AtRivers Edge RV Campground – Brookings, OR

The trip on Highway 101 from Giant Redwoods RV to our next stop, AtRivers Edge RV Campground, took about 4.5 hours – 2 hours longer than expected.

NEXT YEAR’S CAMPSITE

We’re hoping to book Site 127 for the month of July 2027.

TOILET EMERGENCY !!!

At about 8 am this morning (Friday) our toilet’s “flapper” broke. So our original 25-year-old Dometic toilet could no longer be flushed. Kaput.

This, of course, caused no small amount of consternation for us. A night time bathroom visit would mean a trip to the campground’s loo. No thanks.

However, after a phone call to a local RV repair shop I found out that an RV toilet could be had in Crescent City, CA ACE Hardware about 20 miles away.

HAPPY ENDING

Besides having replaced a broken toilet in about 4 hours, the day ended by stumbling upon a lakefront festival on our way to a restaurant . . .

Giant Redwoods RV – Myers Flat

FIRST, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE TRIP TO MYERS FLAT

SECOND, THE GHETTO

The last 1/2 mile into Giant Redwoods RV is a trash heap . . .

It may help to know that this area has a 20% unemployment rate and a crime rate that’s greater than 90% of the rest of the country.

THIRD, THE CAMPGROUND

Once you’re past the ghetto, the campground is a very pleasant sight . . .

AVENUE OF THE GIANTS

One of the roads to the local market is called the Avenue of the Giants which is part of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

Petaluma & Manchester – Two KOAs

We spent two days at each of these KOAs on our journey up Highway 1.

SAN FRANCISCO / PETALUMA KOA

Surrounded by eucalyptus trees . . .

This KOA was also surrounded by rocks . . .

The bumper damage shown above was mostly cosmetic and was “fixed” with $30 of bolts and wire from a local hardware store.

MANCHESTER KOA

Half Moon Bay

After leaving Costanoa, we arrived for a 3-day stay at Pelican Point RV Park outside Half Moon Bay.

Our campsite was ho-hum as we were forced to use extra long sewer, water, and electric hookups in order to see the ocean (and the golf course in between) . . .

However, the ocean was a short walk away . . .

MIRAMAR BEACH RESTAURANT

The dining highpoint of our stay was a visit to the Miramar Beach Restaurant outside Half Moon Bay.

GOLDEN GATE VIA DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO

After leaving Pelican Point RV Park, we drove north along Highway 1 (beautiful) and headed for our next campground in Petaluma . . .

Costanoa

We arrived at Costanoa on Thursday, June 18th, and stayed three days. Very impressive campground, especially for kids who really made the park alive.

Several sites offer an ocean view, but our view was blocked by other RVs. However, there are several trails that lead to the ocean.

LANDSCAPING

We have never stayed at a campground that was more landscaped and attended to . . .

CAMPSITE TYPES

Besides the typical RV back in and pull through sites, there were dedicated areas for tent campers as well as glampers who just want a room . . .
