I have frequented this RV campground several times over many years. It is sad to see it becoming run down. The once paved interior roads are now barely discernable dirt paths. They also have a fee for locking in your chosen campground site for an additional $35 fee?!?!? Once you have waited for a specific site/s to become available to reserve, under what circumstances would they deem it reasonable to move you to another site without your consent? I luckily did not (will not) pay the additional fee, and 90% of the campground was vacant the week I was there. That guaranteed reservation fee is just a scam to get more money out of you. The costs of the sites are not cheap to begin with.
Traveler
This was a perfect campsite. Came in late but everybody was eager and happy to help out. Met the hosts who took their time and explained about the park.
Located only 10 minutes from Lassen and by the road and still an rv spot in the forest. Very nice.
An upper class restaurant and a bar so something for everyone.
Very recommandable
Guide
Well maintained and clean park. Actually has grass, not all gravel. Sites level. Nice pool and laundry room. One night stay and arrived late so did self check in...no password for bathrooms were given, so asked a neighbor for a password. One of the restrooms was shut down for repairs. Too pricy.
TravelerLarge space with tons of camp sites. I took camp spot 28 and had plenty of space behind me and around me. Tons of rules here, but can tell the camp ground is well maintained and nothing unreasonable. Friendly staff, shoutout to Fernanda 🤙🏽

My family and I were recently evacuated from my home due to a wildfire. We are fortunate enough to have an RV and were able to get to an evacuation area. After staying a few days in the evacuation zone, we needed to refill our water and empty our tanks so I visited Boulder Creek.
I offered to pay for some water and for use of their dump station. I was immediately met with the following statement by their front desk employee: “It’s 20 bucks to dump and I don’t do water fills.”
I’ve met some of the kindest and most gracious people during this incident, but I was disgusted as I walked out and noticed the freshly watered little planters full of flowers and the lack of humanity or even an attempt at kindness shown by Boulder Creek’s employees.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Redding to find somewhere else.

I started my journey up at Shasta lake, but was driven out by bees. I sought several other locations but decided Trinity was a worthwhile shot. I quickly made an online reservation, paid the holding fee, got there 4 hours early because I needed to just land instead of driving aimlessly, and the staff was so accommodating! They allowed me to stay in the parking lot while my site was being prepared, and they even let me in an hour and half earlier than check in! My spot was easy and accessible, close to bathrooms and showers, near the front store which had everything I needed, including coffee, a short walk to the lake, and a view of stars you don’t see very often. I came for solitude, but found comfort in neighbors who have a mutual love and respect for these great outdoors. I even shared a meal with my neighbor! This is an incredible place and very well maintained grounds. Staff are driving around quite literally into the night hours keeping things clean. Thanks Trinity KAO Holiday! I will be seeing you again!
LegendVery large park. Does not look like any money has been invested in a long time. Lots of amenities but poor condition. 3 star because of full hookups. Worst marked loops ever.
Guide
Well managed KOA.
Traveler
This was day one of a 20 day cruise! We were more than happy to escape the 110’ temps down in the valley. The campground was cramped as it was the 4th of July holiday. Sites are really packed together!
The micro-canal that runs through it was great for our lab. He just loved tramping in and out. The nights were cool - almost chilly.
Of note: the water is great! Pure and cold. However, it is high pressure. It exploded our water hose! After that we learned to place our pressure regulator valve right on the faucet. Then attach the hose and filter.
We enjoyed the pizza and beer at the little micro-brewery at the entrance to the park. They are no longer brewing their own beer and they hope to sell the place soon. Pizza was excellent.
A great place for kids, bikes, and dogs.
Best advice: book this at least 2 months in advance
ScoutWe loved our stay. We felt safe and it’s probably one of the most cleanest campground and facilities I’ve ever been to. Clean bathrooms, showers, zero trash around. All around a great visit. Perfect spot if you are traveling with a pet. Highly recommend.
