"The sites are level with picnic tables and fire pits. There are bathrooms, free hot showers, laundry, dog run, playground and store," notes one visitor about the region's RV camping facilities. Most parks in the area accommodate larger rigs with pull-through options, though site spacing varies from park to park.
Summer and fall bring higher occupancy rates to RV parks near Etna, making advance reservations essential, particularly for weekend stays. Cell service varies throughout the region, with stronger signals in Yreka and Weed than in more remote locations. Navigation to some RV campgrounds requires careful planning, as mountain roads can present challenges for larger motorhomes. Most facilities offer sanitary dump stations, though Hi-Lo Motel & RV Park in Weed notably lacks this amenity. Pet-friendly policies are standard across all parks, with designated dog areas available at several locations. Propane service can be found at select RV parks, with one reviewer noting prices around "$3.50/gallon" at a nearby facility. Laundry facilities, showers, and basic supplies are typically available, making these parks suitable for both overnight stays and extended visits.

So much shade
We stayed two nights here and were able to walk to the Apple harvest festival across the street. You are definitely packed in here but the park is really nice. We stayed in spot 29.
These spots seem to have shade all day long: 25-34 47-70
Spots we saw that we would like to stay in next time: 18, 19, 83A, 113
Also good: 80-83 and 105-113
36-47 have no shade in the afternoon/early evening
The bathrooms were old but clean. I wish the outdoor cooking facilities were better maintained. I’m not quite sure they are usable, but my husband says they are.
We definitely will return to this Park. I appreciate the tight ship they run. We let them know that our cable box was broken when we arrived, and even though we don’t use the cable, they had somebody there within five minutes to fix it. Strict 10pm quiet rule, which I also appreciated. Some highway noise, but it was not that bad. The little town of McCloud is so very cute and easily walkable. We recommend Sage for a fancy dinner.

Quiet amongst the trees
I showed up for a first come first served site. It wasn’t clear when I drove in that you can look at the dates on the reservation tags and use the site if you’re between days it is reserved. Nice shady wooded campground right next to the river with easy access to a gorgeous trail.

Jackson Campground On The Applegate River
Quiet and great location
The campground sits right on the river and even though it is near the road, there is not much traffic. At night it was super quiet. The camp host was friendly and the bathrooms were clean and there is a nice trail along the river.

The Boondock
It's a beautiful camp, but there is a conflict between their (gov run) website information and in park board. Some sights are first come first serve, but some can be reserved online, but aren't marked, so there can be a reservation for a first come first serve spot. I've been there three times, the last wasn't bad, but twice the above issues caused inconvenience to my camp. Still a beautiful place, though

Trailer Lane Campground
Adorable shasta sugar trailer 1961
Me and my boyfriend visited Shasta for the first time, and we stayed 3 nights at Shasta Sugar Vintage Trailer. Unfortunately, our 3 days started with rain, so we couldn’t explore nature and have as much adventure as we wanted. Heavy rain, muddy roads, and driving in the fog changed our trip plans. But when our plans changed, we had to stay in the trailer more—and we actually enjoyed it even much more! I was so glad to find this vintage cutie. When I booked it, I knew the interior was vintage, but I didn’t realize how special it would feel. Shasta Sugar is from 1961, so you really have to appreciate the vintage charm of it. We never had any issues and didn’t smell any gas or gas licking. It was pretty warm inside with the heater. I don’t know about summer without AC, but it might be enough with the fans. The profile does say there is no AC. We cooked breakfast and dinner and really enjoyed using the kitchen. We slept well, and I really appreciated the taste of the interior design. I loved all the colors, even the dishes they chose. The vintage blue and red make the place even more special if you have an artsy taste. Surprisingly, the couch that turns into a bed was so comfy to sleep on! Just keep in mind, if your boyfriend is tall and has big shoulders, it might feel a little tight. If you like this trailer, date a shorter man.😂 Everything was so clean and cute. Sitting outside by the apple tree, we never heard the noise from the highway. We enjoyed all the chicken and rooster sounds, especially in the morning—they were adorable! Honestly, hearing the rooster sound is the best first thing when you wake up. The bathroom was clean and warm, with really hot water in the shower. So convenient! Karen was the best host. She cared about our privacy, was really helpful, and always responded quickly. We really appreciated her. I also really recommend the campground if you want to experience the RV lifestyle. Overall, I really recommend this place. You’ll have such a unique experience staying in the cutest vintage trailer ever, especially if you have an artsy taste! Thank you Host. lucky to find her.

So.many horses

Gorgeous glacier lake
The 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!

What campers like
Clean facilities: McCloud RV Resort maintains exceptional cleanliness standards throughout their property.

What you should know

The free campground WiFi provides 1 Mbps download speed. We paid $12.00 for one week of upgraded WiFi which provides 3 Mbps download," explains Mike.

At Waiiaka RV Park, one camper notes "the sites are close together but we were only there for the night's sleep so we didn't mind," while at McCloud RV Resort, susan R. observed "the spaces in the 120's were very small your neighbors slide is in your space!"
Overnight stopover options: Yreka RV Park serves well for short stays while traveling through the region. "We stopped here when we were so tired we couldn't drive any further.
