Best RV Parks & Resorts near Junction City, CA

RV parks in the Trinity County region include Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort with full hookup sites and grassy pads, ideal for motorhomes up to 35 feet long. The resort provides 30-amp hookups, water, sewer, and sanitary dump facilities year-round. One visitor noted, "Our 35 foot fifth wheel easily navigated the space," though the resort is better suited for medium-sized rigs rather than the largest motorhomes. Del Loma RV Park and Campground offers 59 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical connections along Highway 299 in Big Bar, while Trinity Alps RV Park in Weaverville maintains 44 sites with similar hookup options but restricts campfires.

Access to these RV parks requires careful navigation on rural mountain roads with occasional steep grades. Most parks maintain reasonable Verizon cell service, though coverage becomes spotty in more remote locations. Sanitary dump stations are available at most facilities, with Old Lewiston Bridge and Del Loma RV Park offering on-site waste disposal. According to one camper, "The drive in could be a challenge for an RV, so I'd caution anyone to check it out first, before pulling a trailer in." During summer months, particularly holiday weekends, advance reservations are strongly recommended as the limited number of RV-accessible sites fill quickly. Pets are generally welcome throughout the area's RV parks, though some restrictions may apply in specific sections or during certain seasons.

    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.

    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.

    Horse Camp Primitive Campground — Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area

    June 2025

    Sites are SUPER uneven and not really defined. The picnic table/fire pit area has large boulders around them and a road runs right between both sites. Luckily the noise died down after the sunset but it was pretty heavily traveled during the day. Good spot for large rigs.

    Long windy road to get up to sites. There was potable water as well as a pit toilet at top. No cell service but starlink worked great.

    It was $20 for site for a night plus you have to get a whiskeytown national forest pass unless you have the NP yearly pass.

    Castle Crags State Park Campground

    State of CA Campground, year round campground, dry camping only

    Some info to keep in mind when visiting...

    Year-round campground. Dry camping only. Has showers (nice hot water), and flush toilets. Showers are designed to accept tokens but this season not needed.

    Each site has a parking space, picnic table and fire pit. Some have older stone fireplaces (but most of these need repair). Nicely maintained. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable.

    This is an older campground , originally built by CC in 1930s. Oldest camping area is right next to I-5 (which was not there when the campground was built!). But there are newer camping sites farther away from I-5. Sites 39-63 are the farthest from the freeway noise.

    Most campsites have parking for one vehicle. Some will accept two vehicles like a truck and trailer. But, there are no sites for large RVs, or large trucks and 5th wheels and/or large pull behind RVs. Max length is 27' and only a couple of spaces that handle those.

    Campground and day use are mainly for people who like walking and hiking. Many hiking trail options. And a "vista point" that shows Mt. Shasta, Castle Crags and the Eddies (outstanding view, ADA accessible). No playground for kids. Though there is a second campground on the Sacramento River that is first come/first serve (13 sites) that allows fishing and river access for swimming.

    Both campgrounds have camp hosts on site for most active months. (May-Sept.)

    Reservations can be made online at reservecalifornia.com during the most active camping months May-Oct. Rest of the time first come/first serve. But, at any time, there are usually open sites. Feel free to call and check if sites available-even on short notice.

    Very popular campground for folks from OR and WA who are passing through going north or south on I-5. And there is a PCT campsite specifically made for those folks.

    Nearest town is Dunsmuir, CA about 5 miles north of the campground. Has nice city park (for kids). And, shops, grocery store, restaurants, etc.  Gas station/convenience store is 1/4 mile from park entrance.

    Come and see us and let's enjoy being outdoor again!

    Redding RV Park

    Great Stay — Clean, Friendly, and Well-Maintained

    We had a great experience at this RV park! The bathroom facilities were very clean, the laundry room was spotless, and the pool looked freshly refinished. There’s also a nice fire pit and barbecue area on-site.

    I’m pulling a 21-foot travel trailer and 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. All hookups worked perfectly.

    The management team here is excellent — very accommodating. I had Amazon packages delivered to the office with no issues, and when I needed a ladder for some quick RV maintenance, they let me borrow one without hesitation.

    Overall, a really well-kept, friendly park. Would absolutely stay here again.

    Trail Creek Campground

    Quiet Campground In the Klamath National Forest

    This is our second time camping in this campground. It’s out of the way and pretty remote, but quiet and peaceful. There are no hookups, but there is drinking water provided as well as vault toilets (which were pretty darn clean), and a bear proof trash can. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Generator use is allowed from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Last year in July when we visited there were maybe 3 other people here. This time in October (late in the season), we were the only ones here. The fee is $10.00 a night, or $5.00 with the pass/senior discount. There is ZERO cell service with T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon. We did have Starlink with us and we were able to get signal, but it was spotty due to all the tree coverage. Trail Creek runs through the back of the campground and is beautiful!

