Klamath RV Park

We arrived here August 12 for 4 nights.  We have stayed here before and it is a good stop travelling along the US highway 101.  This is a small private park who also accepts RPI and most sites are parked on the grass.  Only 5 sites in the park are available to RPI members.  Although the campground hosts were watering the grass by hand during the day, the grass was mostly burnt out.  Sites were very narrow as I could not put out my slides and awnings and still be in our site.  We had a 100 foot long pull through site located in the second row though.  In the past we were assigned what they call waterfront sites, but now those sites are reserved for retail customers who pay $65 per night.  The river was low and no access to the river as a storm took out 20 acres of the property and the river bank was a 6 foot drop.  The back part of the park had full time residents living there.  We had full hook ups with 30 amp electric, water, sewer, and cable TV.  There was no over the air TV, cell reception, or internet.  There is no pool, spa, clubhouse other than a bathroom and showers and a pricey laundry room.  Bring your own food as the closest major shopping is one hour north (with construction) in Crescent City.  Strict rules don't allow electric heaters or your use of RV washers and dryers.  This park also charges a resort fee of $4 plus some taxes to RPI members and only takes cash or check.  I would like to point out that this is NOT a resort and a $4 resort fee is a 40 percent surcharge.  People always seem to be very friendly in this park including the campground host.  Very tight 180 degree turn into the park and if you miss it there is no turn around past that point.  We paid $14.50 per night and I rate this park P***.

We visited Crescent City one day and had a lovely dinner at a Cafe overlooking the Ocean.  Aggie had a huge dish of shrimp, scollops, and fish over a bed of pasta and I ordered some scollops.  Our meal came with clam chowder and we took most of Aggie's food home for a second dinner in the motorhome.  One day we took Buddy to the mouth of the Klamath river which is only 4 miles down the road.  We also cruised to a lookout on top of a hill where you could observe the coastline from a top of a cliff.  I had to include a picture of this custom motorcycle parked at one of the sites in our campground.  One camper observed a bear across the river and he swam across to our side.
