Klamath

Spend 1–2 days in Klamath as a base for Redwood National Park; stay overnight at Historic Requa Inn or a local campground.

Klamath is a small town on the North Coast of California, just outside Redwood National Park. It offers easy bus links to the park and nearby attractions, a few lodging options, and a quiet coastal vibe. One full day covers the main sights; a second day allows a relaxed hike or a fishing adventure.
