  Redding RV Park

  Clean and Friendly

  This RV Park is right off the 5 in Redding. There’s a small dog run fir some off-leash time. Clean bathrooms with showers. Some long term residents and some travelers. Everyone was quiet and friendly.

  Red Bluff KOA Journey

  Good spot to regroup

  After a 3 week long roadtrip hauling a trailer, Durango Resort was a nice change from our usual wooded or beach campsites. We chose it for its convenient location on our route, and for its sparkling pool and hot tub, which was a huge win for our kids. No fire rings at the sites, but nice communal fire area overlooking the Sac River. It was our first time at an RV resort, but won’t be our last!

  Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort

  Very quiet, close to lots of fishing

  This is a great little mom and pop rv campground. There are tent sites away from the rv part, but we never checked that area out. The rv spots are very clean, and even though they’re close together with no privacy it was an amazingly quiet park. The park is about 1/4 full time residents, 1/4 permanent vacation spots that people keep trailers at and visit from time to time and the other half is campers. We stayed for a week and became buddies with the camp host Craig who gave us great fishing tips for the area and had some great conversation with as well. The owners were very nice and run a tight ship. The rv spots are full hook up with nice green grass, no cable but ok Verizon signal and we got a few local channels on the tv antenna. 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. The little town of Lewiston is pretty cool and a 5 min walk from the campground as well is the trinity river. We will definitely be back.

  Green Acres RV Park

  Hidden gem

  This is a smaller RV park that is well maintained with very nice sites. The concrete pads were wide enough to park on & have a bit of a patio. Full hookups, cable and laundry room were great. There is a pool that is seasonal. The managers are very helpful from the moment of arrival until departure. There is a train track close by, so expect some train horns. We would definitely go back when visiting family in the area.

  Friday's RV Retreat

  Small, Nice, Old School RV Park

  Small, older RV park with beautiful ponds, meadows, and views of Mt Shasta. The RV park is just a small portion of this property owned and operated by the same family for over 50 years. Sites have 30amp electric, water and sewer. Lots of trees surround the campsites. Mostly level sites. Some close together, others spread out.

  Reservations get you in - no assurance on the site you want will be held. Computers aren’t in use - it’s ledger and receipt book type of establishment. It’s quiet at night and owners keep it that way. No music outside your RV.

  Old school and it’s nice it’s that way.

  Del Loma RV Park and Campground

  Beautiful Trinity River

  En route Phone GPS was not reliable, luckily they have a big sign. Check in was ok, family run business and the office was a mess. Small store carries some essentials. You have to drive through several long term older Travel trailers that look like they have been there for years. I camped at site 28, which was actually a group site. It was great to have a large unoccupied area to one side, but the other side had an unoccupied long term TT that stunk like rotten fish. It was so bad we never put out our patio rug, or cooked outside. Across the way was a clean small pool which was very nice. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the loop, and walking down to the Trinity River. There are 2 river spots from the campground. Both are scenic, only one is safe to enter the water and that spot had a very small river rock spot to set up a couple chairs. If you are tent camping or in a smaller RV, their are some better sites that are further away from the permanent old Travel Trailers closet to the entrance. If you are there over a weekend they do have a very large outdoor laser tag area. They technically do have a free Wi Fi, however it is very weak, almost nonexistent. Verizon had no cell coverage.

  Boulder Creek RV Redding

  Nice, clean and welcoming

  Excellent Verizon signal. Very clean. The only negative was it appeared to be many long term residents. Also the water park next to the campground was closed

  Trinity Lake KOA Holiday

  Rustic KOA near Trinity Lake

  We go to this KOA every June or July for the last 10 years. It is a great place. Not your typical KOA as it is more like camping vs other KOA's we have stayed at. Lots of trees and shade. Some RV sites are larger than others and lots of seasonal sites. Close to lake and they have a dock. Beach is seasonal but can drive out on the mud, just don't get stuck. Rocky beach if water is low so bring your river shoes. Sites are full hook ups. Bathrooms are clean and they have made some improvements. Small pool but nice. Can get noisy on the weekends with dirt bikes etc driving around. Great for kids. Lot's to do. Very pretty area. Trinity Lake is not that busy during the week.

