Getting Outdoors
Many recreationists come to camp at Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area for the Eel River. This beautiful river winds through the bluffs and has everything from rapids to sandy beaches to 20-foot deep swimming holes. It’s great for floating, kayaking, swimming, and sunbathing.
Camping at Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area
You’ll be able to bring your small motorhome rental to Standish-Hickey State Recreation Area year-round, but only two of the three campgrounds are open in the winter. The campgrounds are small and can only accommodate RVs up to 27 feet in length. All campgrounds have ADA-accessible sites. Dogs are allowed to camp with you, as long as they’re kept under control and on a leash no longer than six feet. They’re not allowed on the trails, and you’ll have to watch for toxic algae sometimes found at the river.
Exploring the Area
There are no fuel or groceries to speak of in Leggett. The closest fuel and food you’ll find are at least 15 miles in either direction, with the closest big-box stores an hour away in both directions. If you’re starting near San Francisco and want to make your drive south to north, depart Standish-Hickey SRA north along the Redwood Highway. You’ll pass through numerous redwood groves and arrive at Humboldt Redwoods State Park after about 45 minutes, assuming you don’t stop for pictures. You're not done at Humboldt, though; you have almost a half-dozen more redwoods parks to explore before reaching Oregon.

Dale and Gordon were fantastic hosts and our trip in their Travato will never be forgotten. We explored redwoods up in Humboldt area (Burlington Campground) as well as many magnificent locations along the coast north of Fort Bragg. Both Dale and Gordon were so responsive and answered all of our questions we had during the planning stages of our trip. Their van definitely had positive vibes...and we hope we added some! There is a good chance we will rent this van again...if you have been thinking about doing it...just do it! It is one of the best ways to travel and really get out in the expansive beauty of Northern California.

The vehicle was exactly as described and everything worked well. Dale and Gordon couldn't have been nicer - they gave us a thorough walk through, patiently answered all questions before and during our trip, and even gave us home made cookies before we headed out! The power batteries also charge when you drive, which was essential in our case given that we had very little sun nor used campgrounds during our trip. Overall, excellent experience!

Just a couple minor issues that were remedied easily. Great trailer that we hope is available next year.
