Riverwalk RV Park & Campground

There are all sorts of unique natural areas to visit while renting an RV in the area, so whether you want to go on an exploratory expedition or seek out your own special spot in the wild, you'll find what you're looking for. A visit to either Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Loleta or Headwaters Forest Reserve in Arcata will definitely be in order if you are interested in seeing nature in all its glory. The former will give you an excellent chance to see the birds and wildlife of the bay, spanning from the dunes to the salt marshes. A trip to Headwaters gives you a chance to hike a couple of trails in a rainforest-like setting; one of the trails is only open for in-depth guided tours. It will be a lot easier to get lost in Mendocino National Forest, found near the Mad River. Crossing through multiple towns and covering hundreds of miles, this 900,000-acre area is the only one of California’s national forests to have no paved roads passing through it. It's a terrific spot to hike around and see some amazing scenery largely untouched by human hands. There are areas for camping as well as fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, off-roading, and interpretive areas for nature viewing. Make sure you also take the time to explore Humboldt Redwoods State Park in Weott, as you will find few sights like it left in the world. One of the largest redwood forests remaining on the planet, you can see some epic trees here along with the beauty of the Eel River. Enjoy recreational activities like hiking, fishing, boating, and biking, or check out the area from an interpretive angle and try the guided tours and exhibits offered within the park.
