    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    Great camping for tent or RV

    We highly recommend this campground as they have all the amenities…a general store, boat rental, cabin rental, activities for the kiddos, a dog park and pub. Water, toilets and showers are readily available, though a bit in need of a good coat of paint and showers need cleaning/updating .

    Ripple Creek Cabins

    Great Family Friendly Cabins

    Ripple Creek Cabins are located about an hour north of Weaverville, along the upper Trinity River. Each cabin is self contained and comes with cooking utensils, linens, towels, and full kitchens. There is also a picnic table and BBQ provided for each cabin. The property sits on the bank on the Trinity River, with easy river access for swimming and fishing. There is also a large grassy area for all to use that has bocce ball and horseshoes. There is easy access to the Trinity Alps Wilderness for hikers of all levels, as well as access to Trinity Lake about 20 minutes south for all that the lake has to offer. The cabins are pet friendly and wifi is available. There is no phone service or television. Each cabin has a wood burning stove, shower and toilet, but otherwise are a bit spartan compared to some cabins. But with all the easy access to outdoor activities, all you need is a place to cook, clean up, and sleep. Great to rent for couples, families, or large groups. It is a bit of a drive to Weaverville, so be sure you have all your supplies you need. The small towns of Coffee Creek and Trinity Center are closer, but may not have everything you need. Each town does have a couple of great places to eat during the Summer, specifically Trailhead Pizza in Trinity Center.

    Girard Ridge Lookout

    Spectacular Fire Lookout

    This was our first fire lookout, but will not be our last! The drive up to the lookout was tough at times along well-used, but not really well maintained, logging roads. We had a high-clearance all-wheel drive Subaru Crosstrek and while the all-wheel drive didn't seem super necessary, the high clearance certainly was. The trip to the top took about 45 minutes from Hwy. 5, so be sure you have what you need when you head up there.

    Along the drive up we did see a bear along the side of the road, but other than a few deer and lots of birds and squirrels, not much other wildlife.

    The lookout is great and has two twin or double beds, a table, and a couple of cabinets for storing items. There are no kitchen facilities at this lookout. There is a picnic table and fire ring located on the ground next to the lookout. I don't recall if the table was chained down, but we brought chairs to sit by the fire and enjoy the spectacular views of Castle Crags and Mt. Shasta. There are pit toilets located just a few steps off the road that leads in to the lookout.

    Although you do feel like you are way off the beaten path when you are there, do put your gear away each night and day and lock the door to the lookout and you car as day hikers do come up to the lookout, which is a little weird. Not many when we were there, but a few and we were glad that we locked up our gear as to not tempt anyone.

    The hiking around the lookout isn't fantastic as you are mostly limited to logging roads, but we hiked around a fair amount nonetheless. It would be a great spot to bring mountain bikes, not sure about the legality of dirt bikes on the logging roads.

    The beds were about as bad as you'd expect a bed in a fire lookout to be. We brought our inflatable air mattresses and slept in sleeping bags, but the beds were still really saggy. If you're extra picky about your bed or have back issues you may want to bring an air mattress or something to help stiffen up the bed.

    Bring a spotting scope and/or a telescope as there are some wonderful views west to Castle Crags and north to Mt. Shasta. We couldn't see hikers on Mt. Shasta but did see many going up Castle Crags with our binoculars.

    Overall it was a great space and also worked well with out dog. We set him up with a dog run when we were outside and then he slept in the fire lookout with us as night.

    This will surely be a trip you remember if you stay here. Enjoy!

    Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday

    Mt Shasta KOA

    For once a KOA not next to a freeway. Off the beaten path for a change. Nice grounds. I'm in a basic cabin. It's basic. No ac just a ceiling fan. Nice small queen bed with linens. Within walking distance of good restaurants. RV sites look level and large with trees near most. There is a train occasionally at night that can be annoying. 

    I recommend Mt Shasta KOA.

    Rainbow Bay at Lake of the Woods

    Great spot for the family!

    My entire family has stayed here twice for family reunions and it has been a great spot for the entire family! They have cabins (tiny houses) for rent as well as spots for RVs! The lake is absolutely stunning and a great size for boating and fishing. The tiny cabins do have some critters living in them but as long as you don’t leave food on the counters you should be okay!

    Jubilee Railroad Wilderness Lodge & Campground was Railroad Park Resort

    Did the Job

    We stayed at the Railroad Park Resort near Dunsmuir, CA for 5 nights. It was fine, with a couple small issues.. The rest of the park might be wonderful - converted train cars and cabooses, cabins, and a small motel - but the rv portion sort of felt like the red-headed stepchild. I believe our fees were $280 for 5 nights. Full hook-ups, pull through site (many were back-in only) and zero privacy, although the rv park is in a pretty stand of very thinned trees at the far end of the RRP property. There is a teeny store with some basic supplies and snack foods, and ice and wood available for purchase, wifi advertised, as well as a swimming pool. The bathrooms are decent and include showers. We are a family that prefers a little more privacy away from the world, but this park was our only option as we didn't book until 3 weeks prior to our last minute trip to see family in Dunsmuir. Siskiyou County campgrounds are currently full to brimming, and people are lining up at 6am for the few fcfs sites at the FS campgrounds. Reservations are all booked out until the end of August at least.
    We signed a list of rules when checking in to the RRPR, that include a strict "No marijuana use anywhere on RRP property", yet continually got wafting pot smoke from several other campsites. I complained once, and the young man at the store apologized and made a note about it. Also, the woman working in the store in the mornings and during the day was quite rude and snippy, and reiterated at least 4 times that campground guests were only to use the swimming pool down near the cabooses between 10am and 3pm - as if we weren't to meddle with their upscale guests in the train cars and cabins. It felt a bit awkward, but we did use the nice pool one day when we didn't go swimming in Lake Siskiyou.
    Wifi was advertised and a log on with password provided, but we were unable to log on the entire time we were there.
    There were many huge rv's including full sized busses that seemed to navigate the park just fine, and some tent sites around some of the edges.
    All in all - it was not a fantastic experience, but was alright, and we met a few other wonderful campers which is always a neat experience.
    Sorry - I didn't take any pictures, but there are some decent ones if Googled.

