Best Campgrounds near Castella, CA

Hosts were very nice! facilities were great !

We came into this campground on our second night of a cross country road trip. The owner Julie is awesome! Not only did she meet us in the driveway, she took us directly to the site, then helped us back in! This was all at 8:00pm!!! You didn't have time to experience the lake or any other recreation, but it is a wonderful Park with great staff and other campers. I do hope to return someday.

I’ve been coming to this campsite since I was a kid. I come back every year, and now that I’m 18, it’s still my favorite place in the world. Boating on the lake, sitting around the fire at night, the peace and quiet– it’s what makes me look forward to that special week every year. My friends say,“You’re obsessed with this place.” And it’s true. Interestingly, despite my love for nature, when I need to“de-stress,” I play Solar Smash– a game that gives you the power to destroy the entire planet! A perfect contrast, but extremely entertaining.

About 45-60 minutes from Redding. Easy to locate. Road was just scrapped so it was in good condition. Found perfect site to feet from the river. No slot of other sites

It’s a Passport America campground & so we tried it out. A creek, lots of trees, a quiet roadway and full hookups made for a nice break. There are long time campers/residents & the place is worn down but it has a nice peaceful presence. Flush toilets & showers (remember to have shower shoes), no litter laying about and even though it’s actually next to the I-5, no traffic noise because of the thick buffer of trees.

Very basic sites, on the river. Hosts are super helpful and friendly, great for a short time.

This campground has full hookups, a. WiFi that is good enough to stream and it’s not a parking lot, good for tents and rv’s

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.

Wow what a place, I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

The road although incredibly long and winding was well maintained and I’m pretty sure even a car could make it without issue.

The drive up was a whole experience in itself, reminded me of Last of The Mohicans, don’t slip!

I went during hunting season without realizing it, out of the 10 sites 7 where taken up by hunters, but I only saw one person my whole stay.

Another great stay September 19-22, 2024. Love this place! This time we enjoyed 9 holes of golf at the Weed Golf Club!

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.

Road dips down but rutted and I'm low clearance so can't tell what's down there. I'm in amthe o ly pullout off the side of the road before it Dios. Awesome view. Cannot hear water the other person mentioned but also haven't walked down the road yet. 3 or 4 rigs down close by. I am in a level spot but nowhere to walk except road from here. Again, great view.

This is an awesome campground with a single-lane road. I love visit it and join adventures in geometry dash lite. We managed to navigate it in an SUV with a teardrop trailer, but I wouldn't recommend towing anything longer. During our visit in May, the river flowed swiftly and cold, making it unsuitable for swimming or fishing. There is a well-maintained vault toilet on site, along with bear-proof recycling and trash receptacles. Limited to no service available for most of the journey. Remember, fire permits are mandatory.

We enjoyed our stay at Trailer Lane. Jay was very accommodating and took great care of us. The price was right also. We recommend this place highly. Very clean and well maintained. Bathroom/shower is old but clean with updated fixtures. We absolutely LOVED the animals onsite! Chickens, turkeys, quail and goats! Some of the chicken coops were old vintage trailers! 

We will return!
