One of the most charming stops on the Redwood Coast just updated its schedule for June. 🏠
Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City is open for tours this month — a real working lighthouse you can actually walk out to at low tide. The schedule varies by day, so here's what to know before you go:
🗓️ June Tour Hours:

Sundays: Closed (except June 1 — open 10–3, and June 21 — open 10–2)
Mondays: Closed most weeks
Tues–Sat: Generally open mornings through early afternoon, hours vary by day

Best bet is to check the current schedule before heading out — tides affect access and hours can shift. The lighthouse sits on a small island just offshore, reachable on foot when the tide is out. Worth every step.

Taco Tuesday just got a reason to drive to Crescent City. 🌮
Toreros Mexican Restaurant & Lounge is serving up tacos from 5:30–8:30 PM tomorrow night — birria, carne asada, and pork carnitas at $3.50 each, or shrimp, ceviche, and tostada at $4.50. Fresh lime, premium tequila, and a full margarita menu to wash it all down.
Toreros has been a Crescent City staple since 1993, and Taco Tuesday is the reason why. A great excuse to head into town after a day on the trails.

📍 Klamath River RV Park — your base camp for redwood country adventures.

Early evening on the Klamath.
Two bald eagles on the bank downriver, tearing apart a fresh catch. A handful of turkey vultures nearby — patient, watchful — waiting for whatever got left behind.
This is why you slow down. This is why you look. The Klamath River corridor has been feeding eagles — and the people who call this place home — for thousands of years. The Yurok, whose ancestral homeland runs along this river, have always understood that if you pay attention, the natural world will show you something real.
Tonight it showed us the food chain, live and unfiltered.

🦭 Where the Klamath River meets the Pacific, the wildlife show is always on.
The estuary at the mouth of the Klamath is one of those places that rewards anyone who takes the time to stop and look around. Harbor seals haul out on the sand just where the river spills into the ocean — on a good day you'll spot dozens of them sunbathing, jostling for position, and diving into the current to fish. Steller sea lions make seasonal appearances too.
Look up and you've got bald eagles, osprey, and peregrine falcons working the sky year-round. Watch long enough and you'll likely catch an osprey dropping down to sn**ch a fish right out of the water. The river also draws grebes, loons, herons, shorebirds, and waterfowl — serious birders, bring your binoculars.
Below the surface, the Klamath runs deep with chinook and coho salmon, steelhead, coastal cutthroat trout, and even sturgeon. It's been a lifeline for the Yurok people for thousands of years — and one look at this place tells you exactly why.
Access the mouth via the end of Klamath Beach Road. No RVs or trailers — passenger vehicles only.
📍 Mouth of the Klamath River — Klamath Beach Rd, Klamath, CA

🦅 Something remarkable is happening right here in Yurok Country.
California condors — called prey-go-neesh in the Yurok language — are flying free in the redwoods just outside your door. The Yurok Tribe's Northern California Condor Restoration Program reintroduced condors to this region in 2022, and 23 now live in the wild within Yurok ancestral territory.
This spring, the program hit a milestone: a free-flying pair nested for the first time in more than 100 years, with a female laying an egg inside the cavity of an old-growth redwood in the Redwood Creek drainage. The first egg appears to have been unsuccessful — not unusual for first-time condor parents — but biologists remain hopeful the pair will try again, and note that success rates climb significantly with each attempt.
With a goal of establishing a self-sustaining flock, the program plans to release at least one new group of birds every summer for at least 20 years. These skies are only going to get more interesting.
Keep your eyes up when you're out on the trails. You just might spot one.

🌿 Two exits north of the park, there's a stop worth making.
The Yurok Country Visitor Center sits right in downtown Klamath, and it's one of the best first stops you can make before heading into the redwoods. Exhibits bring the Yurok Tribe's history and traditions to life, and the shop carries handmade items by local Native American artisans. NativeAmerica
The Yurok (Oohl) are California's largest Native American Tribe, with a history along the Klamath River that goes back thousands of years — and the visitor center is a genuine window into that story. It's a small stop that adds a lot of meaning to the rest of your time here. VisitYurokCountry
While you're there, ask about canoe tours and jet boat excursions on the Klamath River — both are bookable through the center and are unlike anything else in the area.
📍 101 Klamath Blvd., Klamath, CA — 2 exits north of the park

We've got a neighbor. 🐻
A black bear has been spotted on the property — behind a camp worker's site and on the owner's patio — and he's not shy. He's been coming out during the day, which means everyone needs to be on alert right now.
A few things to keep in mind while you're staying with us:
🍕 Secure your food. Don't leave anything out — coolers, pet food, snacks, trash. Bears have an incredible sense of smell and will investigate anything that smells interesting.
🐕 Watch your pets. Keep animals on leash and be aware of your surroundings, especially in the tree line. This applies at all hours, not just after dark.
👀 Stay aware. If you see the bear, give him space and let us know. Do not approach, feed, or attempt to interact with him.
He's a beautiful animal and a reminder that we're guests in his home too — but let's all be smart about it.

Rumiano Cheese -- Crescent City
🧀 The best cheese you've probably never heard of -- made right here in Del Norte County. Rumiano Cheese has been handcrafting cheese in Crescent City since 1919, making it one of the oldest family-owned cheese companies in California. Their organic cheeses are the stuff of local legend -- you'll find them on menus all over the region, including SeaQuake Brewing where their famous fried cheese curds are a must-order. Stop by and stock up for your campsite -- there's nothing better than good local cheese, crackers, and a river view at golden hour. 🛍️ About 20 minutes north in Crescent City
