🌲 Happy 58th birthday, Redwood National Park! 🌲

On October 2, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the act creating Redwood National Park. It was the result of decades of hard work by conservationists who were determined to protect the last of the ancient coast redwoods for future generations.

Some history to celebrate today:
📜 Groups like the Save-the-Redwoods League had been protecting these forests since the 1920s, helping create the three state parks we still love: Jedediah Smith, Del Norte Coast, and Prairie Creek Redwoods.
🏞️ In 1978, the park nearly doubled in size to protect more of the Redwood Creek watershed.
🌍 In 1980, it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
🤝 Since 1994, the National Park Service and California State Parks have managed these lands together as Redwood National and State Parks.

The best way to celebrate? Get out among the giants. 🥾 Walk through Lady Bird Johnson Grove, named for the First Lady who helped champion the park. You can also wander the Coastal Trail or explore any of the groves right outside our door.

🐾 A quick reminder for our four-legged guests: dogs aren't permitted on trails in Redwood National and State Parks, so plan your pup's day accordingly.

Here's to 58 years of protecting some of the oldest and tallest living things on Earth. 💚

🌊 The Flood That Erased Klamath From the Map

Believe it or not, the town of Klamath you're camping in today isn't where the original town stood. In December 1964, a massive storm system sent the Klamath River to record heights in what's still called the "Christmas Flood of 1964" — a flood so severe that California's governor at the time said something like it might only happen once in a thousand years.

The flood didn't just damage old Klamath — it erased it. Homes, businesses, and the Douglas Memorial Bridge (a concrete arch bridge finished in 1926 that carried Highway 101 across the river) were swept away entirely. Klamath wasn't alone — several small North Coast communities were lost or badly damaged that same week.

The town was rebuilt on higher ground east of the highway — the same spot it sits on today. And the two golden bear statues that once guarded the entrance to the old bridge survived. They still stand at the original townsite on Klamath Beach Road, now a quiet roadside memorial to the town that used to be.

Next time you're driving Klamath Beach Road, it's worth the stop. 🐻

🐂 Meet Captain Courageous — Klamath's most legendary survivor.

Just up Klamath Mill Rd, bolted to a boulder beside a pair of weathered bear statues, sits a plaque with one of the North Coast's most unforgettable stories.

In December 1964, the Klamath River flooded catastrophically, devastating the town and sweeping away homes, bridges, and livestock. Among the animals lost to the rising water was a young steer named Bahamas, raised on a ranch in Klamath Glen. He was swept downriver and out to sea — but instead of being lost like so many others, he survived, clinging to floating debris through the night until fishermen spotted him alive amid the wreckage in Crescent City Harbor.

Rescued and renamed "Captain Courageous," he became a living symbol of hope for a community rebuilding from disaster. For almost twenty years, he lived out his days as a beloved local fixture — visited by neighbors and travelers alike — until his passing in 1983.

Today, a plaque placed by E Clampus Vitus in 1997 keeps his story alive for anyone who takes the short detour to find it.

It's a small stop, but a powerful reminder of the resilience woven into this stretch of river — the same spirit you'll feel all around you at basecamp. 🌲

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Klamath River RV Park! 🎉

Where the river meets the redwoods is about as good a place as any to spend the last big weekend of summer. Whether you're out for an evening stroll along the water, watching the light fade over the redwoods, or just relaxing at your site with family, we hope today is a great one.

A friendly reminder as the holiday winds down: if you're near the river or coast today, keep an eye on changing conditions — river currents and ocean waves can shift quickly out here. A little awareness goes a long way toward a safe and easy day.

Thank you to everyone who's made this such a great season so far. We've still got plenty of summer left before we close for the year on October 10, so there's time yet to soak up more of the Redwood Coast.

Wishing you a relaxing Labor Day! 🌲🌊

🦌 There's nothing quite like hearing a bull elk bugle through the redwoods. This time of year, the Roosevelt elk here on the North Coast are in the thick of rutting season — bulls carrying full racks, sparring for dominance, and calling out across the meadows to keep their herds together.
Roosevelt elk are the largest of the elk subspecies, and this stretch of coastline is one of the best places anywhere to spot them. Keep an eye out along the roadside meadows and forest edges as you make your way toward the park — herds tend to graze in open clearings in the early morning and evening hours.
A gentle reminder: these are wild animals, especially worked up this time of year. Enjoy the view from a respectful distance and stay in your vehicle or well back if you pull over to watch.

🌿 Just outside your door: Fern Canyon

There's a reason Fern Canyon is one of the most photographed spots on the Redwood Coast. Sword ferns and five-finger ferns blanket 50-foot canyon walls on both sides, with Home Creek running right through the middle. It's lush, quiet, and feels a little prehistoric (the canyon has appeared in a few films for exactly that reason).

A few things to know before you go:
🥾 The trail involves creek crossings — plan on wet feet or bring water shoes
🌧️ It's rainforest terrain, so it can be muddy and slick even on dry days
📍 Located in Redwood National and State Parks, north along the coast from the park
🎟️ A parking permit is required in season — check the National Park Service site for current details

Pack a light jacket, take your time, and look up — the fern walls go higher than you'd expect.
