  Don’t waste your time

  Long drive on a narrow bumpy levy road to find a full time trailer park. NOT A RV RESORT!

  Parkway RV Resort & Campground

  Stopover served its purpose well

  We stopped here on our way back from Oregon. Unfortunately, we arrived late and left early so we didn’t really get to enjoy the amenities. We were in site A10 which we found a little difficult to connect the sewer hose without two hoses. The family room was handicap accessible and included a shower, sink, changing table and a toilet. Even though we were far from the office the internet access was strong. Overall, the stopover served its purpose well, providing a restful break before the last leg of our trip home.

  Orland Buttes

  2nd review, by me!

  Heh, well, there's only one other review for this place, and it's from me from 2 years ago. So I won't repeat it all, because basically everything is the same except:

  • The showers were fine this time, not gross
  • There was no host on site
  • The water fill station at the dump station was functional and we filled our tanks no problem

  We arrived mid week with no reservations and the place was practically empty. It filled up on the weekend with loud partiers but overall it was a quiet and pleasant experience.

  Great place to camp! Read my last review for more details!

  Butte Meadows Campground

  Great location near Chico

  This site is awesome, right on the river, close to the cal fire station and walking distance to the local Butte Meadows businesses. So many great hiking trails near by and it is about an hour from lake Almanor.

  Buckhorn Recreation Area

  Spacious, Good views

  We just spent one night in sight 6 with our 24’ camper and we had a good experience. Didn’t really have neighbors too close and had a great view of the lake. It only took a couple minutes to get down to the water, however, there aren’t a lot of places to sit and relax for the day (i.e. not many beach spots) close by. The site itself was mostly level side to side but our back stabilizers were nearly fully extended (with blocks) and the front ones we barely had to put out. The water spigot is close-by but in an awkward spot where other folks were skirting the boundary of our campsite to get to. It’s close to the bathrooms/showers which we didn’t use much, they were mostly clean but were inundated with insects. Note: there were LOTS of bugs everywhere when in late May and early June.

  Solitude

  Nice camp ground, if you want solitude. Lots of birds chirping around. There is a small creek flowing. Clean toilets.

  Remote on river

  Parking spot was good and level. Hosts were very nice and helpful. Bathrooms were horribly maintained. We ended up going to Truck Stop for a shower.

  Blue Oak Campground

  Cool but extremely noisy.

  If your going camping here for peace and quiet think again. Popular spot just 1 mile up the road where people go to drink and shoot their firearms. Also constant atv/dirt bike activity. Not any firewood available so bring some. Every site has a little fire pit and a bench. Pit toilet bathroom in the middle of the site. Other than the noise it’s a great little site! Only 6 spots. So first come first serve! 8 mile unpaved road no need for 4wd but would help.

  Red Bluff RV Park

  No bad!

  We travel with 2 dogs in a 38’ class A with a tow. We did not make reservations just took a chance, success! The woman at the counter was very nice and cheerful they did have a spot that we would fit without unhitching. This is an older park so we were somewhat squished together but not bad. Very nice dog area (not fenced). Seemed to be mostly long term river’s here. Not bad for a one night stay. Those with longer rigs 40+ may want to think twice because of the tight turns and narrow lanes

  Sycamore Grove (red Bluff) Campground

  Nice overnight stop on my way home

  It is a nice campground for a one night stop. Easy access right off hwy 5 and surprisingly quiet being so close. The camp hosts were nice, I would like to see the hosts do a little more maintenance around the CG. Clean up would be nice. Cigarette butts in the bbq, trash in the fire pit. Didn’t use the showers but the bathroom was average, needed a code to access which was emailed when we registered online. Not a more than one night place for me but nice enough.

  Old Mill Campground

  Great secluded camp with views

  Nice relaxing camp, 5 - 10 sites. No water, 1 pit toilet. Quiet and beautiful area. Follow the M5 route from M10 coming from Stonyford. Don't rely on Google maps or you'll spend hours trying to reroute after trying to drive up a ATV trail. Beautiful single lane dirt road up the mountain once on M5, steep drop offs. Dusty with mild bumps and some wash boarding. 2wd truck easily. Maybe if your adventurous in a civic. Must obtain a permit to have a fire, easily obtained online or through local forest service office.

