    East Park Reservoir

    We had the entire campground to ourselves

    We stayed here on a weekday in early October and we were the only ones in the entire campground. We picked a spot right on the water and got to enjoy the amazing views and sounds from the geese. The views were incredible no matter which way we looked, especially at sunset.

    Porta potties and pit toilets throughout the campground. The road to the campground was a bit bumpy.

    Campground fee can be paid via a QR code.

    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.

    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

    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.