  Mount Shasta City KOA

  Mountains, pool and not as hot

  We were glad we made the extra drive to this campground at the base of Mt Shasta - temps were cooler than the valley we had just come thru in Northern California and the pool was refreshing. Kids love staying at KOA’s and it didn’t disappoint. We had a good pull thru full hook up site across from the pool. Nice staff and easy check in. Great stopover for a night.

  Mt. Lassen-Shingletown KOA

  Nice KOA with Pool Next to Lassen

  Well-appointed, forested RV and camp/KOA spot near the entry to Lassen National Volcanic Park. The KOA has a wonderful swimming pool, a great outdoor game area, dirt-bike trails for the kids, rope swings, and a fort. Camp sites are nice if not a little small, though many have water and.or electricity available. RV spots are gravel pads but with full hookups available. There are also cabins available.

  The main office has a small shop for food and other necessities, laundry facilities and showers available. My one critique is that while is says it has wi-fi, it is incredibly sporty and slow.

  The real advantage to this location is it puts you at the doorstep of amazing Lassen, as it’s only 20 minutes away.

  Friendly RV Park

  Great park to stay while traveling through.

  Clean, friendly, and walking distance to food. We had full hook-ups including sewer. Easy access off the I-5. Sites are close together however they are staggered to allow for a little more privacy.

  Antlers RV Park and Campground

  Hidden Gem North of Redding.

  We stayed here for 4 weeks while traveling for work in Redding, so I think our review is well qualified. We're traveling in a 40ft RV for reference though they do also have tent spaces. 

  First off, I'm surprised to be the first one to review this campground on the Dyrt, since it has a lot of informative reviews on Google. We looked at a handful of other campgrounds prior to staying here. Covid and wild fires did have an effect on the other campgrounds that were open, but of those that were,  I think this was one of the best. 

  It has all the amenities one could expect from a typical RV park, full hookups, wifi, cable, showers, laundry, etc. There's a cell tower on the way in to the campground. You can expect two to three bars of LTE from both AT&T and Verizon (we use both) . The staff is very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough about their exceptional attitudes. The spaces are all in the woods with mostly shade, though there are some that get more sunlight than others. The RV spaces are large and offer more privacy than most campgrounds. It tended to fill up on the weekends (sometimes completely) but was fairly quiet during weekdays with only a handful of people. Quiet and peaceful during the week. About thirty minutes to downtown Redding. Small gas station within walking distance, and a small grocery store in driving distance. 1.5 miles off the highway. Big rigs welcome. The website shows pictures of all the individual sites, quite helpful.

  It was a mostly positive experience, but we'll mention two negatives. The bathrooms  sometimes got pretty dirty on the busy weekends and ran out of supplies at times. Hard to say if the pandemic was causing short staff or not though. The other issue is the bears. Its wasn't an issue of them bothering us, we only physically saw them one time in four weeks. They got into the trash pretty regularly though. It was very evident in the morning when the cans would be knocked over and rummaged through.  It could be easily solved with some bear-proof trash cans. Not really a big deal and it didn't have any effect on our stay. 

  We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in the area. Checkout the reviews on Google for more perspective.

  McCloud RV Resort

  Nice park, too expensive

  Stopped in for an overnight. Too expensive for a full hook up pull thru site with grass only and a picnic table. I would expect a cement pad and fire pit. It's very close to main road very noisy.

  Red Bluff RV Park

  No bad!

  We travel with 2 dogs in a 38’ class A with a tow. We did not make reservations just took a chance, success! The woman at the counter was very nice and cheerful they did have a spot that we would fit without unhitching. This is an older park so we were somewhat squished together but not bad. Very nice dog area (not fenced). Seemed to be mostly long term river’s here. Not bad for a one night stay. Those with longer rigs 40+ may want to think twice because of the tight turns and narrow lanes

  Clean, Big Trees, Beautiful Views

  Staff is so nice here. Full hook ups. Beautiful views and you can see Mt. Shasta from the park. A stream that runs through the park (kids played in). Really enjoyable and we have been here before and had to return. Pizza shop in the park. Didn't try it, but heard it was good!

