River's Edge RV Park

Little gem of a RV park/campground we stayed at last year for a few days. It's on the smaller side, so you don't deal with the noise of dozens of other guests. Our stay was blissfully noise-free. I think the only loud noise we heard at any point (other than pine cones...more on that below) was when the manager (Jeremy) mowed. This isn't a place you book if you want to be constantly entertained or where kids' activities are scheduled several hours each day. You book here when you want (or need) a break from hustle and bustle. Park is managed by Mikka and Jeremy. Generally friendly but like the rest of us sometimes they might not always be super sunny. Neither of them ever reached a point where they were rude or anything of the sort; more like we caught them in the middle of dealing with something frustrating which is understandable since it's the two of them taking care of everything at this campground/RV park, and they do a great job of it. The sites are clean and well maintained, as are the restrooms and laundry facilities. Any issues or concerns were promptly dealt with. Several people here were long-term residents and everyone we met was friendly. Access to the park is a single road which cuts way down on traffic. If you have pets, it's a safe area to take dogs for walks (they have to be on a leash). As a safety note, if you have young children with you, be aware that the Eel River is maybe a minute's walk away and the bank is out of site from the level of the camper/RV spots. There's also a row of pine trees along the camper/RV sites, and they drop some of the biggest pine cones I've ever seen! When the winds were high on one days of our short stay, it was a worry that a branch might come down on the camper or one of the mega pine cones would crack or break a window. It would be good if the person or company that actually owns the park bring in a tree company to do some preventative trimming as several of the trees had dead branches. Other than worry about a branch coming down on a particularly windy night and a few huge pine cones that thudded on the roof and woke us out of sleep (seriously - these cones were the size of those personal watermelons at the grocery store), the stay here was perfect. We will absolutely be back here when our travels bring us back to the area. The peace and quiet coupled with a beautiful river view was heaven.

Talk about God's Country! This RV Park is nestled in an old sawmill town area I the middle of the mighty Redwoods. Our spot looks directly at the bluff and the Eel River. The cost is higher than some but well worth it.

A hidden gem. We were looking for a place to spend a night on our west coast holiday. Rivers edge happened to be in the perfect location between two of our destination stops. It is just a couple of minutes off 101 but since its below the highway on the river bank you dont hear any highway noise. We woke up to lots of bird song and my wife said how nice it was to have so many birds here, I said the birds have been at all the campsites we stayed at but this one was the first that you can truly hear them. Nice easy walk to the river and well kept sites. Great reception by Mica and Jeremy and help backing into the site which I have not seen in decades. I wish our trip was not so set in stone on this leg or we would stay a few more days, its just so peaceful.

We stopped by for just an overnight stay. We were greeted with a smile and how can we help you? Luckily they had an open spot and we were shown to our site. The host noticed that we had a flat tire on our tow vehicle and quickly went back for his truck with an air compressor! He stood out in the pouring rain helping my husband get it pumped up so we could get to an auto parts store. SO helpful and friendly! Well maintained grounds, clean, and beautiful river view! We'll definitely be stopping by again when we are in the area.

Great place to stay. I travel for work for 13 weeks at a time and we are so grateful to have found this spot. The view is amazing. It is peaceful and quiet . The management is wonderful and stays on top of the landscaping. We really appreciate the fact that if you are not a registered visitor they are on it immediately! We have not had to worry about a thing being stolen or broken in to! I can not think of one bad thing to say! Lots of wildlife with nesting ospreys right across the river.
