    Tree Of Heaven Campground

    Nice off the beaten path campground

    We visited here while driving south on the I-5. It was far enough off the highway to be peaceful and in beautiful Klamath National Forest. The campsite was clean and as we were there on a Monday evening we had the place nearly to ourselves, though some other folks we talked to said nearly all of the 20+ sites had been full over the weekend. The bathrooms were alright as drop toilets go, not very nice to be downwind of but what can you do. There was what looked like a nice little place to swim in the Klamath river and someone had left plenty of firewood around the sites, so we were happy. I would recommend stopping off in Yreka for food and things before heading into the camp as the campsite is pretty far removed from anything else. The road down is a little steep and winding, but not an issue for the 2013 Subaru Outback. We reserved a site online with no issue and didn’t have any problem claiming it. Would stay here again.

    Beehive Point Shoreline Campground

    Great Location With Caution

    This 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.

    Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday

    Relaxation in the trees

    Cute town and peaceful campground. Clean bathrooms and showers. Pool, game room, shuffle board, basketball court and off leash dog park. Lots of trees in the sites great for hammocking (in the tent sites). I would definitely stay here again.

    Waiiaka RV Park

    Good place to stop for the night

    We stayed overnight on the way to New Mexico. It was clean, quiet, close enough to the freeway to be convenient without being loud. Dog park and playground were small, campsite were packed close together. It was generally nice but unremarkable.

    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    Great camping for tent or RV

    We highly recommend this campground as they have all the amenities…a general store, boat rental, cabin rental, activities for the kiddos, a dog park and pub. Water, toilets and showers are readily available, though a bit in need of a good coat of paint and showers need cleaning/updating .

    Waiiaka RV Park

    Nice & Clean RV Park, Tight Spaces

    I stayed at this park with my daughter and dog for one night while passing through.

    The facilities are very clean, showers have nice hot water for a minimal fee.

    The dog park is small, but well maintained with poop bags on site for your use.

    The RV Park workers were fantastic, checked on us during set up to make sure we had what we needed.

    There are obviously quite a few long term renters at the park, but they showed pride in there homes and area. Everyone’s areas were clean and orderly, and the park was incredibly quiet.

    Only down side is the sites are tightly packed together. My door was only a couple off feet off of my neighbors hook ups. When the camper next to us packed up in the morning, we were outside by our door. The smell of sewage was pretty strong, we just went in our camper and waited for him to finish up.

    Worth a stop for the money if your going to be in the area.

    Hayward Flat

    Family camp out

    The 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.

    Trailer Lane Campground

    Great place to stay!

    Wonderful place to stay! Very nice little campground in Weed, CA. We originally were just stopping for the night so I had reserved a 50 amp pull thru, but we had some problems with our fifth wheel and my husband wanted some shade to work on it. Karen was nice enough to juggle reservations and get us in a 30 amp back in that had shade. Plus, we ended up staying for two nights. Karen was very accommodating and helpful and we really appreciated it! The campground is fun, has some outdoor games, a small dog park, and a community fire pit. And visiting the goats and chickens was definitely a bonus! I highly recommend Trailer Lane Campground and would definitely stay there again! We didn't use the bathrooms or laundry.
