  Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

  Lake Siskiyou RV Resort

  I have frequented this RV campground several times over many years.  It is sad to see it becoming run down. The once paved interior roads are now barely discernable dirt paths. They also have a fee for locking in your chosen campground site for an additional $35 fee?!?!? Once you have waited for a specific site/s to become available to reserve, under what circumstances would they deem it reasonable to move you to another site without your consent?  I luckily did not (will not) pay the additional fee, and 90% of the campground was vacant the week I was there. That guaranteed reservation fee is just a scam to get more money out of you. The costs of the sites are not cheap to begin with.

  Trailer Lane Campground

  Delightful campground in the shadow of Mount Shasta

  Karen and Jay have a delightful campground in the shadow of Shasta Mountain. The camp sites are nicely groomed, flat and have full hookups. If you don't have an RV you can stay in one of the trailers they have on site. Or if you prefer to tent camp, they have nice sites for that as well. Nice showers and bathroom facilities. Clean and well stocked. The fun part is the critters they have on site- chickens, turkeys, goats and quail. There is a fun little kid zone with several activities appropriate for the whole family. And if you are craving a campfire, they have a nice pit in this kid area where you can safely enjoy the coals. This is situated near many great hiking and fishing sites so you will not be bored. There are some beautiful waterfalls, lakes and rivers to have you enjoy on your travels. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is the road noise from the freeway nearby. But definitely worth staying and relaxing!

  Dispersed Campsite near Castle Lake and Shasta

  Easy find near Castle Lake

  You’ll have to enter a dirt road to get down to this spot. There will be several sites, but small ones all along that dirt road. This site specifically is good for when camping with a Van or small trailer.

  Ashland's Creekside Campground & RV Park

  A campground with most sites filled with long time renters

  This is a crowded, run down campground.  The campsites had personal items/a sofa left outside their unit.  Many units had clutter and misc. stuff outside of their RV.  We wouldn't advise staying here.

  Mount Ashland Campground

  Beautiful view!!

  The view was absolutely stunning on the first day then it turned to rainy with harsh winds and very cold the second day. Maybe I went a bit too late in the season:/ This campground is really only set up for tent campers. The place to park for vehicles is far from level. Even with camper jacks I was sleeping at an angle. If you have a van or camper I would recommend parking at one of the more level pull offs before the campground then just walking up for the view.

  Trailer Lane Campground

  Great Little Park!

  We enjoyed our stay at Trailer Lane. Jay was very accommodating and took great care of us. The price was right also. We recommend this place highly. Very clean and well maintained. Bathroom/shower is old but clean with updated fixtures. We absolutely LOVED the animals onsite! Chickens, turkeys, quail and goats! Some of the chicken coops were old vintage trailers! 

  We will return!

  Fish Lake Campground - Rogue River

  Wooded camp near lake

  They have about 4 first come first serve sites, otherwise sites are available if tag on site is not for the nite you pull in. Plenty were available when we were there on a Sunday afternoon. Most sites are wide but many are not real long, but width allows for unhooking and space for vehicle or creative parking. Sites are spread out nicely. Our site had no site on one side and back to a trail to lake. Toilets were flush with sink. They honor the senior/golden/etc passes. Some highway noise. But quiet at nite.

  Great Place to camp overnight

  Wonderful place to stay overnight. The owners were very responsive to our concerns and requests. The campground is friendly, clean, well taken care of and easy to get to. It shows the pride of ownership. Will definitely return when in the area

  Large space with tons of camp sites. I took camp spot 28 and had plenty of space behind me and around me. Tons of rules here, but can tell the camp ground is well maintained and nothing unreasonable. Friendly staff, shoutout to Fernanda 🤙🏽

  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.

  Needs work.

  Very large park. Does not look like any money has been invested in a long time. Lots of amenities but poor condition. 3 star because of full hookups. Worst marked loops ever.

  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.

  Jackson County Howard Prairie Lake Resort

  A bit crowded

  This is definitely a campground for families. not much privacy between spots, they are all pretty much right next to eachother. if you’re looking for a more secluded, private campground i wouldn’t recommend this. that being said the nature surrounding the campground is pretty. i’m sure the lake is nice to take a dip in, wouldn’t know because we left early but if you’re just looking for a family vacation this would be a good spot. bathrooms were mostly clean and they have showers! and allowed fires even in the heatwave.

  McCloud RV Resort

  Cool and green

  This was day one of a 20 day cruise! We were more than happy to escape the 110’ temps down in the valley. The campground was cramped as it was the 4th of July holiday. Sites are really packed together!
  The micro-canal that runs through it was great for our lab. He just loved tramping in and out. The nights were cool - almost chilly. Of note: the water is great! Pure and cold. However, it is high pressure. It exploded our water hose! After that we learned to place our pressure regulator valve right on the faucet. Then attach the hose and filter. We enjoyed the pizza and beer at the little micro-brewery at the entrance to the park. They are no longer brewing their own beer and they hope to sell the place soon. Pizza was excellent. A great place for kids, bikes, and dogs.
  Best advice: book this at least 2 months in advance

  Lake of The Woods Resort

  Veterans! Avoid! "America the Beautiful" interagency passes NOT honored

  Lake of the Woods does not entirely honor the "America the Beautiful" interagency pass, even tho it is privately run it is on public NFS land that those passes should cover.

