5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds near Douglas City line the Trinity River corridor, offering sites with full hookups suited to both small rigs and large motorhomes. Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort provides full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections on grassy pads with shade trees. "The rv spots are very clean, and even though they're close together with no privacy it was an amazingly quiet park," noted one camper about Lewiston. Trinity Alps RV Park in Weaverville offers 44 sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups, accommodating both large and small recreational vehicles. Del Loma RV Park and Campground maintains 59 sites along Highway 299 with full hookups including 30 and 50-amp electric service. Mountain Gate RV Park near Redding features big-rig friendly concrete pads with 50-amp service for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels.
Access to these parks requires navigation through mountainous terrain with steep grades on rural highways. The descent into Douglas City Campground features a particularly steep 12% grade that may challenge larger RVs. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with limited or no Verizon coverage reported at Del Loma. Most RV parks in the area remain open year-round, though winter conditions can affect road access. According to one visitor, "We were looking for a place to camp near Redding. This campground is about 30 mins from Redding. It was an easy tow on rural but well maintained roads all the way to the campground." Sanitary dump stations are available at most established RV parks, with clean restrooms and shower facilities commonly provided. Pets are generally welcome throughout the area's RV parks, though specific restrictions may apply.
"Biggest I would put in here would be about a 30 foot trailer. You have to disconnect your tow vehicle. River access right around the corner. Lady in the store was very sweet."

"We are new camping trailer owners and needed a spot to hook up and test everything out. Gentleman at the office was very friendly. We had spot 24 which was very easy to pull in and out."
"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."
"We stayed there long term after Paradise Camp Fire. Many spaces had their own private grassy areas, which management took care of."
from $30 - $135 / night

GuideCute RV park, clean showers, restrooms, and laundry area. The pool looks nice, but it is closed for the season right now. There’s a recreation area with a workout room. There’s some traffic noise from the highway, but it’s not too bad. Staff are very friendly. The campground is clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again.

TravelerMake sure you get a players card in the casino before you register your RV at the hotel reception. You get a $15 voucher for every adult that is registered there which you can use for the $50 you have to pay for overnight parking on this full hook up place. But be aware that five times a night a really noisy train feels like it’s driving right through the parking lot. Otherwise it’s a very clean and quiet spot. It has some picnic tables on the side and barbecue grills available. The sides are very close but for one night it is perfect. Area is very secure. They also offer free Wi-Fi.
TravelerWe did work for the new owners they were just awesome to say the least. Looking forward to staying with them as guest next time around.
TravelerWe camped in the rv campground and it was basically just a parking lot. The price was decent ($30 a night) but we had to pay for a park pass on top of that ($25 for a week). They had showers, but they cost a quarter per minute. The lake was nice, but it was a bit of a walk from the rv parking.
TravelerPeaceful and quiet even with full occupancy. Beautiful sites with the sound of the river. Just enough cell phone reception to text and call but not enough to doom scroll. Host very helpful.
ScoutThe site itself is great. It's well kept, grass is green and watered nightly, sites are clean, and it has nearly all the amenities you need (no public restrooms/showers). The Wi-Fi is excellent - it's honestly one of the standout features. I need good internet for work and I had zero problems working and streaming video at the same time. The coin-only laundry machines are a bit cumbersome but there is a change dispenser so it's not a big deal. The pool and fish pond are nice but there's no hot tub for the winter. Neighbors and staff are great. The surrounding neighborhood is a little less welcoming but it's not a big deal considering the fair price.
TravelerThis campsite is closed. All the Recreation.gov website does not clearly indicate that it is not available. It’s suspiciously available for reservations, however which should be enough to question its status.
GuideThe views were unbeatable and extensive trails right from camp kept me happy. Site was clean and huge, big enough for dog tie out, and it had a tent pad in addition to accommodating our 33 foot trailer. Level and enough sun for solar. Starlink was fine. Neighbors were far enough but annoying barking dogs that the owner couldn’t control were annoying. Campground host did his best to ask her to quiet them but she told him off, poor guy. Toilets were so clean and actually smelled good ! Bear cans and spring water spigots everywhere. What luxury despite the remoteness!

Fishing trips: Several campgrounds offer direct river access for anglers. At Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort, "The owners were very nice and run a tight ship... They have a nice little store and a fish cleaning stand. We fished Lewiston lake less than 10 min. away and Whiskeytown Lake about 20-25 min. away with great luck."
Bow hunting practice: Some campgrounds provide specialized amenities for hunters. According to one camper at Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort, "There are targets set up for bow hunters in the pines below the park," making it a suitable destination for practice before hunting season.
River swimming: When temperatures rise in summer months, cooling off in the Trinity River becomes a popular activity. "Just around the corner from the campground (walking distance) is access to the river. The whole family enjoyed dipping in when it's warm outside," notes a camper about Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort.
Quiet atmosphere: Despite being near highways, many parks maintain peaceful environments. At JGW RV Park in Redding, campers appreciate the "Quiet park with a serene riverfront spots" and note it's "not crowded space."
Shaded sites: Tree coverage provides relief during hot summer months. One reviewer at Trail In RV Park & Campground noted, "A creek, lots of trees, a quiet roadway and full hookups made for a nice break... no traffic noise because of the thick buffer of trees."
Green spaces: Many parks maintain grassy areas rather than all-gravel sites. A visitor to Mountain Gate RV Park highlighted this feature: "Well maintained and clean park. Actually has grass, not all gravel. Sites level. Nice pool and laundry room."
Limited size accommodations: Some parks have restrictions on larger rigs. At Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort, one camper advised, "Biggest I would put in here would be about a 30 foot trailer. You have to disconnect your tow vehicle."
Water quality concerns: Water systems in some parks may need attention before use. At JGW RV Park, a camper noted, "Water does seem cloudy so be sure to run it before you hook up. I have had to clear out my faucet filter twice."
Seasonal closures: Facilities like swimming pools often close outside peak season. A visitor to Mountain Gate RV Park mentioned in September: "One of the restrooms was shut down for repairs. Too pricy." Another camper noted disappointment that "Mid-July, 114 degrees and their pool is closed!!!"
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Some parks offer recreational facilities for children. At Boulder Creek RV Redding, a family noted "The grounds were beautiful, and included a small waterfall & koi pond, and a play structure for the littles."
Consider tent camping areas: Families looking for more space might prefer designated tent areas. At Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort, "There is a great area for tent camping or a place to dry camp with your RV just below the main RV park."
Off-leash dog areas: For families traveling with pets, look for parks with designated dog spaces. At Redding RV Park, "There's a small dog run for some off-leash time. Clean bathrooms with showers."
Self check-in procedures: Learn park procedures for after-hours arrival. At Redding RV Park, "We had a level back-in site. Management allowed us to park our truck in the empty space right next to our camper, which was super convenient."
Overnight stops vs. extended stays: Different parks better suit different lengths of stay. For travelers just passing through, Trail In RV Park & Campground offers "No Frills. Quiet. Easy Access. Good Amenities" and is "a Passport America campground & so we tried it out."
Pest precautions: Some campgrounds have reported ant issues. At Marina RV Park, one camper warned, "The real kicker though is the ant infestation we received in a single eighteen or so hour stay. Another guest warned us as they had the same experience."
