Best RV Parks & Resorts near Forest Ranch, CA

RV parks near Forest Ranch offer varied accommodation for motorhomes and travel trailers. The Parkway RV Resort & Campground in Orland provides big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections. "Nice safe quiet park that has many pull through spaces for RVs spending the night," notes one frequent visitor. Almond Tree RV Park in Chico features concrete pads suitable for larger rigs, while Red Bluff KOA Journey maintains 173 sites open year-round with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service. Durango RV Resort (now Red Bluff KOA Journey) accommodates drive-in access with spacious sites that can handle larger motorhomes.

Several parks in the region require advance reservations during peak travel seasons, particularly summer months when Lassen Volcanic National Park attracts visitors. Cell service varies considerably throughout the area, with some RV parks offering WiFi to compensate for spotty mobile coverage. According to one visitor, "Cell service is spotty at best and unfortunately WiFi was not working properly." Full-service dump stations are available at most established RV parks, though not at all county or forest service campgrounds. Pet policies generally permit dogs with standard leash requirements. For RVers seeking river views, River Reflections RV Park in Oroville sits adjacent to the Feather River with grassy areas extending to the water's edge.

    Mill Creek Resort

    Nice Private Campground

    This campground is just south of Lassen Volcanic National Park.  It has two main sections, one for RVs and the other for tents.  There are a small number of RV sites with full hookups and then a larger number of tent sites.  The RV sites are fairly small, but felt separated enough to have some privacy.  The tent sites are a bit more rustic.

    The other slightly odd part is that most of the RV sites were filled with people who came and stayed for the entire summer, year after year.  We were the only not long-term camper in the RV section.  

    Pros:

    * Close to a lot of amazing scenery with Lassen

    * Well kept, clean, quiet campground

    * Camp store/restaurant is great

    * Laundry on site

    * Access to a nice little creek w/swimming hole

    Cons:

    * Camp store is open limited days

    * Tent sites only have pit toilets which are not the best maintained

    OK:

    * No fires in the RV sites

    * Showers were not always very clean

    Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    Manzanita Lake Campground - Tidy but Tight Spaces

    Manzanita Lake Campground is the campground closest to the north entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park. It is best accessed from California State Route 44/89. My wife and I reserved space A8 for a four-night stay beginning August 7, 2023. 

    While the campground is well-maintained, I cannot, under any circumstances, recommend that space for anyone camping with an RV or travel trailer. From all appearances A8 looked perfect. But appearances can be deceiving. Looking at an online map of the campground A8 appeared to be a pull-through site which it is. The problem is the site dips down from the access road, bottoms out slightly, then rises again back toward the access road. It took us nearly an hour to locate an area within the space that would allow us to attain a reasonable level so that our refrigerator would operate on propane. And our travel trailer is only 18-feet in length. Once the trailer was reasonably level, the entry step was approximately 18 inches from ground to the step (see images).

    Despite the initial difficulties, once settled, we found the campground to be quiet even though there is not a lot of space between sites. The camp store offers some grocery items but is mainly dedicated to the sale of tourist merchandise. It does have a gas pump offering only 87 octane regular gas at $4.99 per gallon - cash only which is below market price for the area.

    We would camp at Manzanita Lake Campground in the future but would be highly selective in our choice of sites - driving through the various loops we noted that very few are close to level.

    The Parkway RV Resort & Campground

    Great place for stopover

    We found this site via the Dyrt app. We stayed one night, in an very hot week. We really appreciated the pool, the very friendly staff and clean restrooms. Note that the pull through sites have some shade, but the gravel is a small heat island, so it takes long to cool down in a camper van without AC.

    Rolling Hills Casino Truck Lot

    Hidden Gem!

    Only $55 for a full hookup that’s a pull through. $50 for Good Sam Members. We came in too late to enjoy the comedy shows they have every first Saturday. If you happen to make it on time, “Carlinos” or the place the host it is in the North Tower. Go right at the main entrance. We missed it by wandering around the casino trying to find it. There are also amazing views at sunset and sunrise if you get to the lots closer to the end- which we didn’t. Great front desk staff! They also have routine patrol security.

    Laundry: $2.00 for washing machines and $1.00 for dryers. Must be done by 10 pm with the last load starting at 8 pm.

    Showers: $15/person- not included in RV fee

    Dump station: $10- only from 9am- 5 pm, although each site has sewer hookups.

    No wifi, but I’m not upset because the price was great and I had good cell coverage.

    Summit Lake North — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    Small quiet retreat

    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!

    Manzanita Lake Campground — Lassen Volcanic National Park

    Campground - Meh; Lassen - Gorgeous!

    General: Four loops plus a cabin loop, however, after September 5 at noon, the only loops open are A, B, and cabins. 

    Site Quality: Some pull-throughs and some back-in. The back-in sites were, for the most part, better suited for tent camping as the camper pads were quite short and many were not level. We lucked out in that our camper pad was only slightly unlevel and we could make it work with our camper van. Some sites were close together with minimal separation while others had more trees separating them. 

    Bath/Shower house: There were several toilet options ranging from vault toilets to basic bathrooms with flush toilets, to larger restrooms with dishwashing sinks. Although there was a soap dispenser in the two closest to our site, there was no soap. The very cold water was oh-so refreshing on a cold September morning! The dishwashing sink in the A loop was locked but we did see campers using the one in the B Loop.

    Activities/Amenities: There is a camper store with food, showers, gas, and laundry available. You can access both Manzanita and Reflection Lakes (1.5 and.5 miles respectively) from the campground. The Chaos Crags trailhead is approximately a half mile from the A Loop. There are kayak, cataraft, and SUP rentals available for Manzanita Lake but it was a bit chilly when we were there. There is zero cell service in the campground but it is noted there is a milepost where you can grab a signal. On our Chaos Crags hike, however, we got a strong signal on Verizon!

    The campground was okay but worth it as a base camp for exploring the northwest part of the park. Happy this one has not been outsourced to a vendor and the price is still reasonable ($26 or$13 with the senior pass).

    Rocky Point Campground - Lake Almanor

    Beautiful, Good fishing, great swimming & boatingwe

    We have been going here for years.  The spaces are large, sunny and shaded with lovely trees and all within walking  distance from the lake.  Staff is friendly and helpful and the park is always clean.  Love the fishing, swimming and hiking.  Beautiful views of the mountains and lake any direction.  Family and pet friendly at a reasonable cost.

    Easy access, clean facilities, level 75' pull through spots

    We enjoyed an overnight stay here. Clean facilities, well maintained grounds and friendly neighbors. Conveniently located just off I-5, far enough away from the noise.
