Known as the largest coastal city between Portland, Oregon, and San Francisco, Eureka is the county seat for Humboldt County in northern California. On top of its governmental importance, it is an economic and cultural hub for the entire Redwoods Empire region of California and one of the best places to rent an RV in the state.

Eureka was once known as Jaroujiji long ago, before the arrival of settlers. The Wiyot indigenous people called this stunning area home, recognizing it as a place of great beauty and strategic location too. The area was found by Russian explorers, Spanish conquistadors, and overland adventurers before being officially settled in the 19th century. The discovery of gold coupled with the resources of the sea and the mighty redwood trees made for excellent economic opportunities, and the settlers capitalized by building the city. Eureka chugged on and slowly rose to prominence over the years, especially with the arrival of the Redwood Highway and the railways providing easy access to town.

Now you can book an RV in Eureka, and see the very best of California packed neatly into a convenient and thrilling city by the water. Museums, zoos, parks, shopping centers, and amazing festivals like the Rhododendron Festival and the Redwood Coast Music Festival await when you book a motorhome rental in Eureka.

The Great Outdoors

There are endless opportunities for nature lovers to get out and into the woods when they rent an RV in Eureka, so what are you waiting for? Humboldt Redwoods State Park can be found when you head south out of Eureka, and you will be anything but disappointed with what you find. To reach this outdoor paradise, you must first drive through the Avenue of Giants, a famous roadway that winds its way through groves of massive redwood trees, and sometimes through a tree itself. California is famous for these redwood trees, known for being the largest species of tree on the planet. Half of the park is thought to be old-growth forest, with trees well over 2,000 years old. There are hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails throughout the park, as well as some camping areas to accommodate you and your Eureka camper rental.

To the north along the coast, you can also enjoy a variety of other state parks and recreation areas, like Dry Lagoon State Park, Humboldt Lagoon State Park, and Harry A. Merlo State Recreation Area. Dry Lagoon and Humboldt Lagoon are adjacent to one another, offering guests ample space to swim in salty lagoons overlooking the actual ocean. You can walk along the beaches too, if lagoons don’t do it for you, or observe some migratory birds resting during their annual treks.

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is just to the north of these state parks, although it is larger than all three of the parks combined. This amazing park has old-growth redwoods too, some reaching 300 feet in height or more. There are lots of hiking trails, day-use areas, pristine beaches, and a visitor center to welcome park guests.

Redwood National and State Parks is the name used to categorize a large complex made from assorted state parks and Redwood National Park itself. The park is more of the same, with breathtaking views, mighty redwood forests, jagged coastlines, and camping spaces for your Eureka RV rental by owner. You can reconnect with nature and hike through these ancient woods or make a trip to the beach and stroll along the lost coasts devoid of development.

RV Parks

It is easy to find parks and recreation areas when you rent an RV in Eureka, and it can be even easier to find your ideal camping spot or RV park when you visit the town.

Redwood Coast Cabins and RV Resort is another upscale option with cabins and spacious RV spots to rent. The park also has a hot tub, pool, playground, mini-golf course, bocce courts, a dog park, and bicycle rentals for its guests.

City Sightseeing

Eureka isn’t just an outdoor mecca; there is plenty to do in town to occupy your time when you rent an RV there too. The town is full of historic buildings, beautiful city parks, art galleries, museums, markets, and mouthwatering restaurants serving up local cuisine. The Carson Mansion is perhaps the best example of historic architecture in the city, and it has become a major icon representing Eureka. This stunning Victorian mansion is large and impressive, but can only be seen from the outside as it is not open for tours.

The Clarke Historical Museum was established by a local schoolteacher in the city’s old bank, and there is lots to be learned there. The old bank has incredible architectural style, with Greek columns adorning its front facade. Inside lies a treasure trove of information helping to bring guests into the past. With exhibits highlighting gold rush settlements, Native American relations, artifacts from other cultures, fishing villages, and the logging industry, you can learn about the many facets of Eureka when you tour this amazing resource.

The Sequoia Park Zoo is a fascinating place for people of all ages, especially young children with a passion for wildlife. The park is smaller than most major zoos but much more inviting with a focus on taking great care of the animals. There are monkeys, red pandas, reptiles of all sorts, and hundreds of other types in their respective enclosures, and you can see them all when you drop by for a visit.