TravelerI was warned in advance by several other friends who’ve been here before not to go because the owners can be real jerks. I should have listened. The thing you should be most aware of is that no matter what anyone says, their response will always be: We didn’t do anything because you didn’t tell us about anything and if you told us about it, we would take care of it, we will fix it. You can see that on the reviews when they respond. My answer: BULL. No one wants to have a conversation with them because they are difficult people. The husband owner is a sneak, who only wants to film your“violations” to use against you, if needed later. In my case, filming me while he woke me up in my trailer early in the morning. The wife is a confrontational Gaslighter, who will bounce up onto you, get in your face, put her hands in your face and keep elevating her voice until you go away. Then, they can always use all the recorded footage of you as retribution. Go look at their YouTube channel. They’re openly doing this to people that disagree with them. You can see they actually get off on having the confrontation, recording it,(of course not recording THEIR part of the conversations, the part that got people pissed off, just the part where they have now pissed somebody else off) and then they’ll post it in violation of everyone’s privacy. I own up to my mistake but am not happy with how it was handled, and there’s no way I’m taking it up with them because I figure my being filmed while I wake up will end up on the Internet. My issue is that I brought one mini trailer and one teardrop trailer in a spot(together they’re 26 feet) where Class A and 40ft 5th wheels go. Logically, I’m using less space and less electricity(120 v plugged into our bigger trailer who is plugged into the park) no water, and only have 2 people(total) in site as opposed to the 10 people in the 38 ft trailer next to us, or the six guys with three cars and a boat trailer next to us, or the class 40 ft class a with an enclosed utility trailer that is bigger than my teardrop, but I was sleeping in my extra tow(hence the invader’s spycam to catch me sleeping). So, instead of talking to us about it, they just charged us for an extra site. The gaslighting wife said she emailed me. No she didn’t. She billed me the extra space(without my consent) and her system sent me an invoice, which took you to a site for the terms and conditions. But I’m not checking my email because I’m camping and it looked like the normal invoice I would’ve gotten anyway for the one site…so we don’t find any of this out until after noon—the cutoff to be non refundable. Keep in mind these owners are camping abut 20 feet from me. Why didn’t they just come over and talk to us? If they had, we would have said we disagreed but understood and packed up and leave instead of getting charged two sites again for the night. Instead, they let their office person tell this after 12, and we were past the refund cut off. While I support a business owner’s right to enforce their rules, even if only against us, It should have been discussed with us face-to-face. I mean, if you’re willing to pound on someone’s trailer before they’ve woken up in the morning, and film them in bed as they wake up to open their door, then you know where we are and you know how to get our attention. They took our choice away. They took our privacy away. And they paint themselves as the good guy on these reviews and on their YouTube channel where they are openly enjoying kicking people out of their park. Otherwise, it was an ugly park. Looks nice upfront, but the back sites are horrible. I got burned with scalding water trying to get water for my dog. I got splinters from these god-awful looking tables. There’s a pile of debris right behind us. They run heavy machinery all day. God knows what they’re doing with all the footage they’ve illegally collected over the years. Note to owners: YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO POST MY IMAGE OR LIKENESS ONLINE.
ScoutThe only reason i did not give this a 5 star is the outdated information and no notifications posted of events or schedules. The don't have a schedule for the theater, it's just random and at the employees discretion from my understanding. At the splash zone the paperwork was outdated, and had rules for a dock that doesn't exist. The shower code didn't work. They advertise a shower near the day use area and there isn't.
ScoutGreat campsite. Nicely laid out, lovely landscaping, great amenities (including a small gym with free weights), super clean and functional bathrooms. Staff very pleasant and helpful.
Ranger
The campground is fairly nice. No functional bear lockers (camp host said there haven’t been bears here in over 9 years). The bathrooms (flush toilets) were clean. Weirdly, most of the campsites were vacant, but the online reservations showed that most of the sites were booked. We had a large noisy group next to us the first night. Otherwise it was quiet. The trail to the falls (Falls Loop Trail) was closed for repairs, which we knew when we booked. Not the nicest place we’ve been but not the worst. Probably won’t stay there again.