  Railroad Park Resort

  Did the Job

  We stayed at the Railroad Park Resort near Dunsmuir, CA for 5 nights. It was fine, with a couple small issues.. The rest of the park might be wonderful - converted train cars and cabooses, cabins, and a small motel - but the rv portion sort of felt like the red-headed stepchild. I believe our fees were $280 for 5 nights. Full hook-ups, pull through site (many were back-in only) and zero privacy, although the rv park is in a pretty stand of very thinned trees at the far end of the RRP property. There is a teeny store with some basic supplies and snack foods, and ice and wood available for purchase, wifi advertised, as well as a swimming pool. The bathrooms are decent and include showers. We are a family that prefers a little more privacy away from the world, but this park was our only option as we didn't book until 3 weeks prior to our last minute trip to see family in Dunsmuir. Siskiyou County campgrounds are currently full to brimming, and people are lining up at 6am for the few fcfs sites at the FS campgrounds. Reservations are all booked out until the end of August at least.
  We signed a list of rules when checking in to the RRPR, that include a strict "No marijuana use anywhere on RRP property", yet continually got wafting pot smoke from several other campsites. I complained once, and the young man at the store apologized and made a note about it. Also, the woman working in the store in the mornings and during the day was quite rude and snippy, and reiterated at least 4 times that campground guests were only to use the swimming pool down near the cabooses between 10am and 3pm - as if we weren't to meddle with their upscale guests in the train cars and cabins. It felt a bit awkward, but we did use the nice pool one day when we didn't go swimming in Lake Siskiyou.
  Wifi was advertised and a log on with password provided, but we were unable to log on the entire time we were there.
  There were many huge rv's including full sized busses that seemed to navigate the park just fine, and some tent sites around some of the edges.
  All in all - it was not a fantastic experience, but was alright, and we met a few other wonderful campers which is always a neat experience.
  Sorry - I didn't take any pictures, but there are some decent ones if Googled.

  Sacramento River RV Park

  Shady tree canapy

  We stayed there long term after Paradise Camp Fire. Many spaces had their own private grassy areas, which management took care of. We had pottd plants and yrd art and potted veggies. .y site didn't have a cemented space but there was an old picnic table and it was small gravel so easy to get trailer leveled. Allowed to put up a dog containment fence, outdoor screened room on the awning and a small storage shed. We also started a community veggie garden where residents could plot their own veggies. Many spaces are spacious and ours backed up into a wooded area. Our neutered cat loved to roam the woods at night. Pool is refreshing but there are a lot of kiddos, so don't expect quiet "no splashing" moments unless it's a dinner time. Bathroom/showers/pool area are clean, grounds are green and colorful with flowers, there's a club house used for parties and management puts on Christmas and Halloween events. There's a newly built sunshaded playground for the kids, ultimate course on grounds and a small boat ramp nearby to Sac River for fishing access. I wouldn't launch my kayaks or paddleboards due to under currents, but that's just me. I prefer Whiskeytown and Shasta Lake for kayaking/paddle boarding. Overall, I had a wonderful year staying there. Rules aren't so rigid that it makes it uncomfortable. Basic common sense and common RV etticate are expected, like picking up after your pooch, don't let you barker bark too long without duct taping (just kidding) doing something about it, keep area clean and not junked out and just chill out.

  Just a parking lot with hookups

  Marina RV park was ok, more a parking lot with hookups. There was a pool as well, it sure it was open though. It was pretty clean and comfortable, just no picnic table or even space outside to hangout.

