Best Tent Camping near Montague, CA

Beautiful spot at the foot of Mt. Shasta! Lovely little town I’ve stayed here twice now once in April and once in august. They have four tent camping sites with electric hookup and fancy seating among many other types of sites

Stayed in a tent site for some car camping. The sites are well spaced out and offer a lot of privacy. Tons of amenities. Showers are free!

, but it appears as though the folks in their RVs were happy as could be so I would say for tent camping if you’re actually camping, not so much but in an RV it’s probably fine anyway, the people were very nice and took care of us

Nice, lots of amenities. Minus one star because of the cold shower that should have been hot. Other than that, the beach is nice, the tent sites are nice. A bit bustling busy during the summer, great for kids

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.

relaxed atmosphere and reasonably priced for car and tent camping, plus camping fees include access to the rejuvenating sulphur-rich hot spring pool, swimming pool and sauna. this is right in the Ashland/Medford metro area so is very convenient for travel days when you have things to do in town. also hosts interesting events like yoga classes and live music!

Fish Lake reaper is located on the beautiful Fish Lake. We had a tent site and it was huge! However limited privacy. This is definetly a RV campground. You will be right next to your neighbor. However, the staff are friendly and the restaurant was good. They even had live music.

This is a great place to stay that has all you could need! Cell reception, WiFi, pool, hot tub, Ashland is like 5 minutes away, restrooms, even a sauna! Clothing is optional in the pool area let at night so be aware if you’re not into that or have kids. tent sites aren’t separated meaning you pitch your tent in an area where everyone else does. Other than that, I Highly recommend!

Named for a unique tree that grows here, Tree of Heaven Campground is a sweet little spot. I had tent site right on the river and nearly had the place to myself. Basically it’s set up as a loop with a large grassy area and restrooms in the middle, and a put in spot for rafters up near the larger beach. Peak summer months are very warm and ticks are plentiful, especially in the grassy areas.

Truly and amazing place! I’m looking forward to going back after Covid. We met our family half way and wanted a campground we could all find easily. It’s a bit pricey but for the convenience it was well worth it! Tent sites are huge and so is the campground! We stayed pretty far away from the beach and we were all by ourselves! Might try some of the dispersed camping in the area and use the campground day use and store next time?

I did not camp overnight here, but spent the day sitting with my laptop in the soft grass under a big shady tree. This is a well-maintained city park that is friendly to tent camping. They ask for a $5 fee. Shower tokens can be purchased at Ray's Market, located a few blocks away. Restrooms are open to the public. There is a charging station and hiker's box that was full of good stuff. They have a nice picnic shelter and plenty of space to enjoy. The town has nice restaurants and cafes all in walking distance.

The pools are nice to soak and the general vibe is good. The campground is old and worn down which I don't mind much, but it is junky feeling. There are many long term residents with lots of junk in their spaces. Some are decked out with a creative spirit other are just garbage. The playground has lots of old degrading riding toys and tent camping is basically a field. We had an RV site with partial hookups and it was barely maintained. We ended up leaving a day early.

Three stars for the pool on its own.

My family and I stayed a couple nights and we had a very relaxing time. The pier close by was perfect for Bass fishing. Not alot of boat activity which was nice. Tent camp areas were a decent size. We did see a few RV spots being used as well with hook ups. Lots of Hiking available and the owners are nice. They keep the sites clean and are very helpful if you need anything. Their water comes in daily so they say try not to wash dishes or use excessive amounts. Would recommend for a quick trip.

I first came here with my family back in the 1970’s and had such a great time I couldn’t help coming back for a visit all these years later, gladly much hasn’t changed. The resort is rustic and beautiful and everything you need. The lake is right there and the views are spectacular. Some tent sites are steps away from the shore, and other sites have hook ups for rigs. This is a great jump off spot to Klamath Falls & Crater Lake or just short drives to explore the surroundings.

