Klamath is a good place to stay when visiting Redwood National Park. It's in just about the center of the park. The town has long been a favorite place for campers and RV owners to camp near the shoreline. Roads are often lined with RVs, parked for weekend activity. The year 2000 saw the Parks Service moving to eliminate the popular parking spots.
Tourists are angry, and the local business people are even angrier.
While there is still parking along the roads, the Park Service intends to eliminate it over the next few years. 101 west of town with 16 rooms in an historic building overlooking the Klamath River. Klamath attracts thousands of outdoor lovers each year and the town is well-supplied with places to camp. The state park campground is just north of town.
