Peltier Bridge Primitive Campground offers well-separated campsites where dogs can enjoy creek access. This Whiskeytown National Recreation Area campground provides tent-only sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and bear boxes, all pet-friendly. Horse Camp Primitive Campground features just two campsites with enough space for privacy between pet owners, making it ideal for travelers with dogs preferring quieter environments. Sites are equipped with potable water from hand pumps and clean outhouses. Each campsite has fire rings though the Carr fire damaged many trees in the area. Many campers appreciate the creek sounds for peaceful sleeping while their pets explore the shoreline areas.
Oak Bottom Tent Campground requires pets to be leashed at all times during stays, with campsites spaced far enough apart to minimize dog interactions. The campground features drive-in, hike-in, and walk-in access options with wheelbarrows available for hauling gear to walk-in sites. Dogs particularly enjoy the water access, though owners should be prepared for potentially hot conditions in July and August when temperatures regularly reach 100°F. The Sacramento River RV Park provides another option for those traveling with pets in larger vehicles, offering full hookups and maintained facilities. Sites near water require booking well in advance, sometimes a year ahead, especially for waterfront locations popular with dog owners who enjoy shoreline activities.
"It was clean, pet/family friendly, the water was amazing."
"6, 8, and 9 probably your best bets if they are open. 4 and 5 are right next to the entrance. There's a small narrow dirt road, but easily doable even in a loaded down sedan."
from $20 / night
Check Availability"We had an inquisitive fox which was cool and there were a few feral cats which was not cool. Only one other group while we were there."

"The fenced dog park was another huge plus and gave our dog room to run around."
"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."

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.
GuideFull hookups in back in spot for $55. Mostly pull throughs in Park, which cost more. Shower, restrooms, dog park. Propane for sale here.
ScoutThis was a nice short distance away from the i5. Great view of greenery and lake and the night stars. If you happen to have pets be cautious there is a lot of broken glass everywhere, my dog had several cuts on her pads.
TravelerThe campground was beautiful with easy access to the lake and spacious sites that easily fit our large family. This campground was also pet friendly and welcoming to our dogs as well.Our only complaints were that there was no lightning in the bathroom and the quiet hours were not enforced as we were woken up by loud partying well after 2 am.
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.
ScoutWe loved our stay. We felt safe and it’s probably one of the most cleanest campground and facilities I’ve ever been to. Clean bathrooms, showers, zero trash around. All around a great visit. Perfect spot if you are traveling with a pet. Highly recommend.
GuideWe were traveling on a long journey and were not going to make our intended destination. Shasta Lake was nearby. I was very worried it would be full, but when we got to the dam, the guard said the campground had openings. You cannot book the day of, so we went and selected a site (First come, First served). Do have cash or check on you.
The site has vault toilets that were pretty clean. Husband had not ever been to the desert southwest or California, so the number of fox-tails was shocking to him, but it was not to me. Our dog brush, a quick rub hands-on rub down and sticker removal, and the broom kept the van floor from becoming our enemy in the middle of the night. Because we were not doing long-term camping, we did not bring our sand mat. If we had it to do again, we would as it would make the transition into the van or tent much easier. Call that advice you don't have to take. We observed non-potable water on site. Otherwise, this is a boon dock type site, but you have a space, a fire pit, a picnic table and - again - vault toilets.
We saw some butterflies that appeared to be coming out of their cocoons. We kept the pets at bay and enjoyed seeing them for such a long time.
The site does have a lot of motorsports activity (ATV, Motorcycles) but we also motorcycle so we were at home. There were hikers and plenty of other campers there as well.
I had not ever been to this part of the state before and was worried about the campsite being full, but we were very fortunate and would definitely come by here again. The view are utterly breathtaking.

Creek exploration: Cline Gulch BLM offers several spots along a creek where campers can wade and cool off during hot summer days. "My husband and I loved this place. It was a little bumpy ride but well worth it. It was super secluded and quiet. No one else drove by at all during the two days we stayed. There was an awesome creek right next to us," notes Kevinae B.
Waterfall hikes: Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area provides numerous hiking trails leading to scenic waterfalls. "There are so many different hikes and kayak adventures to go on which end up in beautiful waterfalls. We still have not been bored after 30 years of finding places to go or do," shares Dorie R.
Water activities: Multiple water access points around the lakes offer swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding. "We were able to arrive at 9pm and still get a spot through recreation.gov. No running water. There were a lot of branches on the ground for us to be able to build a fire. Right next to a creek/river so great water sounds all night," reports Stephanie W. from Peltier Bridge.
Privacy between sites: Peltier Bridge Primitive Campground campers appreciate the separation between sites. "This campsite was very nice and clean. Each spot was decent. #6, 8, and 9 probably your best bets if they are open. 4 and 5 are right next to the entrance," explains Lily S.
Natural soundscape: The sound of moving water creates a peaceful camping environment. "Loved listening to the creek while falling asleep, lots of shade and the staff was friendly. Sites are nicely spread apart #8 #9 being the best that were open," notes Valerie T. who stayed at Peltier Bridge.
Free camping options: Cline Gulch BLM Dispersed provides no-cost camping about 45-60 minutes from Redding. "This site is nothing special but it's the only BLM I could find in the area. We stopped on the way up to Shasta. You don't need ground clearance or 4wd to get there. Lots of space, there will certainly be a place for you when you pull in," writes Jack W.
Limited site access: Some campgrounds have challenging entry points. "There's like 9 or so sites all pretty far apart. The creek is super beautiful. It was really hot during the day like 90s but site #9 is shady and the river is freezing so it's easy to stay cool," explains Stacy L. about Peltier Bridge.
Weather extremes: Summer temperatures consistently reach triple digits, requiring preparation. "It was really hot during the day like 90s but site #9 is shady and the river is freezing so it's easy to stay cool. Gets pretty cold at night. Even with the campground almost full, it's quiet and peaceful," notes Stacy L.
Walk-in requirements: Oak Bottom Tent Campground requires campers to transport gear from parking areas to campsites. "Oopsies. Did NOT know this was walk in only campground. We camp out of our 4Runner and ended up having to buy a tent and haul everything into our site. They provide a wheelbarrow for hauling your stuff but it was pretty rough," cautions Haley S.
Shoreline access selection: Choose waterfront sites for easier water activities with kids. "Large site next to the shore. Short walk to swimming beach and showers. Kids loved it. Downside was having to haul our gear down a trail to get to our spot," mentions Karen O. about Oak Bottom.
Junior Ranger programs: Brandy Creek Campground offers educational activities for children. "Sign up for the free kayak tours and paddle board programs. The kids also have free JR. Ranger and JR. Firefighter Programs to earn patches and there are free evening family movie nights too," advises Dorie R.
Dog friendly campgrounds near Igo: Multiple campgrounds welcome pets with specific site recommendations. "Nice huge site with basically your own valued bathroom one other campsite shares.

Site selection for heat management: RVers should prioritize shade when temperatures climb. "Conveniently close to the freeway, but not too loud. The facilities could use some updating but most everything works. Overall not much shade but if you're in a Sprinter or van sites 30 & 31 have AM shade," advises Eric J. at Redding RV Park.
Hookup availability: Full-service sites with electricity become essential during summer heat. "Full hookups in back in spot for $55. Mostly pull throughs in Park, which cost more. Shower, restrooms, dog park. Propane for sale here," notes Jeanne A. about Redding RV Park.
