Redcrest Resort is a small, well-maintained resort located right on the Avenue of the Giants in Redcrest, California. The town is very small, with a population of just over 120 people, so expect a quiet time, unless you are visiting during peak summer travel, when the resort can get a bit crowded.
The back-in RV sites at Redcrest Resort are small, the resort was built before large rigs with pop-outs. Only one of the two pull-through sites could barely accommodate my 32-foot bumper pull RV. The rest of the sites are better suited for small, vintage style rigs, or Smaller Motor Homes, Sprinter Vans, etc. The sites have Sewer, Water and 30 amp power only, so bring an adapter if needed. There is a single wash house but that's it. At $85 a night for a family of 4 during November (off season) we found it expensive.
However, if you have a small RV or are tent camping, Redcrest Resort is a cool and remote spot to camp and explore the redwood forest around you. The resort has a fire pit and it is located within walking distance of several redwood hiking trails.
Overall, I would recommend Redcrest Resort to campers and RVers who are looking for a quiet and scenic place to stay in the redwood forest. However, I would advise booking in advance, especially if you are visiting during peak summer travel.
