Olive Pit Dispersed Lot features a small fenced dog potty area with provided waste bags for overnight travelers. This free parking area behind the Olive Pit store welcomes RVs and campers with pets, providing a convenient overnight stop along I-5. Dogs can stretch their legs in the designated pet relief area, though some campers note its limited size. The lot sits adjacent to several restaurants, a Shell station with clean restrooms, and the Olive Pit specialty store where visitors can purchase food. Most campers report a quiet overnight experience despite proximity to the highway. Many RVers with pets appreciate the level, paved parking spots that can accommodate vehicles up to 35 feet long. The area remains well-lit with security lighting throughout the night.
Dog owners staying at Rolling Hills Casino Truck Lot enjoy full hookup sites with vegetation buffers between spots. The campground provides routine security patrols and maintains clean facilities for pets and their owners. RVs with dogs have access to pull-through sites that easily accommodate larger rigs, with many spots offering sunrise and sunset views. Unlike some facilities that restrict certain breeds, multiple reviews mention no apparent breed limitations at campgrounds in the Corning area. Nearby Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area also welcomes pets on leashes, though river access has been compromised by recent erosion. Most campgrounds in the area maintain strict leash policies to protect wildlife and other campers. Stores like Safeway and the specialty Olive Pit market provide easy access to pet supplies for campers needing to restock during their stay.

"Every spot sits next to an olive tree. It’s very manicured. Very close to the freeway but has a safe feel to it."

GuideThis was a very nice park. Had a clean dog park that we enjoyed. Everything in the park seem like it was well kept. All of the other campers we interacted with seem very nice and courteous to each other. However outside of the park is a shady neighborhood. We went to do laundry and saw what appeared to be people doing drugs outside a hotel near by, and there were numerous homeless people wandering around.
GuideRight behind a casino, but a really nice park. Excellent bathrooms and showers. A pool area and dog park. Good Wi-Fi and amenities. A little pricier than what I am used to but it was a really nice place to stay the night. Also awesome treat bad for the dog provided at check in, a really nice touch.
GuideThis place was a very nice spot for any overnight stay on the way up to Oregon. The woman at the front desk was friendly and helpful. There is great shade in our site (A6) and a nice table. Kudos for the large dog park, now if I can only solve for the a*holes who can't be bothered to pick up after their dogs at every dog park I've ever visited. Don't expect a ton of privacy here and the sites are all gravel and/or dirt except for strips of grass in between neighbors. With all that said we will definitely use this as an overnight stop again.
GuideFull hookups in back in spot for $55. Mostly pull throughs in Park, which cost more. Shower, restrooms, dog park. Propane for sale here.
LegendSo, we already knew we were in trouble. Lassen Volcanic was closed(it was on fire), which is the whole reason we were here. Lots of smoke, but the campground wasn't in danger. We came in anyway. This was the last stop before we started home.
The campground had a lot of cancellations, so it was unusually quiet. That didn't bother us! We had a back in site- 33. The best site in the campground! It's close to the dog park if you have a dog.
The bathroom/shower is 3 sites down. Very clean.
Also close to the walking trail, basketball/volleyball courts& a neat tree swing. All this is under tall pines. This isn't a large campground, but it's VERY nice. Lots of trees& shady. Has a gift shop at the office.
The pool was open. Lots of hornets& 2 people got stung while in the pool. They have traps out, but the hornets are persistent!
Laundry I didn't use, but it's there if you need it. Everything was very clean. Service was friendly.
So, this is a good base for Lassen Volcanic. Since we couldn't go, there's other things to see. McArthur Burney Falls is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. We also stopped at Subway Cave, which we loved& Hat Creek Rim Overlook(which was a waste of time with the smoke). The rest of the day we chilled at the pool! We will definitely be back someday to see Lassen!
RangerThis has been one of the loveliest RV parks we’ve stayed at. We stayed here for almost 3 months, as many others do. Most of the residents are contract workers staying short- to long-term, but the park is also friendly for weekend and overnight stays with select spots available.
I give this place 5 stars because of the respectfulness of both the residents and the staff, along with how well maintained everything is. It’s more campground-sized, but the amenities are kept up very well. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly, the laundry room was nice, and they also have private shower rooms.
The pool was not operating while we were here, but they were actively working on getting it ready for the summer. Since we have a child, we appreciated the playground area and how family-friendly the park felt. The other kids staying here could safely play together and enjoy the space.
There’s also a central activities room with a small gym area, kitchen, and common hangout space, which was nice to have. The fenced dog park was another huge plus and gave our dog room to run around.
The setting by the river is beautiful, there’s good shade throughout the park, and the lots are laid out nicely for pulling in and parking. You can tell by the type of crowd here that it’s a very safe and respectful place with very little trouble.
The location is also convenient — just one exit off Interstate 5 near Costco.
We previously stayed at another RV park in central Redding near the river that cost nearly the same monthly rate, but we genuinely enjoyed spending time at this park, even during the day.
One significant downside is the noise. Interstate 5 to the east is loud, and the wood mill to the west creates constant background noise as well. The silver lining is that you rarely hear your neighbors because of it.
Lastly, if you’re looking for a longer-term stay, we found the application process here much easier than at most other parks. For healthcare contract workers especially, they seem to expedite the process and limit some of the background check and credit score requirements that many parks require.
ScoutThis campground was so nice! So peaceful! It was clean, pet/family friendly, the water was amazing.
