Visiting Kamp Klamath?  Try crabbing in Crescent City, CA

How about some free food!    If you're tired of paying way too much for half a crab in a highly average restaurant, why not just go get your own fresh Dungeness crab right out of the ocean? 

From Kamp Klamath, in Klamath, California, it's a beautiful 20 mile drive by the ocean and through the redwoods to Crescent City.  On our way to visit the lighthouse, ...

One of the most breathtaking places I've ever seen is a place called Fern Canyon.   If you have just one more day, this is a must see thing to do.

We shared the experience with Kamp Klamath owner, Aaron Funk and his friend, Carol.  He told us the history of Gold Bluff and Fern Canyon and how it relates to the early gold miners.  You can hear his explanation on RVdream.com in the video playlist marked Fern Canyon.

Kidtown is a terrific playground located in Beach Front Park by the ocean on the south end of Crescent City.  Among the huge structures are a pirate ship, a castle, and a pretend town complete with a general store and school.  There are also swings, slides, picnic tables and lots and lots of room to run.    Restrooms available.     From Kamp Klamath, head north on Hwy 101 to Crescent City.  Take ...

1. The Beach
Where the ocean meets the river.    Not only a beautiful sight, but a great place to catch Chinook salmon or red tail perch.



2. Trees of Mystery
The redwoods are so peaceful and strong.  Ride the gondola up the mountain over the top of the redwoods.  Fabulous gift shop and great fudge!  Say "hi" to Paul Bunyan and he'll talk back!  Handicap accessible  http://www.treesofmystery.net/

Jetboat Tour
This experience is not to be missed.  Captain Rich takes you to where the river meets the ocean to see sea lions and all kinds of different birds and then it's 25 miles up the Klamath River to see sights you can only access by boat.   You'll see a host of wildlife including bear, wild steer, and bald eagles.  You never know what you'll see.  Captain Rich knows the river like the back of his hand and has many ...

Just down the road and up the mountain a bit from Kamp Klamath, in Klamath, California is one of the most beautiful, secluded and unknown picnic areas that I've ever seen.  No RV's or trailers allowed past the turn off  point on Beach Road because the road turns into gravel, is narrow and has a 10% down hill grade.  You can walk down, or it's easy to take your tow vehicle.  We made the ride in our Roadtrek no proble...
