Mad River Rapids RV Park (Arcata, CA)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Mad River Arcata

After finishing up our trip visiting friends and family in the Bay Area, we headed north to Humboldt County to settle in for a while. On our way there we couldn’t resist a detour down the Avenue of the Giants to drive beneath the majestic redwoods.

Arriving in Humboldt we pulled into our home base for the next few months, Mad River Rapids RV Park in Arcata, CA. We were hoping to snag a monthly spot and while it took a few days, the owner was able to fit us in. Read on for our review of the park.

Bordertown RV Resort (Reno, NV)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Bordertown Reno

After a few days of exploring, and finishing up settling in, we hitched up and headed towards Nevada to spend a week with Maple’s brother and his two kids. As it turned out we we’re heading into Reno while the Street Vibrations motorcycle rally was going on and most of the RV parks in Reno/Sparks were all booked up.

Thanks to the GoodSam app however we found the highly rated Bordertown RV Resort in Bordertown, NV. That left us about 20 minutes outside of Reno which was close enough for our needs. Read on for our review of the park.

Rancheria RV Park (Hat Creek, CA)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Rancheria Hatcreek

After a few days at the Willow Creek golf course helping out with a friend’s wedding, we hitched up and headed east towards Nevada. Knowing we’d be passing through Lassen National Forest we scheduled a few days at the Rancheria RV Park, in Hat Creek, CA.

We still weren’t quite settled into the Airstream and hadn’t dumped our tanks yet, and after all the running around we really just wanted a few days to relax before heading to Reno. And since we both love Lassen so much, we knew we would have a great time exploring while we were there. Read on for our review of the park.

Emerald Forest RV Park (Trinidad, CA)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Emerald Forest Trinidad

After buying our new Airstream, we spent a couple of weeks shopping for the basic supplies we’d need to live in it full time. And we also cannibalized our camping gear as much as possible to save a few bucks. We only had two weeks to vacate the rental we were staying at so we just crammed everything in and headed out to the Humboldt County coast to set things up and figure out how to make it work.

We we’re going to a wedding in Willow Creek the following week, where we would be staying at the Golf Course, so we only needed a few nights in an RV Park. After looking at pictures on their website, we decided to spend those nights at the Emerald Forest RV Park in Trinidad, CA. We were mostly just going to be setting up and organizing the space, so why not do it someplace beautiful! Read on for our review of the park.

Redding Premier RV Resort (Redding, CA)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Redding Premier Resort

The morning we picked up our Airstream from Bay Area Airstream Adventures, we headed north for Humboldt County and stayed at our very first RV park. This was a brand new experience for us and we we’re excited!

We didn’t have any gear or supplies yet, with the exception of a few things we picked up at the dealership and at Camping World in Redding. It was my first time towing anything and neither of us felt brave enough to drive the windy CA299 in the dark. So we opened up the Good Sam app and found Redding Premier RV Resort.
