    Southern Oregon RV Park

    Park with all the bells

    We stay here often on our migration from PNW to the Desert for winter. It is a extremely well run park, with immaculate bathrooms and well groomed sites. Sites have concrete pad, fire pit and table with FHU. An easy off of Highway 5 and close to Costco and many restaurants. Small lake/pond with walking trail around and extra large Dog Park.

    Waiiaka RV Park

    Good place to stop for the night

    We stayed overnight on the way to New Mexico. It was clean, quiet, close enough to the freeway to be convenient without being loud. Dog park and playground were small, campsite were packed close together. It was generally nice but unremarkable.

    Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday

    Relaxation in the trees

    Cute town and peaceful campground. Clean bathrooms and showers. Pool, game room, shuffle board, basketball court and off leash dog park. Lots of trees in the sites great for hammocking (in the tent sites). I would definitely stay here again.

    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 .

    Nice & Clean RV Park, Tight Spaces

    I stayed at this park with my daughter and dog for one night while passing through.

    The facilities are very clean, showers have nice hot water for a minimal fee.

    The dog park is small, but well maintained with poop bags on site for your use.

    The RV Park workers were fantastic, checked on us during set up to make sure we had what we needed.

    There are obviously quite a few long term renters at the park, but they showed pride in there homes and area. Everyone’s areas were clean and orderly, and the park was incredibly quiet.

    Only down side is the sites are tightly packed together. My door was only a couple off feet off of my neighbors hook ups. When the camper next to us packed up in the morning, we were outside by our door. The smell of sewage was pretty strong, we just went in our camper and waited for him to finish up.

    Worth a stop for the money if your going to be in the area.

    Southern Oregon RV Park

    Clean, quality, well managed

    Nice landscaping, mainly level paved sites, a little grass and cement for picnic table. Entirely fenced for security although people are getting in at front entrance. Noticed people biking through in middle of night. Small dog area; too small. Not enough places to walk dog on grass; almost entire park is paved. Trail outside park is long but right next to I5. Traffic noise in park is intense. 14 day max stay. Very nice hosts. Facilities are top notch. Trash cans well distributed throughout park for convenience as are shower/restroom facilities. Someone is feeding feral cats! Severe nuisance!!

    Trailer Lane Campground

    Great place to stay!

    Wonderful place to stay! Very nice little campground in Weed, CA. We originally were just stopping for the night so I had reserved a 50 amp pull thru, but we had some problems with our fifth wheel and my husband wanted some shade to work on it. Karen was nice enough to juggle reservations and get us in a 30 amp back in that had shade. Plus, we ended up staying for two nights. Karen was very accommodating and helpful and we really appreciated it! The campground is fun, has some outdoor games, a small dog park, and a community fire pit. And visiting the goats and chickens was definitely a bonus! I highly recommend Trailer Lane Campground and would definitely stay there again! We didn't use the bathrooms or laundry.

    Tree Of Heaven Campground

    Good for a pitstop

    We were looking for something about halfway between SF and Portland. This was a convenient spot since it's close enough to the Oregon border, located close to Yreka and just far enough off the 1-5 to make you feel like you're off the beaten path. The camp is right on the Klamath! It's a pretty typical campground. Good tree cover but not a lot of privacy between spots. It served the purpose we needed and would consider using it again for pitstops, but nothing so special that I'd go out of my way to spend several days there unless you planned on finding river access to play in the Klamath.


Guide to Yreka

Camping near Yreka offers tent and RV sites across rugged terrain at elevations between 2,500-4,000 feet. The region experiences hot summers where temperatures frequently reach 90°F and cold winters with occasional snow, making spring and fall ideal camping seasons. Water access varies significantly between campgrounds, with some offering creekside sites while others require campers to bring their own water supply.

What to do

Creek exploration: Beaver Creek Campground provides a natural water feature for hot days. "The creek running along the campground was perfect for an afternoon splash when it gets hot and provides a nice ambiance at night," notes Craig M., who adds that the remote location requires preparation: "There's no store nearby that I know of, so make sure you've got everything before you get there."