  River Reflections RV Park

  Right on the Feather River

  Location is great especially if you have a boat to launch or just enjoy being at the river.

  Campsites were nicely laid out. Being in the summer, busy as you might expect. Walking around, it looked like several were  full time residence not necessarily camp hosts. Some had spider webs growing on them they were sitting so long, others were taking a part, repairing and painting their RV's. Sierra Nevada brewing was a 20 minute ride in the event you are looking to slake a thirst in the hot weather.  Staff member Chera was great with the reservations and information.

  Lovely oaks, no river access

  Reservations.gov implied campground was full, we took a chance for the night and MANY SPOTS WERE AVAILABLE! But river access has been eroded in this last year so access is down the way at the county park (under the busy roadway, meh). But beautiful oaks, and a fine spot for the night. Friendly staff and campground hosts

  Letts Lake Campground

  Love this Lake

  Great camping and fishing. Lots of smaller bass and trout. Nice remote lake with amenities. The M10 as down when we went up so we needed to take the M5 which requires a 4x4 high clearance vehicle.

  Sycamore Grove (red Bluff) Campground

  Nice, small, largely quiet CG

  We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 11 for 4 days in mid May. The CG is clean, quiet(except for some I-5 road noise) and fairly well maintained, except for the low hanging branches that could use some trimming around the CG loop and on the drive in/out. The CG varied from half to 3/4 full over the weekend. The men’s shower had a sign that there was not hot water and my wife said she’d not use the women’s bathroom or shower as they were a little nasty. There are several nice walking trails around the recreation area. There is also a nice winery, Tuscan Ridge Estate, about 10 miles west of town. AT&T coverage was very fair, ranging from 1-2 bars of 5G, with speeds up to 3MB/s. Site 11 has one large tree at the back of the site that provided some welcome shade, especially in the afternoon when temps were pushing the mid 90s, but it didn’t block access the western DISH satellites. Starlink had speeds between 2 and 14 MB/s. We didn’t try any OTA channels with our fixed omni antenna.

  Ghetto

  The owner of the park is a spineless bastard fired the best manager they had because he couldn't handle the truth the park is going downhill now they got a drunk running the damn place the manager Pam they're so called on site manager doesn't know what he is doing and it's going to end up burning the place down if code enforcement would come through and inspect that Park they would shut it down I would not go here unless you like to deal with druggies are people that call you Liars like the owners who don't know what the hell they're doing . People that are giving this place a good review only stayed here maybe 2 days but it is more of a full-time Park so they really don't know what they're talking about. And don't even get me started on all the cameras they have all over that Park including watching the bathrooms now where the cameras are at and what they're watching God only knows place is lit up like a prison but then it has to be because they have nothing but child molesters and drug dealers living there

  Good for passing through

  I stay here a lot as I pass through. Every single time there has been a methhead staying who is a ranting and raving lunatic dropping f-bombs this and m-fer that for the whole campground to hear. If they stopped taking cash it would fix a lot of problems separating vagrants from true nomads.

  Kids had fun

  We went in late October but weather was nice and the grandkids had fun, spaces a little close but had fairly level concrete pad. Store is small but right down the street is a well stocked general store with a great little deli, had numerous people tell us the double burgers were to die for. Only small complaint was we couldn't get the cable to work and don't count on a strong internet, couldn't get anything but just used phone as a hotspot so kids could watch a movie. If you go definitely pay the little extra for the river front very nice views. All in all nice time and grandkids already asking to go back.

  Pretty hills and nice lake

  This was a short one night stop on a camping roadtrip but it was nice. The park was beautiful and on the way in we passed a bison conservation area nearby which was cool. Falling asleep to the shrieks of distant coyotes was cool too. Heard lots of critters in the night, owls, deer, rabbits. In the morning was woken up by woodpeckers. Site 22 was huge and had plenty of space for our two tents and more. Our loop was full of RVs full of people having a great time. Weather was perfect and couldn’t ask for a better night in the middle of nowhere.
