Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort

We called ahead during off season and spoke to a young woman who said they had plenty of RV spaces and could accommodate our RV. So often parks don’t have staff on during winter season but the park was open and had a pull thru site for our 40 ft Motorhome and pull behind trailer. Well priced and had lots of cute decor around the park. Some people said it needed updating or maintenance; I agree it could use some prep and paint at the splash park and some of the equipment. Lots of room for us to walk our dogs without issues. The dump is upon exiting so it could be a problem if you are waiting to exit and others are dumping but not busy this time of year.

This was our first time visiting the Mendocino Redwoods. We took our trailer for 4 nights. We ended up staying in 27, we originally had 21 but they were able to accommodate us with a change. There was no shade in 21 during the day. I would love to see more sites have full hookups.

First, I will start with the campsite. 27 in by far the best in the area. I felt like it had the largest patio, best shade, and you were facing the cabins on the end cap so you didn't feel like someone was always looking in your site. There was only one cabin occupied while we were there. Unfortunately this year the yellowjackets were out of control and so that was the only downfall. GREAT VIEW of the mountains, we also had a lightning show on the last night. 27 is a full hookup site as well.

Activities: The activities were in full swing while we were there. The stay was 9/15-9/19 to give reference. The splash pad was active, the people who worked there would turn it on when we asked. The pool was perfect in my opinion, very clean, it was mid 80s and 90s during our stay. There also had a kid pool at 1.5 ft deep, it was probably a 10 by 10 pool. It was perfect for my kids. They also had a hottub.
There was an animal spot where there were two goats, two pigs, a few bunnies. Nice to see some sweet animals hanging around.
Next to the petting zoo was the tube area. It was decent size, I was kind of surprised by it. Kids spent hours in there. Great obstacle course for them.
Playgrounds were pretty run down and I wouldn't call one a playground. I would love to see more renovations in that aspect.
They had an 18 hole mini golf course, that was actually pretty hard lol. It is free when you stay, you go to the front desk to get balls and clubs. You just need to return by the end of the day. Great fun.
They have a pond for fishing, it's a decent size pond and the kids loved it. A short walk from the RV site, not even 5 minutes. They sell live worms and other accessories at the store.
In the back of the park there is an RC track. We used a small RC on it which was cool but the main attraction was my kids riding their bikes. It's great to have them do laps, with jumps and turns. Really good spot.
You can hike around the pond which is .5 mile loop, very steep in some areas. They do have a disc golf course which leads you around the loop. I believe it's 18 holes but most holes are not maintained anymore and some paths to the holes are not maintained. There are still a good amount of holes if you wanted to.

Things to do nearby: The skunk train does operate a few times a week and it does have holiday themes depending on the time you go. The skunk train DOES pick up in the campsite which is super cool. The kids loved watching it, however it's expensive of around $70 per person. Willits is the nearby city, plenty of shops to get things for you camping trip if you need.

Overall: We loved this place. It was clean, the activities were so much fun for the kids. The sites were clean and spacious, if you got the right one! 27 is the best! The people who worked there were super nice and kept up on upkeep on buildings/trash/bathrooms. We will be going back, we really enjoyed our stay. I do wish some of the "arcades" were open, there were a handful of buildings that were locked up, like arcades and other activates. We didn't look much into it with our kids being young. I would recommend this place to anyone. Overall 4.5/5 Stars.

I'm leaving a 3 star review because of the horrible bee issue. It's not just one or 2 sites it's all of the campsites. You cannot eat or cook outside because you get swarmed by meat bees/ yellow jackets. And there nothing you can do about it. We put up be traps which we caught a lot but it didn't really matter there are to many. Another problem is the shower facilities. There were 3 showers only 1 had hot water, weird, right? and the water pressure was terrible. There was no place to set your stuff down on.
The staff was really nice and there's a lot of things to do with the kids. Nice pool, hot tub and kids swimming pool, I like that. But because you can't cook or eat outside it sucked.

We came camping here for the second time this last week. The first time being about 5 years ago(different owners) the campground was so clean and well managed! We had a few small hiccups at our site and the staff were amazing and on top of helping where they could! Every staff member we came across was so nice and helpful! My kids were so excited to play in the splash pad that was not open last time we came! They also loved seeing the animals! We will definitely be back! Great family camp site!

Firstly reading reviews I can see I wasnt the first to have issues with the owner, who then turns it around on the customer and then says “ you can’t come back” who would want to come back and give any of our money to your pocket?? Your husband should put you in check because you run this place into the ground. DO NOT stay at this campground. The manager of this place is the perfect picture of a Karen. Upon checking out this crazy unhinged Karen jumps in fromt of my moving vehicle ( going 8 miles an hr ) yelling at my car like a complete phyco!! She then proceeded to follow my husband into the office where he was trying to retun the key threating to call the police and have us banned because her feelings were hurt because she got flipped off. If I was going to fast for her liking a smile and a signel to slow down would of gone a long way. My family and I travel all over and have NEVER experienced a full blown Karen like this woman. Its a shame because the staff at the counter were the sweetest girls ever. If that is their boss, ladies you dont get paid enough! The office stuff is extremely overpriced. I drove the same speed all night with kids running all over with no issues. This lady should not be working with the public. The bed was horrible. Find another place to camp. We spent Hundreds at this place and my sons first camping trip to have his entire experience destroyed by someome who is obviously so unhappy with herself and her life that she has to behave like this. Dont stay there ! And if this lady is not the owner the owner should let her go. If she is the owner of the place is doomed. EDITED
. I viewed my dashcam today which recorded me at 8 miles and also recorded this interaction which Im looking into getting uploaded as this experience was absolutely uncalled for and I should be issued a refund for the way this woman approached us.
