A couple
of other RVers told me to check out the Crescent
City KOA when they heard I was on my way to the redwoods. They
said it was a very special location in itself, as well as being
convenient to Jedediah Smith State Park, one of our first destinations.
I
was not disappointed - this is no cookie cutter KOA!

This
was my home in the Redwoods - Site B1
I
really enjoyed looking directly into the forest down a shaded path
aptly called Mystery Woods Circle.

Imagine
having your very own private redwood forest as your backyard.
|
|
|
|
Some
of these sites directly in the forest have water and electric facilities,
but are not recommended for RVs over 25'.

This is the view looking out from the forest into the RV Park. |

And
let's not forget the cozy Kabins scattered throughout the grove.
This cute couple, Dan & Nicole, really enjoyed their stay, saying
"What could be better than waking up in the middle of the redwoods?"
I couldn't think of a thing!

2 cents: The
campground itself was great and the perfect homebase for exploring
the redwoods, but meeting the owners, Kevin and Joan Fallon,
lent another special dimension to my time here. Their enthusiasm
for what they're creating here was contageous. They took over
the park in June, 2005 and the projects they have in mind in
upgrades will keep the unique homey feel of the park while providing
all the modern conveniences we associate with KOA, including
complimentary wi-fi Internet connection. Whenever you visit
them, be sure to tell them Malia said hi! |

I
always love this kind of story. This
couple had a dream and they found a way to make it come true. Whenever
they took vacations from their former home in L.A., they would rent
RVs because they didn't like the confinement of hotels. They were
envious of people who managed to live and work in beautiful vacation
settings and wondered how it could be possible for them. It was
quite the story of synchronicity and serendipity that led them to
Jedediah Smith State Park at a time when this campground was up
for sale. I was particuarly impressed with Joan's attitude toward
her hostess duties: "It's like having a party 24 hours a day
with guests in my home -- and it's my job to make sure they have
a fantastic time while they're here!" I could tell she takes
the care of her guests very seriously when she said "This is
their vacation - lots of planning went into it and it's really important
that not one day be ruined or wasted." Leave it up to Joan
and you'll be well cared for during your stay here - I can testify
to that!
