What campers say
The campground report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores are worth reading together: campers like the quiet redwood setting, the staff and the dog park, while worn bathhouses, one-washer laundry, dusty gravel roads and weak Wi-Fi pull some scores down.

Our take: a dependable, family-friendly KOA in the trees with real big-rig sites, close to both the redwoods and town. Expect KOA prices, some worn facilities and gravel roads, and book a patio or Big Rig Lane site if you want space.

Crescent City / Redwoods KOA Holiday is a franchise campground in a redwood grove north of town, with six RV site types from water-and-electric back-ins to concrete KOA Patio pull-thrus. KOA changed hands in mid-2025, and recent reviews mention ongoing work on the grounds.
Best for
- Families: a playground, game room, dog park and camp store are all inside the gate.
- Big rigs: Big Rig Lane and Patio pull-thrus have 50-amp power.
- Redwood trips: Jedediah Smith and Stout Grove are about 20 minutes away.
- Campfire lovers: fires are allowed year-round.
Consider this
- Bathhouses and the laundry get mixed reviews; campers report one working washer at times.
- Gravel roads can be dusty or potholed, and some sites are tight for big slide-outs.
- Wi-Fi and cell signal are weak in parts of the park.
- Nightly rates aren’t published, so compare quotes with nearby parks.