    Redding RV Park

    Very Utilitarian & Serviceable RV Park

    Conveniently close to the freeway, but not too loud. The facilities could use some updating but most everything works. It’s generally clean*. Overall not much shade but if you’re in a Sprinter or van sites 30 & 31 have AM shade (see pic). This place is very function for a stop on a Cannonball Run, but not for a long term stay, IMHO. *The Green Fire is 25 miles away and many of the woodland firefighters are staying here (so grateful for them). So the bathrooms were a little dirtier than probably normal, which is just fine.


Guide to Junction City

Trinity County RV campgrounds accommodate a range of vehicle sizes across varying terrain. Most facilities limit larger RVs to 35 feet or less due to narrow mountain roads and compact sites. Seasonal considerations affect RV camping near Junction City, California, with summer temperatures averaging 85-95°F and winter conditions often bringing snow at higher elevations above 2,000 feet.

What to do

Fishing access: At Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort, campers enjoy proximity to multiple fishing spots. "We fished Lewiston lake less than 10 min. away and Whiskeytown Lake about 20-25 min. away with great luck," notes one visitor. The resort provides a fish cleaning station for processing your catch.

River swimming: Several Trinity County campgrounds offer river access points for cooling off. "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," reports a camper at Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort. Water temperatures remain cool even during summer heat.

Hunting base camp: Critter Creek Campground & RV Park serves as a strategic location for hunting. "Awesome place, amazingly helpful and kind owners, Critter creek campground is right on 36 and wildwood road. Went there for a week of hunting and the property backs up to nothing but days and days worth of b-zone land," shares one hunter who stayed there.

What campers like

Shaded sites: Many RV parks in the region feature mature trees providing natural cooling. A camper at Boulder Creek RV Redding appreciated the "beautiful, quiet & friendly" atmosphere with "a small waterfall & koi pond, and a play structure for the littles."

Clean facilities: RV campgrounds near Junction City maintain well-kept amenities. "Super clean & quiet" was how one visitor described Mountain Gate RV Park, noting it's "probably one of the most cleanest campground and facilities I've ever been to. Clean bathrooms, showers, zero trash around."

Quiet atmosphere: Despite proximity to highways, many parks maintain peaceful environments. At Trail In RV Park & Campground, a visitor noted that "even though it's actually next to the I-5, no traffic noise because of the thick buffer of trees." The natural setting contributes to the tranquil experience.

What you should know

Site width variations: RV spaces range from compact to spacious across different facilities. At Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort, one camper mentioned, "The spots are grassed, all clean and well maintained. The spaces are wide. Wider than any other places we have stayed."

Cell service limitations: While many parks have adequate connectivity, coverage becomes inconsistent in remote locations. "Excellent Verizon signal" was reported at Boulder Creek RV Redding, while at Del Loma RV Park and Campground, "Verizon had no cell coverage" according to another visitor.

Long-term residents: Some RV campgrounds near Junction City maintain a mix of temporary and permanent residents. "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," observed one visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Pool availability: For summer visits with children, check which facilities offer swimming options. Mountain Gate RV Park maintains a pool, though one visitor noted it can close during extreme conditions: "Mid-July, 114 degrees and their pool is closed!!!"

River safety checks: When camping with children near the Trinity River, verify which access points are appropriate for family use. At Del Loma RV Park, "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."

Budget-friendly options: For families watching costs, tent camping areas often provide more affordable alternatives to full-hookup sites. At Trinity Alps RV Park, one camper found "a pleasant, grassy, mostly shaded area behind the main building. Restroom and showers, no extra charge. We paid $25 dollars to the helpful host."

Tips from RVers

Vehicle size limitations: Many Trinity County RV parks have restrictions on larger rigs. At Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort, a camper advised, "Biggest I would put in here would be about a 30 foot trailer. You have to disconnect your tow vehicle."

Hookup variations: Electrical connections vary between parks, with some offering both 30-amp and 50-amp service. Redding RV Park provides "full hookups in back in spot for $55. Mostly pull throughs in Park, which cost more," according to a recent visitor.

Navigation challenges: Access roads to some parks require careful driving. One RVer reported about Old Lewiston Bridge: "It was an easy tow on rural but well maintained roads all the way to the campground. Easy tow for my 25.5 foot travel trailer and 2019 Chevy taho."
