Hi Jeff,
All of the suggestions for a place to camp with a RV are Great Places, BUT some of the suggestions are over 100 miles south of the area (Humboldt & further North) you said you were visiting. You might want to look at a map before trying to find some of these places being recommended. Just a heads up.
Happy Trails,
Tim

on the old hwy. Nice place to walk amongst the Redwoods. It has 3 camping
loops, the south east loop(sunny) has electrical hook ups they also have a
RV length limit. They've got nature walks and a campfire program too.

parking areas to access the beach. One is a day use only parking lot, the
other which is closest to the exit/underpass is an overnight parking lot and
beach campground. It can accommodate any vehicle from a 40 foot Class A to
people camping out of the back of a Bug. There are no hook-ups and no water,
strictly a dry camp stop. It does have pit toilets. If memory serves me, it
was about $8.00 a night on a first come, first serve basis. There are camp
hosts living in a small trailer in one of the corners of the parking lot. No
generators after 10pm. Never heard one the whole time we were there, so we
didn't run ours either.

Point. There are over 100 campsites and a lot of them have shade. Didn't see
any hook-ups, but they have water and bathrooms. It's a short walk to the
beach from just about anywhere in the park. Agate Beach is a great one to
take the family and look for Agates. In the morning there is seminar at the
visitor's center to help identify the various rocks available for rock
hounding on the various beaches in the area. Maximum length for motorhomes
is supposed to be 30 feet, but they let us in with a 32. You might check to
see if you need reservations @ 1-707-677-3570 or 1-800-444-7275.

> If you prefer full hook-ups, try the Sounds of the Sea RV Park & Spa. It's
located across the road from Patrick Point State Campground to the south
about 3-4 miles. They have what they call "Super Sites", these are extra
large spots with views of the ocean. 1-800-598-0600.

> If you make it to Crescent City, try Shoreline RV Park. They have spaces
very close to the ocean and are relatively reasonable for the area.
