Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort

ok but seeems more for kids.
showers are good though.

The KOA at Willits is nestled in a pretty, wooded area of the valley just outside of the small town. By mid-afternoon when we arrived, it was mostly empty with just a handful of guests. The park was essentially a gravel parking lot dotted with trees and slow, black bunnies that lacked a healthy fear for humans and dogs. It’s got a few classic cheap thrills for kids—a fake row of olde-timey-gold-rush-town storefronts, a petting zoo with few animals to pet, a mini golf course that’s been thrashed by one too many kids, a western-themed play area reminiscent of a carnival, and a few decent playgrounds (that we're full of wasps).

Bathrooms: didn't use them
Hookups: full hookups
Dog Park: no
Kid Friendly: yes (playgrounds, mini golf, western town)
Laundry: didn't use

This was our first KOA experience and we were there in the offseason, although it was over Veterans Day weekend. They had some fun kid activities but on closer inspection, many were dirty or rundown. Mini golf was covered with leaves, not really playable. Tunnel area - we saw mold on the signs. petting Zoo - the animals looked so sad, fishing pond - locked most of the time, and we had to ask the front desk to unlock it - seemed like we were inconveniencing them. No coffee in the shop in the morning. It was pretty and the spots were nice, especially End spots, but amenities were lacking. Hot water in showers sometimes.

We arrived late and left early, only hooking up to electric. The site was easy to get in and was nice and level. Trash is covienent as you leave it at your site when you leave. WiFi was good. We didn’t make use of the play equipment, pool or the little play town area but it looks awesome for kids in the warm months. Easy to find as well, good signage.

We had made a reservation here for the Labor Day weekend on a recommendation from one of the staff members in another KOA we regularly go to. Just before the visit we happened to come across reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor and were very skeptical but it was too late to cancel the reservation so we went anyways.
We were pleasantly surprised; the campground was very well organized. There were a lot of activities for the kids. After reading the negative reviews we tried to keep our interaction with the staff to minimum but we found them to be polite and courteous. They seemed to be very by the book which can be perceived not so favorably by some customers. We weren't in any such situation with the staff so won't comment.
You can order firewood for $10 a bundle and they deliver to your campsite. If you are on a campsite w/o the sewer hookup then you can schedule a HoneyWagon visit to empty your tanks; they charge $7 if you order at the time of checkin, $12 if you order during the stay and $20 if you order for the same day service.
We have a front-bedroom floorpan so we like back-in sites with trees in the back. The back-in sites in this campground are great they are very wide and deep. Yes the sites have big gravel like some other reviews say but that's fine because they do have a concrete pad with picnic bench on it and a fire ring in the back. (Look at the pic.)
One big negative for us was that the campground roads weren't paved beyond the entrance of the campground this resulted into a lot of dust from the moving cars and staff golf carts. Everything was covered in thick dust. We don't mind dust if we were hiking or off-roading or doing some activity but getting dust from the traffic in a KOA campsite doesn't make sense to us. This is the only reason that we won't return here until the inside roads are paved.

Decent amount of things to see and do. Facilities are well kept and maintained.

Our back-in site slopped to the back too much to get level, but we made do. Water and electric only was fine for a couple nights. They did offer honey-wagon service for longer stays. Trash pick up at the site - recycle bags provided. Couldn't get satellite but the trees are very nice.

Very friendly staff. Well maintained grounds. Clean pool and cute little water play area. Disc golf course and other games available.

They have a couple sites with a fenced in hot tub, a few with large grass areas and wooden swings. Most have some kid of fire pit and the picnic tables are in good shape.

Dirt interior roads get a little dusty but are wide enough for easy site access. Code required at entrance but no pad high enough for access from your motorhome - getting out to key it in isn't convenient.

Park WiFi worked well for us.

Only reason I gave four stars was because it was slightly pricey. Clean & quiet.

Lovely 1 night stay. We had 5 bars verizon on our site and 2-3 bars elsewhere running a weboost.

If you are traveling up California's Hwy 101, this is the perfect spot north of San Francisco. RSPECIALLY if you have kids. Set outside the main drag, but close to Safeway and other convenient stores. Very pretty grounds with nearby open fields for dog play. Numerous features: pool, splash pad, miniature golf, even a park big screen for outdoor movies. This place is just itching to get back to normal. Friendly staff. The wifi is excellent and we had no problems getting DISH Satellite up.
