About

Welcome to Railroad Park Resort, a unique camping experience nestled in the woods near Dunsmuir, CA. This place is a real gem, especially if you have a thing for trains. The campground offers a mix of tent sites, RV spots with full and partial hookups, and even cabins and cabooses for a quirky stay. Imagine sleeping in a caboose while the sound of Little Castle Creek lulls you to sleep—pretty cool, right?

The campground is well-maintained and clean, with friendly staff who are always ready to help. You’ll find amenities like showers, toilets, and a sanitary dump, making your stay comfortable. There’s also a market on-site for any last-minute supplies you might need. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.

One of the standout features here is the dining car restaurant. It’s not open every day, but when it is, it’s a must-visit. The food is great, and the experience of dining in a vintage train car is something you won’t forget. There’s also a pool and hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

Speaking of exploring, there’s plenty to do nearby. Hedge Creek Falls offers a short hike with beautiful views, and you’re close to Mount Shasta for more adventurous outings. The campground itself is surrounded by trees and has a peaceful, quiet vibe. If you’re lucky, you might snag a spot near the creek for some added tranquility.

Overall, Railroad Park Resort is a fantastic spot for a family getaway or a unique camping experience. Whether you’re into trains or just looking for a beautiful place to relax, this campground has something for everyone.

This place is great

We stayed here twice on a trip from central California to Washington. All of the staff was friendly and super helpful. The campsite was very clean and quiet. Beautiful scenery and easy to get to.

Many different accommodations

General: There are tent sites, partial hookups, and full hookup sites, as well as cabins and cabooses that can accommodate either couples or families. It was pouring when we were there, so we opted to stay in a caboose! There is also a dining car

Site Quality: The camping sites are nestled among the trees; some are pull-throughs and others are back-in (mostly the tent sites). Most of the sites appeared level, but not all of them (beware of Site 34). The pull-throughs in the center are less private (but I believe these are the ones with full hookups). The best sites in my opinion are the ones that back up to Little Castle Creek. Especially after a good rain, you can be lulled to sleep by the sound of the rushing creek!

Bathhouse: Keypad entry so I was not able to see the inside (we stayed in a caboose and therefore did not have entry). There are showers and also a very nice laundry facility.

Activities: There is a pool in season and also a hot tub that was open when we were there. It is covered but it was cold and rainy, so we didn’t try it out. There is a short hike at nearby Hedge Creek Falls and you are close to Mount Shasta.

We stayed here 25 years ago in a caboose with our daughters, and it was nice to see the place has been kept up nicely. We would definitely return and stay in the campground next time (weather permitting).

Great quiet place in the woods

We stayed two separate nights here and loved it. Staff was excellent. It was quiet and clean. We had to move during our first stay because we were two close to the brook with our small kiddos. Only downside was dumping. Both spots we had were uphill from our trailer which required a bit more work to drain. Amazing spot and would 100% stay here again.

If you’re into trains like our kids are - this is a hoot!

We were in spot 30 a huge pull thru that was tough to angle into and we’re only 30ft. But once in (went and turned around in the tent area) it was level and easy to use. I’d call it paved / hard pack forest.

Best part was earring in the dining car and exploring the train cars. What a beautiful place. A must stop and stay for any train lover or just for fun. Great location with views of the mountains. A real gem tucked away - no highway noise

Very nice stay

Nice campground. Clean bathrooms. Well maintained. Some great swimming holes on the river. Only thing to be ready for are the yellow jacket / bees things. Their are tons when it’s time to eat. The little bee traps do help. Overall the bees seem harmless but tough to explain that to a 5 yr old

Sweet little park

We were here a few nights after Memorial Day. The campground was quiet and well kept. My two year old LOVED all of the trains, the play area, lawn games, etc. we loved having functional full hookups and WiFi when needed. There is a lot to do in the area and we would like to come back. If the campground was full it would feel very tight, but it was mostly empty and very peaceful for our stay.

Wonderful weekend away!

Not far off i5 but you can’t hear traffic. Clean spots, clean bathrooms and new showers. We took the kids down to see the trains by the motel and my parents went to dinner at The Dinning Car restaurant! There’s lots to do and it’s just a beautiful spot to relax.

Camping at the base of Castle Crag

My family recently had our annual camping trip, with around 40 people at Railroad Park. The host Lonnie and Guy were so nice and helpful. They had the cleanest restrooms I’ve ever experienced at a campground! Bonus. Plus there is amazing hiking surrounding the camp ground. The PCT is so close! I highly recommend them.

Railroad Park Resort and Dining Cart

The RV Campground is beautiful and surrounded by trees and a creek that flows behind the main RV parking area. Check in is easy. We booked ⁷online and the RV was ready for us. They also allow after hour check ins. You just drive up to the office and grab your reservation ticket off a board next to the main door of the office. They have bathrooms, laundry facilities and showers for those who would like to use them. They also have a pool and hot tub for guest to use. The Dining Cart/restaurant is a jewel only issue is they're not open daily. On the days they are open it's only for Dinner so to get the full experience you can get the hours of operation on their website. The Campground is located near several waterfalls.

Wifi at our spot was weak. Also we have t-mobile and we did not have a signal on the campgrounds/resort, but as soon as you get on the I-5 signal picks back up.

Little Gem with whimsical charm

Stayed 1 night while traveling should have done 3. Best hook up site #13 due to privacy. Pretty trees and little creek for pups to splash around. The train cars are close by to visit via trail. It was quiet and very clean.

Did the Job

We stayed at the Railroad Park Resort near Dunsmuir, CA for 5 nights. It was fine, with a couple small issues.. The rest of the park might be wonderful - converted train cars and cabooses, cabins, and a small motel - but the rv portion sort of felt like the red-headed stepchild. I believe our fees were $280 for 5 nights. Full hook-ups, pull through site (many were back-in only) and zero privacy, although the rv park is in a pretty stand of very thinned trees at the far end of the RRP property. There is a teeny store with some basic supplies and snack foods, and ice and wood available for purchase, wifi advertised, as well as a swimming pool. The bathrooms are decent and include showers. We are a family that prefers a little more privacy away from the world, but this park was our only option as we didn't book until 3 weeks prior to our last minute trip to see family in Dunsmuir. Siskiyou County campgrounds are currently full to brimming, and people are lining up at 6am for the few fcfs sites at the FS campgrounds. Reservations are all booked out until the end of August at least.
We signed a list of rules when checking in to the RRPR, that include a strict "No marijuana use anywhere on RRP property", yet continually got wafting pot smoke from several other campsites. I complained once, and the young man at the store apologized and made a note about it. Also, the woman working in the store in the mornings and during the day was quite rude and snippy, and reiterated at least 4 times that campground guests were only to use the swimming pool down near the cabooses between 10am and 3pm - as if we weren't to meddle with their upscale guests in the train cars and cabins. It felt a bit awkward, but we did use the nice pool one day when we didn't go swimming in Lake Siskiyou.
Wifi was advertised and a log on with password provided, but we were unable to log on the entire time we were there.
There were many huge rv's including full sized busses that seemed to navigate the park just fine, and some tent sites around some of the edges.
All in all - it was not a fantastic experience, but was alright, and we met a few other wonderful campers which is always a neat experience.
Sorry - I didn't take any pictures, but there are some decent ones if Googled.

Cute “Hotel” and Campground

Great resort. Guests have the option of bringing their own RV, staying in a tent, or lodging in train cars that have been converted into hotel rooms. Large pool on site, along with a rustic restaurant with great steaks!
