Best Glamping near Whiskeytown National Recreation Area

Beautiful, quiet campground with nice views of Lewiston Lake. The glamping units have the best view so I hope to check those out next time.

We had the campground to ourselves as they hadn’t put up the glamping tents yet. We set our tents up on the platforms and had a great view of the lake and trinity alps in the distance. Birds and frogs were in abundance. The lake was too cold for swimming and the fish were hanging out in deep water so no swimming or successful fishing. This campground is hilly and one must pack gear down or up to one’s spot which was a pain but once settled it was a fun and relaxing time, pre-season.

Drive in and group camp spots with some sites right off the lake (though some spots had rocky beaches). Pretty views of the lake! Bathrooms, trash, and yurts available.

We stayed 2 nights in late October and were the only campers beside the host. There are 2 pull thru sites (10 & 12), we stayed in 10 in our 40' coach with tow. Flush toilets in 2 different buildings, no soap or hot water at the sinks, however. All sites have a nice picnic table and fire pit. Lots of water spigots throughout the campground but they don't have threads to allow a hose to hookup. There are also a few decent size garbage bins that are bear proof. Maybe it's the time of the year or lack of campers but the host wasn't ever seen. Lots of sites had litter here & there and the fire pits contained the previous camper's trash. Garbage bins were nearly full. The trees over the main road need trimming, lots of branches scratching the motorhome roof unnecessarily. Lake Shasta was really low so we didn't attempt to scramble down to the water. $25/night without discounts for a basic site. Yurts are more. 50% discount for golden or access National pass.

I am in LOVE with this place!!!! I have been to many lakes in northern California but nothing as perfect as this place. I accidentally booked a spot here at Siskiyou but meant to go to lake Shasta and boy was luck on my side!!! We drove past lake Shasta on our way here and it didnt have many trees and it was 104 degrees. We drove another 40 or so minutes to lake Siskiyou and the trees are so beautiful and you have the most gorgeous view of lake Shasta! Do yourself and your family a favor and book your next camping trip here!

Excellent Verizon signal. Very clean. The only negative was it appeared to be many long term residents. Also the water park next to the campground was closed

Great campsite. Nicely laid out, lovely landscaping, great amenities (including a small gym with free weights), super clean and functional bathrooms. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

My family and I were recently evacuated from my home due to a wildfire. We are fortunate enough to have an RV and were able to get to an evacuation area. After staying a few days in the evacuation zone, we needed to refill our water and empty our tanks so I visited Boulder Creek.

I offered to pay for some water and for use of their dump station. I was immediately met with the following statement by their front desk employee: “It’s 20 bucks to dump and I don’t do water fills.” 

I’ve met some of the kindest and most gracious people during this incident, but I was disgusted as I walked out and noticed the freshly watered little planters full of flowers and the lack of humanity or even an attempt at kindness shown by Boulder Creek’s employees. 

I highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Redding to find somewhere else.

We loved ending our weeklong road trip here! This hidden gem was a lucky find! The grounds were beautiful, and included a small waterfall & koi pond, and a play structure for the littles.

The property managers were extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful. The amenities were exceptionally clean, and the sites themselves were tidy with all the necessary hookups. Free WiFi provided, and laundry room on site as well.

We honestly didn’t want to leave.

Highly recommend!!!!

Refreshing staff, pull thru’s, and quiet, even though the freeway isn’t too far away. Little store with stuff. At the time it was fire season & Covid, so bathrooms were closed. Good for overnight stop while traveling south.

Mid-July, 114 degrees and their pool is closed!!! At $90+ per night expect better. Staying elsewhere next time in Redding.

Mountain Gate is a comfortable park to stay.  It is relatively quiet as it is off the Highway.

We would stay here again.  I recommend you check it out.

Beautiful setting, nice sites, friendly staff, and clean bathrooms. Only downside was the highway noise.

Excellent after hour Service. Very clean rv park

Great rv park! Patti is super accommodating and helpful. It’s nice for a stop over or a couple of weeks while exploring the Shasta area.

We loved our stay. We felt safe and it’s probably one of the most cleanest campground and facilities I’ve ever been to. Clean bathrooms, showers, zero trash around. All around a great visit. Perfect spot if you are traveling with a pet. Highly recommend.

Well maintained and clean park. Actually has grass, not all gravel. Sites level. Nice pool and laundry room. One night stay and arrived late so did self check in...no password for bathrooms were given, so asked a neighbor for a password. One of the restrooms was shut down for repairs. Too pricy.

Super cool spot right by the lake , they have it all here even a pool ! The jungle gym for the kids was sweet and a cool tree house … the kids loved it but it was a lil pricey .

Very quite campground mid week. Had the place to ourselves. Great little hiking trail steps from our site. Easy access to the water for some swimming. Smoke blew in from wildfires. Visibility very low but still beautiful.

Stayed here this last weekend and wasn’t sure how hot it would be. Luckily the weather was so amazing especially being right next to this beautiful clear clean lake. We stayed at site 14, across from us was a small path that lead you down to the water. We took tubes out and laid in the water and soaked up the sun, it was so nice. It’s especially so calming because there isn’t a million boats on the lake partying and such it’s just quiet and calm water. You do have to do a light hike up the the campsite, cause the sites are sloped. It’s not bad though. The views are incredible as the sun is rising, peaking through the mountains glistening over the lake. There’s a bathroom in front of site 12, but doesn’t have light. And there are flushable toilets near the entry of the campground but also no lights. There isn’t a camp store, so you do need to buy firewood and ice up the street from Lewiston gas station. About 10 minutes passed the campground is pine cove marina where you can rent out boats, and kayaks. They have very reasonable prices! The water down this part of Lewiston lake was definitely a lot colder, like icy cold. But since it was super warm when we went out (96 degrees) the water was very enticing, on a tube! Overall, this campground is so beautiful and peaceful. There is a campground host but they mostly keep to themselves. I liked that the campground only had 17 sites, it made our experience feel more personal.

So pretty. Did the normal tent camping which is nice at the upper campsites, got a paddle board and pretty much had the whole lake to ourselves