GuideThis place is cool - the Mineral Lodge and Restaurant is where we checked in for campground. We needed a place to stay before heading into Lassen Volcanic NP. The Mineral Lodge and campground next door are family owned and have a community feel. No frill campground, does have hookups.
$35 per night plus $2 pet fee
Sites very close together. Bathroom old but works. Poor T Mobile service. No wifi.
ScoutOut of all of the campgrounds around Lake Oroville and within the state park rec area by far Bidwell is THE best..it's clean, it has cell service plus wifi if you need it, pets are ok, 2 to 3 boat launches, spots to fish, great showers and bathrooms plus the park rangers that run this specific campground are the most amazing people.. they remember you and they are always friendly and have a smile for you plus they are incredibly knowledgeable and clearly love their jobs..I love this campground and have been here many times this summer alone I will continue to come back and always recommend it to anyone and everyone
The Sacramento River Valley near Corning, California sits at approximately 300 feet above sea level with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F during peak camping season. The area has several campgrounds situated along the Sacramento River, offering river access options with full-service sites during extreme heat waves. Dispersed camping spots maintain 5-15 degrees cooler temperatures in the evenings compared to daytime highs.
River recreation opportunities: Nearby Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area offers water activities, though campers should note recent changes. "River access has been eroded in this last year so access is down the way at the county park," warns one camper. The area remains popular for its "beautiful oaks, and a fine spot for the night."
Hiking trail exploration: Multiple dog friendly campgrounds near Corning feature trail systems for daytime walks. "There is a great off leash dog area along a trail next to the river," mentions a visitor at Red Bluff KOA Journey. The Sacramento River corridor provides terrain for various hiking abilities.
Olive tasting excursions: The region is known for olive cultivation. At the Olive Pit Dispersed Lot, campers can "stock up on some Olive stuffed garlic and artichokes" before settling in for the night. The specialty store serves as both a shopping destination and camping base for travelers along I-5.
Large, level sites: Campers appreciate the practical layout at many Corning area campgrounds. At Rolling Hills Casino Truck Lot, one visitor noted, "We enjoyed a pull thru full hookup spot... There was a fair amount of space between sites." This is particularly valuable during peak travel seasons.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in this region typically maintain quality bathrooms and showers. "The facilities were great. Clean bathrooms and showers, fire pit, pool, and a lot more," reports a camper at Red Bluff KOA Journey. Regular maintenance creates better experiences for overnight guests.
Wildlife viewing: Natural areas around Corning support diverse wildlife populations. "Heard lots of critters in the night, owls, deer, rabbits. In the morning was woken up by woodpeckers," shares a visitor at Buckhorn Recreation Area. The campground's location allows for immersion in nature while remaining accessible.
Summer heat conditions: Temperatures regularly reach 90-104°F during summer months. A camper at Parkway RV Resort describes their experience: "Nice full hookup spots that are level. Clean bathrooms. It is quiet because far enough away from freeway." Sites with electricity become especially valuable for air conditioning.
Varying pet restrictions: While most pet friendly campgrounds near Corning allow dogs, policies differ on designated areas. The Olive Pit Dispersed Lot has "a small pet area that has a small white fence around a dirted area for pets to relieve themselves," though some campers note its limited size.
Reservation availability: Despite online reservation systems showing "full" campgrounds, reality may differ. At Sycamore Grove Campground, one camper shares: "Reservations.gov implied campground was full, we took a chance for the night and MANY SPOTS WERE AVAILABLE!" Calling directly can often yield better results.
Seasonal flooding impacts: Water levels fluctuate seasonally affecting campground access. "Camp sites were plentiful in November. Took the canoe out every day," notes a Buckhorn Recreation Area visitor, indicating how timing affects water recreation options.
Pool access during heat waves: When temperatures climb, swimming facilities become essential. "A pool, fountains, full hookups, trash pickup at your site," mentions a Red Bluff KOA Journey visitor. Another adds that "the pool was amazing and the shuttle was great considering the heat."
Playground options: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. Buckhorn Recreation Area features "Great day use areas! Nice playground area for kids," according to a recent visitor. These facilities provide activity spaces during downtime between excursions.
Entertainment contingencies: The Parkway RV Resort & Campground provides reliable internet access for family entertainment options. "Even though we were far from the office the internet access was strong," notes one camper, which helps during extreme weather conditions when outdoor activities aren't possible.
Safety considerations: Campgrounds vary in security measures. At Rolling Hills Casino Truck Lot, "They also have routine patrol security," which provides peace of mind for families with children. Lighting and staff presence contribute to overall safety perceptions.
Free overnight options: For budget-conscious RV travelers, Olive Pit Dispersed Lot offers convenient, no-cost parking. "FREE overnight parking for RVs, trailers, and camper vehicles. Very safe and heavily traffic location. Lots of travelers here spending the evening!" The lot accommodates various vehicle sizes with "very flat, leveled, and long paved spots."
Hook-up availability: Full-service sites are scattered throughout the region. At Woodson Bridge Mobile Home & RV Park, "spaces a little close but had fairly level concrete pad," explains one RVer, who also notes, "if you go definitely pay the little extra for the river front very nice views."
Weather preparation: Summer heat demands adequate power for cooling systems. "We chose it for its convenient location on our route, and for its sparkling pool and hot tub," mentions a Red Bluff KOA Journey visitor. Having sufficient amp service for air conditioning becomes necessary during peak summer months.
Supply access: RVers appreciate proximity to services. Near the Olive Pit, one camper notes the "super convenient location near lots of fast food joints, a Starbucks, Rite Aid, and supermarket," making it easy to restock supplies without disconnecting from campsite hookups.
