    Oak Flat Campground

    Beautiful and peaceful *on weekdays*

    Quiet and peaceful, watch elk, birds, lizards, toads/frogs on weekdays. All but the hardiest of wildlife and people should avoid the weekends. We finally learned our lesson after every Friday and/or Saturday over the years has been disrupted by people yelling and/or blasting music, running dogs off leash, and then (last trip) racing dirt bikes through the campground until 1 am.

    Perry Riffle Trailhead

    Simple but clean and nice level sites with picnic tables

    Just staying one night on my way to Nevada but this is an easy location with decent cell service and a clean bathroom and garbage receptacles in a hiking and equestrian area

    Perry Riffle Trailhead

    Great spot for a short stop over

    This is just a gravel parking lot, but it's quiet, peaceful, and about a 2 min walk from the river. Several horse and hiking trails start from here. There's a pit toilet, garbage, and recycling. We enjoyed our stay for one night, but I wouldn't want to stay here for more than a few days. It was roasting in August; the river was a nice way to cool off.

    Red Bluff KOA Journey

    Messed up reservations, staff rude.

    This campground has a lot of live ins: there animals are not well behaved, barked most of the night, stray cats wandering around bothering our animals.  We made reservations and reserved a campsite number, was not told we had to pay $25 more to reserve a site, they put us in the site I requested not to have, the excuse was the computer rearranged the campsite. Asked to speak to management who never appeared and lady at desk was rude.

    Butte Meadows Campground

    Great Find

    Nice find while traveling through the area. Very quiet and clean campground. The creek running through the campground was nice for our dog. It is bear country and many other campers weren’t keeping there areas bear proofed throughout the day. Found some bear scat with candy wraps in the scat and that was found in site 1. Definitely will come back again.

    The Parkway RV Resort & Campground

    Great Place to stop on I-5

    We needed a place to camp for the night, and Parkway was in the right location.  We booked through the Dyrt, but the campground's booking site was almost as easy.  We needed to move our reservation to one night earlier, and the camp staff graciously made it happen.  When we arrived, the sites were clean and orderly, and there was actually grass and level parking spots.  The full hookups worked great and it turned out to be just what we needed.  We also found a local panaderia for breakfast pastries that were delicious.  This was exactly what we needed.

    Bees Make For Unbearable Experience

    We thought we got a prime river spot, it was spacious and had a private path right to the river. However lots of kids from a neighboring campsite would frequently tromp thru our site loudly to visit the spot. Then came the bees. It was almost impossible to cook or eat without being swarmed by hundreds of them. We would have to cook fast and run to our tent and quickly zip the door to be able to eat. The vault bathroom were absolutely disgusting and dirty. Then to top it off we were hit with a huge windstorm storm that knocked trees down all over the campground— including one that blocked our car in. The camp host was absolutely no help to anyone. Had no way to contact anyone for help. We will never go back and I do not recommend this campground to anyone.

    Sycamore Grove (red Bluff) Campground

    June 2025

    I booked this campground to stay overnight heading south. Temp was 104 degrees so wanted electricity for air. For an overnight stay that’s cheap, then this would be your spot. It was $33 for a night with water and electricity. Sites were flat.

    For the campground itself, it is not somewhere I’d want to spend the weekend. There are clearly lots of people that are there full time living in tents with lots of junk and trash piled up at their site. Several campsites had 4-6 dogs tied up to trees all day long. Also a good bit of people walking around with no leashes. Saw 2 dog fights in the 24 hours that I was there. I wasn’t even comfortable walking my dogs around the loop. Picnic table was disgusting. Besides taking my dogs potty we stayed in rv.

    Cell service is ok, but starlink worked great. Never went into bath houses to scope out. There is a boat ramp/day use area for fisherman.

    Red Bluff KOA Journey

    Nice clean KOA

    This is a nice KOA with larger sites than some KOAs. It is super well-maintained with nice amenities including pool, small dog area, basketball court, horseshoe area, club house. Bathrooms are modern and well-maintained. Our site near the fountains was pull- or back-in. We pulled in for a nice view. Staff was welcoming. There is some road noise from highway 5 but since we are running the A/C it is not noticeable. Good through stop when heading north.
