RV rental Humboldt Redwoods State Park, CA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

One of the unique features of Humboldt Redwoods State Park is the infamous Avenue of the Giants. This 32-mile long road roughly parallels Highway 101, the “Redwood Highway.” The drive takes you through the dark, mysterious forest that reaches 300 feet above you. There are numerous pullouts where you can walk through old groves, have a picnic, and access the Eel River. Speaking of the Eel River, there are plenty of opportunities for watersports at Humboldt Redwoods State Park. This large river meanders for 30 miles through the park and has plenty of beaches, boat launches, and swimming holes spread out along its banks. There are even some bars accessible to 4WD vehicles when the conditions are right. Just be careful around the water. The currents can be fast, especially after heavy rains. Fishing for steelhead and salmon is available with a proper fishing license. The large area covered by this park make it perfect for hosting over 100 miles of hiking, bicycling, and horseback trails. Five of the trails are wheelchair-accessible. One of them goes through the Founders Grove, which takes you past the Dyerville Giant and the tree named after the founder of Save The Redwoods League. The three-quarter mile Stephen’s Grove Loop Trail takes you through one of the first groves protected by the park and remnants of a campground covered by a flood during the last century. Many strenuous hikes are also available, like the 13.6-mile Look Prairie-Peavine Ridge-Thornton Loop-Homestead Trail, which takes you through various ecosystems, old-growth forests, and marvelous viewpoints.