  Douglas City Campground

  A Great Surprise - July 2020

  My husband and I were desperate to add a couple days on to the end of our scheduled vacation to the Dunsmuir, CA area as we didn't have to be home until Sunday, but had to check out of the Railroad Park RV Resort on Friday, and there were zero campsites available in Siskiyou County.
  We stumbled on the Douglas City Campground using a great brochure/map we got at the Whiskeytown Information Center.
  We have a 25' pull-behind trailer, so our boondocking options were very limited as most in that area that we could find were set for tenters or very small rv's.
  The incline down to the campground at Douglas City is very steep - maybe a 12% grade, and we didn't have a clue what sort of place we would end up at. Wow, were we pleasantly surprised! A small, cozy campground with host, right on the Trinity River, for $10/night! We grabbed the one pull-through site, but many are easily backed into, and all are nicely paved and mostly level. There are some cute tent sites as well. The days were very hot - probably 100° - and there are no hook-ups so we siesta'd in the afternoons. The river is gorgeous, cold, clean, and refreshing. The Trinity River is popular for rafters so we had fun waving at rafts full of happy people floating by. The night temps dropped nicely after the sun went down behind the mountain, so we were able to cool off. We watched a bat aerial show in the evenings, and listened to the many bird calls as well. The moon and stars were well visible as their is no light pollution in that area.
  I would have given the campground 5 stars except - they have two lovely looking bathroom/shower buildings that are locked up tight with notices that they are closed due to Covid-19, but they supplied the campground with 2 portapotties instead. (??!) I took a star away for that lack of common sense. 😁 We are self-contained so it didn't affect us too much, but tenters would have more of an issue with it.
  All in all - it was a wonderful stay, and we will definitely stay again. 2 take-aways - the river is filled with iron lyrite/fool's gold, and is really pretty when the glakes sparkle in the sun. Also, there is a decent amount of poison oak here and there, so beware. Leaves of 3, let it be!

  Pinewood Cove Resort on Trinity Lake

  No quads!

  Let me start by saying that the area is beautiful. This place is very big also. We planned a trip for our daughters 6th birthday. Got 3 full hook up spots for us, friends and family. These spots aver VERY hard to back in to. The trees are leaning toward the center of the sights literally giving us a foot of room on each side to back in a 24 foot trailer. Boat ramp is very sketchy for a larger patio style boat, will not be doing that again. We brought our daughters quad with us ( little 110cc kids quad) as we were told rides to the store and boat ramp were ok. After about 5 mins of her being on it we were told no more quad riding that day because another group on the other side of the campground had been on them late the night before. Total crap. That was the main thing she was looking forward to that weekend. We will be looking for a place with more space between sites next time and is ATV friendly.

  Old Lewiston RV

  This is a very nice Mom and Pop Rv Park.  The host is very friendly and helpful. Very quiet and relaxing stay.   They have a store at the park.  If you want they provide a fire pit.  Firewood is available.  We stayed during Memorial weekend.  It was a great park to unwind and be with family and friends.

  Quiet, peaceful

  Great little park. Lots of shade and green grass, good management, Clean restrooms and well kept grounds. Close to river and lakes for boating and fishing. There is a great area for tent camping or a place to dry camp with your RV just below the main RV park. There are targets set up for bow hunters in the pines below the park.

  Our 35 foot fifth wheel easily navigated the space.

  JGW RV Park

  Quiet park with a serene riverfront spots

  We called the same day and they were able to give us a spot. We have a 26 ft travel trailer and mid size pick up. They have sites ranging from basic rv with water and electric along with sites with full hookups. Showers and restroom on site for use that are clean and tidy. The pool was not open the first week of October when we visited. That was my only disappointment. It’s still 80 degrees during October a nice dip would be refreshing after being on the road traveling with children. Laundry is on site. Would recommend to others traveling along the interstate.

  Antlers Resort & Marina

  Just ok

  This place seemed pretty dated. Pot holes & speed bumps were harsh pulling trailer around. Pool was cold. Washers & dryers were garbage. Did have full hookups & spots were big. Lots of trees around. Would be nice if you have a boat with the boat launch right there.
