"It's a beautiful area, the campground is located in the middle of Red Bluff Recreation Area. Lot's of nature trails. They have many of the plants and trees recognized by little name tags."
"It says on a sign reservation only, but after driving around to the other spots in red bluff, and feeling great unease, I went ahead and drive in to a spot around 9pm."
"There is a great off leash dog area along a trail next to the river."
"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."
"This is a gem in Red Bluff. CA. You are minutes from I-5 but it is impossible to hear the traffic. Right on the Sacramento River and the skies are remarkably dark."
"This is a great spot close, but not too close to the highway. About 5-7 drive off the highway right next to the Sacramento River. There were about 20-25 sites that need to be booked online."
"Nice spot near the river. We stayed in a tent and just pitched it adjacent to the car park. The ranger came by in the morning just had a little look around and left. Didn’t bother anyone"
"Lots of trails. Sacramento River is within walking distance. Pit toilet, no water or other services."
"Nice dog play area. Away from highway noise. Lots of shade trees."
"We travel with 2 dogs in a 38’ class A with a tow. We did not make reservations just took a chance, success!"
"I was worried at 1stvas there was a situation that was happening when arrive. Police were there surveying which made me feel safe. It was quite through the night."
".
+ Very safe and heavily traffic location. Lots of travelers here spending the evening!"
"Casino nearby has multiple restaurants and entertainment, including golf. Cheap gas for California. Little bit of a hike to clean restrooms. Quiet. Convenient location for traveling down I-5."
"We had our dogs and 5 year old with us. There was a fair amount of space between sites. We all enjoyed a meal at the steak house."

"It would have been a two-hour drive to get to this place from where we were but with all the wildfires in recent years in this part of California, many campgrounds have closed."
"The only issue we had was there was no trashcans anywhere close to us and also our campground happened to be by the entrance and by the busy street, so instead of waking up to birds and nature it was loud"
ScoutDrove over to Deerlick Springs from Red Bluff and the gravel/dirt road from the pavement is pretty nice but I wouldn’t take a trailer in there. The campground is overgrown with weeds/grass and I think the store is a house now. There was one camper in the northeastern part but it looks like he lives there. The toilets need some work, appears they haven’t been pumped since last year. Very disappointing! My grandparents used to go there and get the “water” and take baths in the water. As a kid I used to walk to the store for candy and there was always Bingo to play. I also remember feeding the large tame bucks in the “courtyard”.
ScoutIt's a beautiful area, the campground is located in the middle of Red Bluff Recreation Area. Lot's of nature trails. They have many of the plants and trees recognized by little name tags. So interesting and absolutely gorgeous.
TravelerIt says on a sign reservation only, but after driving around to the other spots in red bluff, and feeling great unease, I went ahead and drive in to a spot around 9pm. I immediately felt much better and more safe here. Had a great sleep and was on my way in the AM. I never interacted with the site host but it looks like the trails and areas around are worth hiking.
GuideI was worried at 1stvas there was a situation that was happening when arrive. Police were there surveying which made me feel safe. It was quite through the night. Lil Dude took advantage of the dog park.
GuideThis place was a very nice spot for any overnight stay on the way up to Oregon. The woman at the front desk was friendly and helpful. There is great shade in our site (A6) and a nice table. Kudos for the large dog park, now if I can only solve for the a*holes who can't be bothered to pick up after their dogs at every dog park I've ever visited. Don't expect a ton of privacy here and the sites are all gravel and/or dirt except for strips of grass in between neighbors. With all that said we will definitely use this as an overnight stop again.
TravelerFull hookups in back in spot for $55. Mostly pull throughs in Park, which cost more. Shower, restrooms, dog park. Propane for sale here.
ScoutThis was a nice short distance away from the i5. Great view of greenery and lake and the night stars. If you happen to have pets be cautious there is a lot of broken glass everywhere, my dog had several cuts on her pads.

We paid $8 per night for a site with our Interagency Senior Pass, no hookups. There are some sites with water and electric for $25 or $12.50 with pass. No sewer dump available.
I did not use the showers or bathrooms. Quarters required for a hot shower. Husband says bathroom was clean.
Beautiful old sycamore trees give this park lots of shade in the hotter months and provide a peaceful setting even in the winter months.
It is only about an hour to Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center at Lassen NP.
In November when we stayed, there were maybe four or five other campers.
We would definitely return when we are driving thru.
LegendSo, we already knew we were in trouble. Lassen Volcanic was closed(it was on fire), which is the whole reason we were here. Lots of smoke, but the campground wasn't in danger. We came in anyway. This was the last stop before we started home.
The campground had a lot of cancellations, so it was unusually quiet. That didn't bother us! We had a back in site- 33. The best site in the campground! It's close to the dog park if you have a dog.
The bathroom/shower is 3 sites down. Very clean.
Also close to the walking trail, basketball/volleyball courts& a neat tree swing. All this is under tall pines. This isn't a large campground, but it's VERY nice. Lots of trees& shady. Has a gift shop at the office.
The pool was open. Lots of hornets& 2 people got stung while in the pool. They have traps out, but the hornets are persistent!
Laundry I didn't use, but it's there if you need it. Everything was very clean. Service was friendly.
So, this is a good base for Lassen Volcanic. Since we couldn't go, there's other things to see. McArthur Burney Falls is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. We also stopped at Subway Cave, which we loved& Hat Creek Rim Overlook(which was a waste of time with the smoke). The rest of the day we chilled at the pool! We will definitely be back someday to see Lassen!
