Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lakehead, CA

Lakehead, California offers several RV parks with full hookup capabilities along the shores of Shasta Lake. Shasta Lake RV Resort provides big-rig friendly sites with 30-amp service from May through December, while Lakeshore Villa RV Park operates year-round with full hookups and spacious sites for larger motorhomes. Antlers RV Park and Campground features electric hookups, sewer connections, and water in a wooded setting that provides natural shade for RVs. Lakehead Campground & RV Park rounds out the local options with 30-amp service, sanitary dump station access, and pull-through sites for easier parking. "The RV spaces are large and offer more privacy than most campgrounds," noted one long-term visitor to Antlers RV Park, highlighting the generous spacing between sites that allows for comfortable extended stays.

Most RV parks in the Lakehead area welcome pets and provide essential amenities like showers, toilets, and trash service. Cell service can be variable throughout the region, with stronger signals closer to Interstate 5. For those needing more urban conveniences, Redding RV Park and Mountain Gate RV Park are located approximately 30 minutes south with 50-amp service and concrete pads that require minimal leveling. Propane is available for purchase at select locations like Redding RV Park. Summer months see higher occupancy rates, particularly on weekends when lake recreation peaks. One reviewer mentioned that "sites are SUPER uneven" at some of the more rustic campgrounds, suggesting that leveling blocks are essential equipment when visiting certain parks in the area. Sanitary dump stations are available at most parks, though some charge additional fees for this service.

    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.

    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.

    Trailer Lane Campground

    Mostly dirt parking lot. Owner operator was downright rude.

    We prepaid and we’re assigned a site. We showed up before the 2PM check in time and couldn’t raise anyone so pulled into our vacant site which was supposed to be pull through but sites are back to back so difficult to do in addition our site had a tree 12-14’ from electric and utilities. Had to jockey a number of time to position our slide outs each side of the tree and other side slide out behind electrical. Not easy to position.  Little later guy shows up and tells us we have to move. What?  Said we were in the required fire Lane.  I questioned it and he snapped that we had checked in early, I replied we tried the bell at the store and no one responded. Again we were chastised for being early.  He stated fire Lane was in back of our fifth wheel.  I paced it off and we were sixteen feet to the trailer behind.  He responded you have to move.  That would force us to pull forward almost out of our space.  Based on his rudeness we said we would just leave.  We were still charged even after requesting a refund.

    McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park Campground

    Quiet campground next to busy day site

    Where camped here just after they opened in April, 2021.  The daytime visitors made for a large crowded parking lot and line at the entrance station, but so far on 8 campers in the 64 sites that were open.

    It is a wonderfully shaded park (i.e. no solar) and the sites are nicely separated.  However it is an older park and our 18 foot trailer was too large for many of the sites.  There were no pull throughs and any trailer over 25 feet is going to have a problem.  Otherwise, for the most part the pads were paved and flat.

    They had solid picnic tables, aging stone fireplaces, but nice, newer heavy metal fire rings.  Wood was available for purchase.  There is no electric on site and the water faucets (not threaded) were scattered around the site.  No dish water dump or cleaning station, but there was an RV dump station.  They flush toilets with hot and cold water sinks as well as the showers (2 tokens for $1 = 4min) are excellent.

    This is a cell dead zone.  Absolutely no Verizon service until you drove back to Burney.

    We really enjoyed the different hikes that were available, being around 2 miles more or less in length.  The falls are the usual tourist zoo, but very beautiful.  Once you get out on the trails, you don't see many people.

    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.

    Mt. Lassen-Shingletown KOA

    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.