    Girard Ridge Lookout

    Bring your own coziness

    Very nice and tucked away lookout tower facing the castle crags mountains. Lots of flying bugs and high vegetation area. Nice fire pit and picnic table. Bring all your gear. There is absolutely nothing around but what you bring in. Totally off the grid. Oh yeah there is a cell tower that gives you 5 BARS. Live streaming no problem.


Guide to Yreka

Cabin camping near Yreka, California provides access to natural attractions at elevations ranging from 2,500 to 7,000 feet with temperature variations reflecting the region's mountainous terrain. The Klamath National Forest surrounds much of the area, creating a diverse environment of coniferous forests, alpine lakes, and river systems for year-round recreation. Accommodation options range from basic rustic structures to cabins with partial amenities.

What to do

Swimming in alpine lakes: Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort offers a popular swimming area with water activities for visitors staying in their cabins. "Truly an amazing place! I'm looking forward to going back after Covid. We met our family half way and wanted a campground we could all find easily. It's a bit pricey but for the convenience it was well worth it," notes one visitor to Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort.

Hiking the McCloud River trail: The trail system near Cattle Camp Campground connects to swimming holes and scenic waterways. A visitor mentioned, "You can access the McCloud River trail from Camp which gave us the chance to stretch our legs and wear out the dogs. A quick jaunt down the road to access the McCloud River Falls Trail which was definitely worth the early morning visit."

Hot spring soaking: Mineral waters provide therapeutic options for cabin campers wanting alternatives to traditional camping. "On site showers and bathrooms. Developed hot pool for day use, with a discount if you are staying there overnight. Sauna and steam room available. An amazing peaceful place to be just outside of Ashland," explains a visitor to Jackson Wellsprings.

What campers like

Proximity to Mount Shasta: The iconic mountain serves as a backdrop for many cabin locations, creating memorable outdoor experiences. A visitor to Cattle Camp Campground noted, "This was a great, quiet collection of sites under tall pines. Not far from McCloud and Weed, and easy access to Medicine Lake and other recreation areas are nearby."

Railroad-themed accommodations: Unique lodging options include restored train cars converted to cabins. "Great resort. Guests have the option of bringing their own RV, staying in a tent, or lodging in train cars that have been converted into hotel rooms. Large pool on site, along with a rustic restaurant with great steaks!" shares a visitor to Jubilee Railroad Wilderness Lodge.

Lakeside amenities: Cabin sites with lake access offer multiple recreational opportunities. "We took 2 small children in a rented camper and went to this lake on a recommendation from friends in Mt. Shasta. We were not disappointed! They were plenty of trees in the campground, everybody was friendly, short walk with our water toys to the nice sandy beach and lake," notes a visitor at Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort.

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Many cabin facilities close during winter months. "We love it here. However, it's super popular and we only go in the off season due to too many people booking in advance," advises one regular visitor to Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort.

Campfire smoke levels: Cabins in heavily wooded areas can experience smoke accumulation during busy periods. "Checked in on a Saturday night and got an RV campsite. The map showed the site as being close to the water but you are actually quite a ways and can't really see it. On a down side, campground was super smokey. Felt like we were in the middle of a fire."

Staffing variations: Office hours can be unpredictable at smaller cabin operations. A visitor to Yreka RV Park noted, "The office has unpredictable hours, but they are flexible enough to work with. The park is clean with plenty of shade trees."

Tips for camping with families

Water recreation options: Multiple swimming areas cater to different age groups. "This is a neat little mountain campground with a nice little lake. It has a nice beach, boat ramp, party boat rentals, general store, restaurant, bar, arcade, laundry," shares a repeat visitor to Howard Prairie Lake Resort.

Booking strategy: Reserve well in advance for family-oriented cabin sites. "This is definitely a campground for families, not much privacy between spots, they are all pretty much right next to each other. If you're looking for a more secluded, private campground I wouldn't recommend this."

Animal awareness: Wildlife encounters require proper food storage at cabin sites. "Beware of the chipmunks, they will eat the food right off your plate if left unattended too long," warns a camper at Cattle Camp Campground.

Tips from RVers

Campsite selection: Choose sites based on shade and proximity to amenities rather than advertised views. "Best hook up site #13 due to privacy. Pretty trees and little creek for pups to splash around. The train cars are close by to visit via trail. It was quiet and very clean," recommends an RV visitor to Jubilee Railroad Wilderness Lodge.

Cell service reliability: Coverage varies significantly between providers. "This campground has full hookups, a WiFi that is good enough to stream and it's not a parking lot, good for tents and RV's," notes a visitor. Another traveler added, "We have t-mobile and we did not have a signal on the campgrounds/resort, but as soon as you get on the I-5 signal picks back up."

Pet accommodations: Most cabin providers allow pets for additional fees. "We stopped here when we were so tired we couldn't drive any further. Staff was wonderful and we had a shady spot. We didn't use the amenities other than the site. Would stop again."
