Dean Creek gets a bad rap because of the devastation of this sweet little community's economy.

No, the resort is not what it was before Prop64 but give the proprieters a break! These are locals trying to feed their families, not a multinational corporation. They can't exactly open another franchise until the economy improves.

I stayed here in 2022. I reserved my campsite online and was limited to a week's stay. I am in a minivan and could have booked a tent site, but I'm a boondocker and wanted FULL RV hookups to recharge my power banks (not enough sun for my solar in Cali), refill freshwater tanks, empty grey water, take a shower, etc.

The staff was friendly, professional, and nonjudgemental. The long term residents were respectful and their sites were tidy, attractive, and well cared for.

My dogs were accepted and I got to take a shower, use my laptop with their wifi, play video games all night long, and recharge my batteries.

The resort is conveniently located near Garberville and the less expensive shopping district in Redway. The kiddos can go play in the river without ever leaving the campsite, iirc, and though the rent may shock you, it is well worth it in light if Cali's notoriously exhorbitant petrol prices and not exactly undeserved reputation of being unfriendly to RVers.

I'm giving them five stars because they deserve a break. If they had more income, they could install the security cameras I would wish for and this resort could easily return to its former glory.

Have fun and enjoy SoHum!
