Dean Creek gets a bad rap because of the devastation of this sweet little community's economy.No, the resort is not what it was before Prop64 but give the proprieters a break! These are locals trying to feed their families, not a multinational corporation. They can't exactly open another franchise until the economy improves.I stayed here in 2022. I reserved my campsite online and was limited to a week's stay. I am in a minivan and could have booked a tent site, but I'm a boondocker and wanted FULL RV hookups to recharge my power banks (not enough sun for my solar in Cali), refill freshwater tanks, empty grey water, take a shower, etc.The staff was friendly, professional, and nonjudgemental. The long term residents were respectful and their sites were tidy, attractive, and well cared for.My dogs were accepted and I got to take a shower, use my laptop with their wifi, play video games all night long, and recharge my batteries.The resort is conveniently located near Garberville and the less expensive shopping district in Redway. The kiddos can go play in the river without ever leaving the campsite, iirc, and though the rent may shock you, it is well worth it in light if Cali's notoriously exhorbitant petrol prices and not exactly undeserved reputation of being unfriendly to RVers.I'm giving them five stars because they deserve a break. If they had more income, they could install the security cameras I would wish for and this resort could easily return to its former glory.Have fun and enjoy SoHum!

We wanted a simple sleep and shower cabin to stay at while exploring Humbolt State Park. This place met our needs for simplicity and for being pet friendly for our <50lb dog (restriction on this location).The cabin, C1, had a nice kitchenette, hot water shower, and toilet. With temperatures dropping to high 30s it kept us comfortable through the night. We also enjoyed a campfire and some local wine from the Camp Store. I was also happy to find a laundromat here and got caught up on my cleaning.I look forward to using this location again with my tow behind camper.

Love this place!! Nice clean rooms super nice staff and the rooms are very quiet! The hot tub and pool were great and nice and clean!! Would definitely stay here again!! Great price compared to other motels around this area!! The mini golf was a lot of fun.Rooms: Nice rooms with microwave and refrigerator. Sliding glass doors lead out to patio with table and chairs.Safety: Never ever felt unsafe here.

Traveling in an RV, we stayed there overnight, the best back in spots were full of full time hillbillies with their junk piled up under and along side their old RVs. Cue fiddles.

Would give this place a ZERO. Don’t waste your money!!! Doing a cross country trip, had the most amazing experiences except here. This place was AWFUL!! Very rude lady checking us in who acted like we were bothering her by paying her for a spot. Once checked in, we were verbally accosted by a drunken, belligerent permanent resident of the community who used disgusting profanity to speak to my elderly father.Go anywhere besides here.

We had an RV and wanted to stay overnight. I called ahead and said we would be late and all was good. When we got there I called her and honestly she was rude and nasty. She gave us a site and a long the way another camper was outside waving his arms and was verbally abusive to my husband over the size of our RV and made disgusting comments about my husband's person parts. The campground is small and not being rude.....it was filled with tents full of people who just made more nasty comments. This is NOT a campground for family camping and if I could give it negative stars I would. BTW the water was dark brown and filled with some kind of gritty slimy stuff! Stay away!!!!!

If you’re looking for something that’s not your standard corporate hotel experience then this is a really lovely find. We booked it mostly because of the location and we’re surprised how welcoming and accommodating they were. We had a choice of rooms so we could figure out what worked best with the rollaway bed. Lisa, the manager, and her staff have clearly been working hard to renovate and raise the standards since they took over over a couple of years ago. There’s still more work to do, apparently, but the rooms are clean and comfortable and the (five) cats that roam the property are charming. This place has more amenities than you’d expect: a convenience store (with all the essentials including alcohol), laundry, mini-golf, a pool, sauna, mini-arcade with six or seven classic 80s-90s games and pinball. (We didn’t get to try them all.)

Lady (receptionist) is so mean and rude. Won’t come back to this space she was speaking bulls*** about us to another guest it makes everyone uncomfortable but she think she’s right. I’ll not recommend this place.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I haven't gone on vacation with family in years! And was finally able to get away from work. The paper they gave us said no more than FIVE people (kids under 12 were free) per camp site and no more than 3 tents. The first night here we had 3 tents and they told us to take it down so we did. The next day they said no more than 2 adults ( we had 4) and that we had to pay extra. Each day someone came and tried to charge us for things. The owner said that it was never allowed to have more than 2 adults but the paper they gave us said otherwise so it's so confusing. It just seems suspicious because at check in they were saying how dead they were this weekend then randomly they're tacking on extra fees.. besides the rude service everything is trashed. I felt so disgusted using the bathrooms. The pool was dirty and filthy. They probably never cleaned anything. The playground had trash everywhere. I wouldn't let my kids here at all! The river was the cleanest part of this place which is wild! The permanent residents in RVs have trash everywhere too. Very ghetto place. I would feel safer sleeping in my car literally ANYWHERE else. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

We read lots of reviews and a lot were bad but we needed a place to stay on our long camping trip both before our destination and on the way home. This place was great lots of stuff for the kids to do to keep them happy like a pool, free mini golf, an arcade room and a river to skip stones. We had a great time staff was super nice and we didn't have any problems at all. Would definitely recommend this place!!

Will charge you every step of the way regardless of how inclusive the camping package is, from using the pool to setting up a second tent. I don't recommend this campground for anything, except losing money. Hot tub looks like it hasn't been used in months even though they advertise It is. Stayed for 2 nights and they charged us over 200$ because of all the feesNoteworthy details: Untrustworthy establishment!
