For Emerald Forest Of Trinidad: This is a nice RV park that also offers small cabins for rent. The RV spaces are among tall redwood trees and the name Emerald Forest rings true as you open your eyes and senses to the surroundings. There is a sense of “rustic” based on the hand painted signs, numerous fish cleaning stations, and the wooden style of the exterior of the camp buildings. It made me feel like I was in my own version of Tom Sawyer every time we were outside. There are two different bath houses. The one at the front of the park has 3 unisex bathroom/showers and is quaintly wrapped around a Redwood tree. These units are very nicely styled on the interior and give a spa like experience when you enter them. The showers were hot and had steady water pressure. These were very popular and on occasion, we had to wait for our chance to use them. The restroom/shower building in the back had a more dated feel. There was also a community room that had an accessible restroom/shower that appeared more dated than the one we used in the front of the camp. The campground has two “green spaces”. One is among the tent camping area and provided a nice soft grass for gathering and enjoying the company of other campers. The other green space was in the middle of the cabins and had a nice gazebo along with a play area for the children. We saw families enjoying time together on several of our walks through with the dogs. A very unique feature for the children and the young at heart that we saw was a video Arcade that had 2 old pinball machines and a couple of older Arcade games. The campground has several trash points throughout which was a very nice feature for those of us that have dogs along. The camp store as well as the laundromat are quite small for the number of campers they are able to entertain at this campground. The laundromat is in a small building nestled into the rental cabin area and have 2 washers (2.00 for 35 minutes) and 2 dryers (2.00 for 60 minutes). It was nice to have everything dry in one dryer cycle! The camp had a lot of tent campers along with RVs and the rental cabins. There was a nice loop around the campground that provided a .46 mile walk workout on our app each time we took the dogs for a walk. There is a dog park but we only used it one time as I noticed there were quite a few vines that had thick thorns that meandered into the dog park. I was nervous about the dogs curiosity ending up with thorn issues. The small town of Trinidad is very close and has a quaint grocery store called Murphy’s that we were able to pick up staples and a nice meat selection for a small community store. We enjoyed walking the beach in Trinidad and found Seascape Restaurant to have a very nice view and tasty fish-n-chips. There is a very nice cove by the restaurant where the water was calm and some neat tide pools to see crabs and small fish. We also stopped for wine tasting at Moonstone Crossing Winery and picked up several bottles. We stayed here in our 22 Ft Airstream and enjoyed our stay. For those with slide-outs, many sites might be tight or may not fit your needs as not all sites are wide enough for them. Our major complaint was the Wi-Fi was very weak and the campground Direct TV had multiple issues and the service was disrupted during our stay. AT&T cell coverage was not available for us inside the camp but as soon as we exited the property, our coverage was fine. We stayed here for several days while we explored the many wonders of the Redwood National and State Parks which is about 22 miles north of this park.

For Emerald Forest Of Trinidad: You are amongst the redwoods and there is a nice dog park. However, when you consider the bathrooms, think junior high camp. Our site was small. There is dust everywhere. We didn't even feel we could eat a single meal outside. Would not stay here again.

For Emerald Forest Of Trinidad: Ended up camping here for a couple nights after realizing all the state park campgrounds in the area were full. It worked out great... clean bathrooms, laundry and showers. Camping right next to large redwood trees. Internet didn't reach our campsite but had a strong Verizon connection. It's also close to Trinidad which had some great restaurants and a good grocery store. Fairly busy but would totally stay again.

For Emerald Forest Of Trinidad: The review from 2013 is accurate except that there is no longer a laundromat in Trinidad. I used theirs which has 2 washers ($2.00 for about 35 min) and 2 dryers ($2:00 for an hour). You are under the Redwoods and our spot didn't get any sun. It's a lovely place and was a good base camp for a few nights to explore the area. We did hear the cars on 101. Trinidad has a great little grocery store-Murphy's-that had a lot of the organic food I like.

For Emerald Forest Of Trinidad: This is a nice older and very rustic RV park that also offers small cabins for rent. The RV spaces are among tall redwood trees and if it wasn't so close to Hwy 101 one would think you were in a redwood forest (yes you can hear the traffic). The store and the laundromat is quite small but Trinidad is very close and has both. We stayed here in our 36' 5th wheel and enjoyed our stay, just make sure they know if you have slide-outs as not all pull throughs are wide enough for them. Also the Wi-Fi was very weak. I would have given them 4 stars if it weren't for the 2 downsides mentioned above.

For Emerald Forest Of Trinidad: We arrived late and left early, but glad we didn't stay longer. Site was NOT level and the most level area put the power on the wrong side. Dumpy feel to the place. Was fine for one night.