  Shame on Lake of the Woods for taking money from Gold Star Families, Veterans, and Active Duty Servicemen and Women.

  It's a privatized mess. Don't go there. Diamond Lake, Odell Lake, Paulina Lake are MUCH better destinations AND honor "America the Beautiful" passes.

  Filming you while you sleep

  I was warned in advance by several other friends who’ve been here before not to go because the owners can be real jerks. I should have listened. The thing you should be most aware of is that no matter what anyone says, their response will always be: We didn’t do anything because you didn’t tell us about anything and if you told us about it, we would take care of it, we will fix it. You can see that on the reviews when they respond. My answer: BULL. No one wants to have a conversation with them because they are difficult people. The husband owner is a sneak, who only wants to film your“violations” to use against you, if needed later. In my case, filming me while he woke me up in my trailer early in the morning. The wife is a confrontational Gaslighter, who will bounce up onto you, get in your face, put her hands in your face and keep elevating her voice until you go away. Then, they can always use all the recorded footage of you as retribution. Go look at their YouTube channel. They’re openly doing this to people that disagree with them. You can see they actually get off on having the confrontation, recording it,(of course not recording THEIR part of the conversations, the part that got people pissed off, just the part where they have now pissed somebody else off) and then they’ll post it in violation of everyone’s privacy. I own up to my mistake but am not happy with how it was handled, and there’s no way I’m taking it up with them because I figure my being filmed while I wake up will end up on the Internet. My issue is that I brought one mini trailer and one teardrop trailer in a spot(together they’re 26 feet) where Class A and 40ft 5th wheels go. Logically, I’m using less space and less electricity(120 v plugged into our bigger trailer who is plugged into the park) no water, and only have 2 people(total) in site as opposed to the 10 people in the 38 ft trailer next to us, or the six guys with three cars and a boat trailer next to us, or the class 40 ft class a with an enclosed utility trailer that is bigger than my teardrop, but I was sleeping in my extra tow(hence the invader’s spycam to catch me sleeping). So, instead of talking to us about it, they just charged us for an extra site. The gaslighting wife said she emailed me. No she didn’t. She billed me the extra space(without my consent) and her system sent me an invoice, which took you to a site for the terms and conditions. But I’m not checking my email because I’m camping and it looked like the normal invoice I would’ve gotten anyway for the one site…so we don’t find any of this out until after noon—the cutoff to be non refundable. Keep in mind these owners are camping abut 20 feet from me. Why didn’t they just come over and talk to us? If they had, we would have said we disagreed but understood and packed up and leave instead of getting charged two sites again for the night. Instead, they let their office person tell this after 12, and we were past the refund cut off. While I support a business owner’s right to enforce their rules, even if only against us, It should have been discussed with us face-to-face. I mean, if you’re willing to pound on someone’s trailer before they’ve woken up in the morning, and film them in bed as they wake up to open their door, then you know where we are and you know how to get our attention. They took our choice away. They took our privacy away. And they paint themselves as the good guy on these reviews and on their YouTube channel where they are openly enjoying kicking people out of their park. Otherwise, it was an ugly park. Looks nice upfront, but the back sites are horrible. I got burned with scalding water trying to get water for my dog. I got splinters from these god-awful looking tables. There’s a pile of debris right behind us. They run heavy machinery all day. God knows what they’re doing with all the footage they’ve illegally collected over the years. Note to owners: YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO POST MY IMAGE OR LIKENESS ONLINE.

  Wonderful surprise

  Gorgeous wooded campsites along the lake. VERY kind camp host (Mark) who helped me out even tho I arrived late and without rez. Clean facilities. I was in a quiet spot but lots of families/groups even on a weekday evening. Your quiet might depend on luck of who you’re situated with.

  Emigrant Lake Recreation Area - Oak Slope Campground

  Nice experience

  Emigrant Lake may not be your destination if you are looking for a lot of privacy and quiet, but is a nice option to get out in nature while still being close to town. Oak Slope has some spots that can be fairly private, with nice tent camping amenities and easy access to the lakeside.

  great option for free camping

  If you are looking for a free site (during the right time of year) this is a good option. Sites are pretty private with beautiful views of Shasta. Cell service is sketchy so be prepared.

  Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

  This campground is excellent!! Great amenities and very fun.

  The only reason i did not give this a 5 star is the outdated information and no notifications posted of events or schedules.  The don't have a schedule for the theater, it's just random and at the employees discretion from my understanding.  At the splash zone the paperwork was outdated, and had rules for a dock that doesn't exist.  The shower code didn't work.  They advertise a shower near the day use area and there isn't.

  Emigrant Lake Recreation Area - Oak Slope Campground

  Nice Early Summer Spot

  We camped on the slope. Nice view of the lake. Little shade, would be tough in high summer. Lake was full and our dog enjoyed chasing sticks. Camp host Connie was super. Facilities were newer and clean. There is a new bathroom up in the back of the campground that has automatic exhaust fans that are really loud and you have to wait for them to time-out. You might not notice the roar during the day, but if you’re camped nearby in the quiet hours, you will hear them. They are quite robust. Had a couple bars of ATT. For high summer I’d recommend bringing a popup and lots of ice. It’s a 10 minute drive to town or so. Nice place.
