Elk Meadow Cabins

North Coast & Redwoods


These spotless and bright cabins with equipped kitchens and all the mod-cons are in a perfect mid-parks location – they're great if you're traveling in a group and the most comfy choice even if you're not. Expect to see elk on the lawn in the mornings. Cabins sleep six to eight people and there's an additional $65 cleaning fee.

Redwood Adventures operates out of here, with guided tours and mountain bike rentals.
