What to do
Fishing at Hat Creek: Hat Creek Resort & RV Park provides direct water access for anglers. "Fishing 10 steps from our Trailer... we caught trout all morning. Wonderful place," notes Frank P., highlighting the convenience for fishing enthusiasts.
Explore Lassen Volcanic National Park: Hat Creek Resort & RV Park serves as a convenient base camp for visiting Lassen. "12 minute drive to Park entrance. Otherwise, you are in the middle of nowhere. 20 minutes to a grocery store," reports Kristi D., who appreciated the proximity to natural attractions.
Visit the Subway Cave: This lava tube formation makes for an interesting side trip from local campgrounds. "Campground is close to other fishing, the Subway Cave (ya gotta go there) Lassen National Park entrance and much more," recommends Outdoordude D., suggesting multiple activities in the region.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Susanville RV Park receives positive reviews for maintenance. "This park is very nice all concrete sites and manicured and watered grass areas. Picnic tables at all the sites," writes Paul M., though he notes "they lock the showers and bathrooms from 7pm to 7am."
River access: Little Bear RV Park offers water recreation options. "You are right next to a river that you can tube down, and shade from the trees is perfect on a hot day," explains Kelsea R., highlighting natural amenities that enhance camping experiences.
Helpful staff: Movin' West RV Park prioritizes customer service. "Check in was super easy with the host George escorting us to our site," reports Corinne D., who also mentioned that "Memorial day weekend George hosted camp-wide dinner of BBQ tri-tip and kielbasa. Was nice not to have to cook."
What you should know
Limited shower facilities: Some campgrounds have restricted bathroom access. At Susanville RV Park, "the one thing that was bothersome was they lock the showers and bathrooms from 7pm to 7am," according to Paul M.
Variable cell service: Connectivity differs significantly between locations. At Hat Creek Resort & RV Park, "Internet on my phone was hit or miss outside. They offered internet for a cheap price. $1.95 a day," notes Kristi D.
Road conditions: Access to some sites requires planning. Whitehorse Campground presents challenges as "the biggest downfall of this area is the hour long drive with a trailer down the wash board road," cautions Ty G.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Clio's Rivers Edge RV Park offers recreation options for children. "Kid friendly with activities and play areas. The kids scootered and rode bikes along the camp roads, and drivers were cautious and patient," shares Corinne D.
Clean shower facilities: Family campers appreciate maintained facilities. "The showers are extremely clean, private, and comfortable. Seems like everyone complied with 'camp shower' guidelines as I had good water pressure and hot water for my short but satisfying shower," reports Corinne D. about Clio's Rivers Edge.
Swimming opportunities: Honey Lake Campground offers water recreation for families. "The rv spaces look out over the lake tent camping in the back but you still have lake views," notes Mama J., describing the natural water features accessible to campers.
Tips from RVers
Level parking: Finding stable sites matters for RV owners. Days End RV Park provides "very clean, full hook ups, can accommodate big rigs," according to Seathrough H., who adds that "the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is that there is nothing around to do."
Site spacing considerations: Some parks have limited separation between units. At Movin' West RV Park, "it would be even better if there was more space between each RV spot. It feels like your neighbor is right there in your business all the time," observes Jeff B.
Hookup access issues: Setup logistics can affect comfort. At Days End RV Park, C.W. noted that "the only con would be limited shade as the trees are still growing and the slight elevation of the sewage connection," highlighting practical challenges for RV travelers.