General: There are tent sites, partial hookups, and full hookup sites, as well as cabins and cabooses that can accommodate either couples or families. It was pouring when we were there, so we opted to stay in a caboose! There is also a dining car

Site Quality: The camping sites are nestled among the trees; some are pull-throughs and others are back-in (mostly the tent sites). Most of the sites appeared level, but not all of them (beware of Site 34). The pull-throughs in the center are less private (but I believe these are the ones with full hookups). The best sites in my opinion are the ones that back up to Little Castle Creek. Especially after a good rain, you can be lulled to sleep by the sound of the rushing creek! 

Bathhouse: Keypad entry so I was not able to see the inside (we stayed in a caboose and therefore did not have entry). There are showers and also a very nice laundry facility. 

Activities: There is a pool in season and also a hot tub that was open when we were there. It is covered but it was cold and rainy, so we didn’t try it out. There is a short hike at nearby Hedge Creek Falls and you are close to Mount Shasta. 

We stayed here 25 years ago in a caboose with our daughters, and it was nice to see the place has been kept up nicely. We would definitely return and stay in the campground next time (weather permitting).

The first time we saw Trailer Lane it took our breath away. A quaint little old campground tucked into the forests of Siskiyou County, with the most spectacular views of Mount Shasta from its chaparral covered hilltop, we felt like we had found a hidden gem.

We've spent the past 2 years updating and upgrading the campground, adding tent sites and a camp store, unlimited Starlink WiFi, game courts, glamping units, community fire pit, gardens and hobby farm... our guests really seem to be loving the homey atmosphere and say that it's the perfect place to stop & stay a while. We hope that you do too! -Karen & Jay

When I'm up in Mt. Shasta this is where I camp. It's easy for both vanlife and tent camping as well as car camping. 

I hesitate to tell anyone about this place because it's one of the less expensive campgrounds in the state, has a group camp, and the sites are far enough apart to offer some privacy. It's very basic. No showers. But there are vault toilets. The running water comes down the mountain in the form of a creek, and there is a water pump at the well for those who would rather not test their constitution with the stream. 

The elevation is not as high as Panther Meadows and the access to the camp at McBride is easier.

Deer wander through the campground and sometimes visit the tents.

Bring everything you need or plan on running into town (about seven miles) to go shopping or out for meals. It's about another seven or eight miles to the Old Ski Bowl trail head where both campers and locals gather to watch the sun rise or set over the mountains.

The lake is beautiful! Perfect swimming temperature. Lots of fish from Bass, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout. It's surprisingly clear too. The campground was very clean, there are 23 campsites. Each one has a USFS fire pit and a USFS water bucket for your fire. The site sizes are great for tent camping and trailer. Not much for firewood though. If you drive down the road a mile or so and just walk into the woods a little ways, you can find a bunch of decent firewood. Lots of shade and sun in most of the campsites. There are 4 pit toilets that they keep pretty clean. They also have drinkable water that comes from a spring at the top of the nearby mountain. There is a 1.5 mile hike around the lake that is completely paved. I took my wife and kids there for a few days and everybody loved it. We will definitely be back.

I car camped here based on another person's review. To add to her's I did not use a free shower unless you are able to get the code for the bathrooms at the campground from another camper then you can take a free shower. This facility offers RV camping, tps, and I'm open field for tent camping. The facility itself offers a hot soaking pool at 120 degrees that is fed from the hot springs, and a pool that is about 75°. They have restrooms, showers, and private bath houses that you can rent. There are a few snacks and locally made items inside the office. I do have drinking water and free bathroom use around the back side of the building. For car camping there is no shade just a gravel parking lot. There's also an older mobile home park in this area that is separated by a fence from the main facility which is where I can't. I felt safe I did however go stealth camping out of habit.
There are walking trails around the property including a gigantic garden of veggies and flowers. I did pay $15 for a half day use, 9:30 to 4:30, of the hot soaking & regular pools. You are allowed to bring food and drink in just no glass.
