built inside one of the redwoods. The Avenue runs alongside the spectacular Eel River, where there are several scenic spots for picnicking and wild swimming. Several little Californian towns are along the river, including the RV park's local of Myers Flat, a small and busy tourist town that runs regular events and music festivals. Wine buffs can drive along to the winery and tastings of Elk Prairie Vineyard five miles away, high up at 1,200 feet on nearby Fruitland Ridge.
