Chinook RV Resort

We stayed here for 5 days in mid-June 2017 using Passport America rates ($20/night).

The location is fantastic because it's right in between the north and south parts of Redwood National and State Park. We explored the north park near Crescent City and also went south towards Orick -- both were about the same distance from Chinook.

If you can, ask for spot #34 -- that's the one next to the river. We were in #36 next to it and had a great view (when the people in #34 left).

The site is grass and level. We didn't even bother putting our jacks down. There is up to 50 amp service.

The best part about being next to the river is seeing all the different kinds of birds catching fish! We even saw a bald eagle one morning!

We have an AT&T and T-Mobile phone and they don't have service at all here.

We do have a Verizon Jetpack and it only had 1 bar of LTE service -- good enough for somewhere between 3 and 4 Mbps. Enough to check email, stream music, and scroll social media, but not good enough for non-buffering video.

I met the maintenance folks and they are super nice. We had a friendly chat and they gave me suggestions on places to see/go.

The resort isn't extremely modernized. You can tell that the owners haven't put much into it in recent years other than general upkeep and maintenance; however, don't let that deter you. It's a great value, the people here are friendly, and it the location can't be beat. I'd definitely come back here again.

I liked it here, but I did have the best site in the park, overlooking the Klamath River. Mostly a fisherman's RV park with a lot of what seemed like permanent or semi permanent trailers. People here were friendly, all waiting for the Chinook season to start I think. My fee of $20.00 was with the Passport America program which gives you 1/2 off. I don't think this park is worth $40. a night but maybe it's negotiable too. Would not call this a resort though, just a Campground. Presently for sale so all could change.

Stayed here July 20-23, 2018. Grassy sites that are hard so jacks didn’t sink in. We were in the middle row near the laundry and had almost the entire row. There are some river front sites that are great but seem to always be full. There is a little general store, a laundry room and showers available. The camp hosts are super friendly and helpful. We were able to use the dock there to use our kayak and they even loaned us life jackets since we hadn’t bought any yet. Camp host Josh makes a community campfire every morning and every night and even shared his marshmallows with us. He provides great info on the area and about the river. They have someone on site who will take you further up the river and drop you off to kayak back down and do boat trips as well. We stayed an extra day because we liked it so much. The campground had just been purchased by new owners and they are making improvements. It needs some maintenance and could use some cleaning up but everything worked and the staff are awesome. A great deal for full hookups on the river. AAA discount gives you $2 a night off.

Excellent location on the Klamath River. Clean restrooms and showers. Beautiful views of river and excellent customer service. Kayak and boat rentals with onsite fishing guide. More than just a camp for fishermen. It's definitely our favorite place to stay in the area.

We planned on staying here 1 week & extended it to 3 weeks. Very close to multiple Redwood groves for hikes, nearby beach with views similar to Big Sur. We were camped next to the river which was beautiful. Park is very quiet. Full hookups. It wasn’t very busy during our time here so we always had a good amount of space. Clean laundry room & a small playground for younger kids. Just over $20/night with Passport America discount. Only downside is there’s no WiFi & Verizon had 2 bars. Would definitely return.

Nice people. Right on the water. Not to far from anything.
Cell service wasn’t great, and The WiFi didn’t reach to our sight.

We stayed using Passport America for two days, and had such a good time we added a third night. Slightly steep in and out, but we didn't scrape. Our spot was grassy and double wide, with a full length view of river out the right side window. Weather was sunny and low 60s there during the day in late Feb, in the 40s at night. Full hookups, some very basic wifi that would work for email and web browsing, but no streaming. We could get US Cellular (on our AT&T modem) 4G LTE 1 bar without booster, 3 with, but no Verizon. We did not use the showers or laundry so cannot comment on those. The people who worked there put on a nightly fire at 6:30pm and we hung out with them all three nights. Great conversation and they even brought my girlfriend cupcakes for her birthday on the last night of our stay! They were constantly working on improvements for the place during the day and the hard work shows. Just minutes from Redwood Casino / Klamath to the south and some of the Redwood touristy stuff was close by to the north (i.e. Trees of Mystery).

We only stopped for the night but the location was beautiful. Green grass throughout and river in front.

Area has internet issues. Could get some data flow but was slow.

Some noise from the highway but hardly concerning.

Ammenities were clean and roomy.

Staff were very friendly.

We stayed for one night while hitting prairie creek. Our site was right along the River. We fished the Klamath and watched it go out and come in.
Full hookups, fire rings, great picnic tables. Grassy lots with perimeter of trees along property. Right off highway, which was Not loud through the night surprisingly.
A few local markets within driving distance, and a casino with a gas station. But overall a bit isolated.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The Passport America rate of $25 was a great value! The host, Don and Maria, were super helpful and so nice. They welcomed us at our site and talked to use before we left. They even gave our dog a treat for the ride. We did not use the restrooms but they appeared to be cleaning them once or twice a day. We did not get TV or wi-fi at all. This is a small campground right off of 101.

Locally (2 miles away) you can see a great sunset off of Requa Road. You can also catch a good cell signal there as well. The Lady Bird Johnson Grove has a nice hiking trails, no dogs allowed. Don’t waste your time going to the Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City as you cannot get closer to the LH and there are some weirdos hanging out there. The Crescent City Harbor is a place to see some fishing boats and read about the seafood industry.