Fishing opportunities: Multiple waterways around Yreka offer fishing access. "Plenty of firewood laying around if you need it. Bring an ax or a chainsaw, I'm sure the forest service won't mind the help," mentions Craig M. about Beaver Creek's resources for longer stays while fishing the area.

Mountain biking: The trails near Mount Ashland Campground offer extensive riding options. "What a lovely place to post up for a night or two. Pit toilets. No water. Hiking. Mountain biking," notes ArboursAbroad, highlighting the recreational options beyond just camping.

What campers like

Free camping options: Budget-conscious travelers appreciate Mount Ashland Campground. "We enjoyed staying at Mt. Ashland. It is a marked campground that is FREE. Simply follow the road past the ski area and you will find it," reports Hannah H., who found space despite the popularity: "All of the spots with fire rings were full when we got there, but there was space to park in the turnoffs or off-road past the campground for more private camping spots."

River access: Blue Heron RV Park receives praise for its waterfront location. "Huge parking pads, picnic table, and full hookups. Sites are well spaced apart. The riverfront sites cost a little more but are worth," explains Elizabeth H., highlighting the premium waterfront positioning.

Wildlife viewing: Natural encounters enhance the camping experience near Yreka. "The wild horses were a treat to see. They frequently roam around the campground," shares Mike from Blue Heron, offering insight into unique local wildlife opportunities beyond standard hiking and camping.

What you should know

Pet policies: Dog friendly campgrounds near Yreka have varying rules. At Yreka RV Park, "We stopped here when we were so tired we couldn't drive any further. Staff was wonderful and we had a shady spot," notes Jen H., who appreciated the pet-accommodating policies during their emergency stop.

Weather considerations: Temperature fluctuations require preparation. "The sunsets are GORGEOUS and stargazing is amazing but it is WINDY and I mean, drops 20 degrees windy, rocks the van windy," warns Abby M. about Mount Ashland's conditions, emphasizing the need for secure shelter and warm clothing even in summer.

Water availability: Many campgrounds have limited or no water access. "Bring your own water!!" emphasizes lhasa G. about Mount Ashland Campground, adding "The camp ground itself is fairly primitive but very reasonable for being FREE."

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort offers ideal water recreation for children. "We took 2 small children in a rented camper and went to this lake on a recommendation from friends in Mt. Shasta... short walk with our water toys to the nice sandy beach and lake," shares Margo A., who expanded their adventures: "We also enjoyed a short drive up to Castle lake at a higher elevation a lot less people not much sand but really nice for a picnic lunch."

Pet-friendly activities: Many Yreka area campgrounds accommodate four-legged family members. "My dogs did love the dog run area, it wasn't too bad, nice for them to stretch out & run around a bit & it wasn't filled with dog poop," reports Alysa R. about Waiiaka RV Park, noting the clean conditions of pet facilities.

Bathroom facilities: Family comfort depends on clean facilities. "The facilities are very clean, showers have nice hot water for a minimal fee," reports stephanie at Waiiaka RV Park, though she notes "Only down side is the sites are tightly packed together."

Tips from RVers

Hookup options: Full-service sites are available at multiple locations. "We had full hook-ups including sewer. Easy access off the I-5. Sites are close together however they are staggered to allow for a little more privacy," explains Shamra P. about Friendly RV Park.

Winter camping considerations: Cold weather camping requires preparation. "The campground is heavily shaded, which makes it nice in the summer but in the winter time it's kind of cold and damp. There are few places to fit a larger rig," notes Robert R. about Friendly RV Park, providing seasonal insight for winter travelers.

Dump station access: Not all campgrounds with hookups offer dump facilities. "Note though that even if you pay for partial or dry you will still need to pay $10/dump your tanks," advises Laura M. about regional dump station fees, an important consideration for longer stays.
