Nearly 95% of all old-growth redwoods left in the world are found in California, and close to half of them are located in the Redwoods National and State Parks complex. This large multi-agency complex includes Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, 50 miles north of Eureka. The park contains the tallest trees in the world, and the species hasn’t changed at all since the Jurassic Age. Their significance and importance to the world have given them protection as both a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve.

Getting Outdoors
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park boasts an incredible 75 miles of hiking trails and 20 miles of biking trails. Three miles of trail are wheelchair-accessible, including the Redwood Access Trail and Revelation Trail. The park's most popular trail is probably the half-mile out-and-back into Fern Canyon. This flat hike is almost guaranteed to get your feet wet, but the tall fern-draped canyons will transport you back to the age of the dinosaurs. And that's probably why a major Hollywood dinosaur movie was filmed here. Longer, more challenging hikes include the wooded eight-mile rhododendron trail and the four-and-a-half-mile James Irvine Trail to Gold Bluffs Beach.
Camping at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park
There are two campgrounds at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The largest is Elk Prairie with 75 sites near the visitors' center. The Elk Prairie Campground is also the easiest to access with a rental RV since the road is relatively wide and maintained. But due to the small campground spaces, the maximum RV length is 27 feet. This campground is next to a peaceful meadow where you can observe the elk, and most sites have good shade and privacy under the canopy of trees. Amenities at Elk Prairie Campground include hot showers, restrooms, water, and picnic tables with grills. There are no RV hookups or dump station within the park at all.
Exploring the Area
Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park has a fun event one day a month during the fall through spring called “Hike and Bike Days.” The park closes the parkway to vehicles and encourages pedestrians and their pets to enjoy the parkway on foot or bicycle. Redwood National Park adjoins Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and offers even more exploration opportunities. While there's no RV camping in Redwood National Park, you can still enjoy scenic drives, guided tours, and plenty of wildlife. Other nearby redwood parks include Del Norte Coast and Jedediah Smith, both near Crescent City and offering RV camping opportunities.

Evan was a great host and eager to make our trip the best it could be. The motorhome was perfect for bouncing around different campsites and making trips into town when needed.

We really enjoyed our trip, and Michael was very responsive to questions during our trip. This was our first RV experience. In hindsight I should have asked more questions upfront as we ended up booking the wrong type of camping site (didn't have all the right hook ups), and had some hiccups with the propane. A user guide would have been helpful. But overall we had a beautiful holiday and the kids loved the RV and the bunk beds. Would not hesitate to rent again!

I am very honored to be the first customer of the brand new RV. As this was my first RV trip, I had so many questions. Evan answered all my questions very patiently, no matter it's related to RV, campground or local recommendations.
Thanks Evan and his RV giving us a such a wonderful trip in Redwood NP!