Guide
Beautiful shaded spots, first come, no reservations. Self pay kiosk, not very many spots. You can park 1-2 vehicles or very small camper.
Traveler
Your mileage may vary. I was looking for a primitive campsite that was quiet and secluded. This fit the bill 100%. I hammock camp, using a stand when trees aren't available, and I am completely self contained. That being said, these sites are equipped with a pit toilet, fire rings, picnic tables, and a food locker to deter the bears. I put my food in the locker, and I'm very glad I did. About 3am something woke me up sniffing around my hammock. I was not able to see it without moving, but it bumped me and was large enough to make the hammock sway. So, be prepared there is wildlife out there.
GuideThis camp grounds was peaceful and beautiful.
Most site were very level. I stayed in #49. It was perfectly shaded. The staff is friendly, the amenities are clean.
Verizon - no coverage. I had to go to their public wifi at their visitor center.
This park has a great Dump site, multiple stations easy in/out. Also has fresh water filling station

Very nice campground
ScoutWe just stayed in October 2023 and had the most peaceful time we could imagine. Very quiet, not too crowded this time of year, and absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to come in the spring / early summer.
Legend
Nice spot near the NP. Level spot, nice clean bath and shower area. Got a nice hot shower, thank you!
We stumbled across it when all the campgrounds in the national forest and national park for closed for the season and what a nice surprise. They had a little grocery store with ice cream..we had some ice cream. It was delicious.
They had the cutest little resort with little cabins, yurts and spots for a camper or big RV. They had a volleyball court, cornhole and a basketball area. Great little spot! We would absolutely come back. Internet on my phone was hit or miss outside. They offered internet for a cheap price. $1.95 a day. 12 minute drive to Park entrance. Otherwise, you are in the middle of nowhere. 20 minutes to a grocery store. Beautiful spot!
GuideWe highly recommend this campground as they have all the amenities…a general store, boat rental, cabin rental, activities for the kiddos, a dog park and pub. Water, toilets and showers are readily available, though a bit in need of a good coat of paint and showers need cleaning/updating .
Traveler
Stayed 2 nights, August 17 and 18 in B22, Loop B. This is a smaller campground that contains 2 Loops, A & B. We could see a bit of the lake from our site through the trees. No hookups although drinking water is offered as well as restrooms. Campgrounds are well maintained with bear lockers and rv sites ample. Road into the park as well as rv sites can accommodate big rigs. Generator hours are a bit odd although the only time we needed it was briefly in the morning to fix meals. Clouds drifted in about 2:00 p.m. each day with some sprinkles for about 1/2 hour keeping temps cool. Wonderful stay! Definitely would come back - picked out our preferred site already!
Traveler
Overall we had a nice time! The sites are first come, first serve and it was $18/night. We came on Fri 7/28 at 6pm and there were still sites available. We found fire wood there around the campsite. The bathrooms were portable bathrooms. The regular vault toilets were locked. There were people in golf carts making sure you paid. It was very quiet but you can occasionally hear cars from the highway. Our site was pretty big but has limited parking to one maybe two cars. Would definitely stay here again!
Traveler
Showers ($1 bills only), fire pits, and FCFS sites, as well as a friendly campground host. Beautiful spot right on the lake. Mosquitos and bees so bring bug spray.
Scout
This place has the tightest spots ever! Feel like a sardine. It’s pretty but would never spend $80 to smash in with other campers!
ScoutMid-July, 114 degrees and their pool is closed!!! At $90+ per night expect better. Staying elsewhere next time in Redding.
GuideThis campground was well maintained and the sites were large. Ample access to water spigots throughout the sites. Bathrooms were standard with flush toilets. A short walk to the falls made it very accessible. Would recommend driving to the lake due to the length of the walk and elevation to return back. Not much else to do in the area. There is a campground store where they also sell hot food and overpriced supplies if needed.
