This is a superbly scenic part of northern California, within easy reach of the coastal King Range National Conservation Area and the famed Humboldt Redwoods State Park. There is a small choice of appealing accommodation options in the area, including self-catering spots and charming country inns fit for a range of tastes and budgets. The best places to stay in Garberville are surrounded by natural beauty and perfect for exploring.

Most travellers are drawn to Garberville — and Humboldt Country more broadly — by the imposing forests which dominate the region. Drive slightly north of town to admire the 30-mile Avenue of the Giants, or head south to the beautiful Richardson Grove State Park. Hike, cycle, horse ride and camp amidst marvellously imposing trees; or take guided wildlife and nature tours, which allow guests of all ages an insight into these age-old ecosystems. The area’s history is detailed in quirky One Log House, whilst tours of the architect-designed Julia Morgan Redwood Grove offer an insight into the estate’s heritage and restoration efforts. The Redwood Sky Walk is another highlight.

Garberville itself is quirky and tranquil, and well worth exploring. You’ll find further eateries, shops and entertainment in the small towns of Eureka, Ferndale and Trinidad. Kick back at one of the best places to stay in Garberville and soak up the magic of this unique wilderness in style!
