Glamping in the Redwoods: Cabins, Yurts and Tents Near Redwood National Park

Glamping in the Redwoods: Cabins, Yurts and Tents Near Redwood National Park

Glamping Near Redwood National Park: What Actually Exists

There is no hotel, cabin or yurt inside Redwood National and State Parks. What you are looking for sits in the towns that ring it: Klamath and Trinidad to the south, and Crescent City to the north. Each town has at least one confirmed operator running something other than a bare tent site, and all three put you a short to moderate drive from the Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center near Orick, the park's main southern gateway.

Klamath: Cabins in the Redwoods

Klamath sits at the mouth of the Klamath River. Mystic Forest RV Park, about five miles north of the town center, is the confirmed glamping option here: four cabins set among coastal redwood trees, plus four onsite RVs you can rent without bringing your own. It is the closest base of the three towns to several Redwood National Park trailheads on the south end of the park. A well known local campground, Kamp Klamath on Klamath Beach Road, is worth knowing about too, but it is standard RV and tent camping, not glamping: no canvas tents or cabins on site as of this write-up.

Trinidad: The Widest Range of Options

Trinidad is a small fishing town on a headland, about 19 miles and 30 minutes from the Kuchel Visitor Center, and it has two confirmed options. View Crest Lodge, four miles north of town, rents private family cottages on a hillside above the Pacific. Sylvan Harbor RV Camp & Cabins, also in Trinidad, offers simple cabins described as rustic and snug, plus a Vintage Trillium camper fitted out as a no-tent stay for guests who want something between a cabin and a tent. Trinidad also puts you close to Patricks Point State Park, a short detour if you want tide pools and a rocky coastline alongside the redwoods.

Crescent City: A Yurt on the North End

Crescent City is the gateway to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, home to some of the tallest trees in the system, and it is the furthest of the three from the Orick visitor center. The confirmed option here is Redwood Meadows RV Resort, on US-199 in Hiouchi just outside Crescent City, which has a secluded yurt with a kitchenette, picnic table and campfire ring, alongside separate cottages and tiny homes. If Jedediah Smith is the priority for your trip rather than the southern groves near Orick, this is the closer base.

A Different Redwood Park Entirely: Humboldt Redwoods

If a search brought you here because of the Avenue of the Giants, note that it runs through Humboldt Redwoods State Park near Weott and Garberville, a separate state park roughly 86 miles and about 2 hours south of the Kuchel Visitor Center by US-101, not part of Redwood National Park itself. It is a legitimate redwoods destination on its own, just a different one, and worth planning as a separate stop rather than a glamping base for Redwood National Park.

When to Go

The redwood coast stays mild and often foggy year round. Fog can roll in on a summer afternoon regardless of the forecast, which is part of what keeps the forest green, so pack layers whatever month you visit. Redwood National Park itself charges no entrance fee; a handful of day use areas inside the state park sections, including Fern Canyon, charge a separate vehicle fee.
