Sweet Spot

Abilene Creek on the Avenue of the Giants, CA Coastal redwoods. Close to all hiking and Rockefeller Grove..

Get there early or make reservations in advance.. This place fills up fast! I had to stay in the overflow.

Being in the giant trees is very humbling.

Some mosquitoes so bring bug spray.

Great place

Right off Grant's Pass. The creek is still very clean with lots of water even in September. No mosquitoes, large sights, wooded area so very dark at night

This is a great place to camp and only a short drive to Crescent City and Oregon. coast

Don't bother unless you have horses

A long drive between Garberville and Honey Dew. Great drive but not worth the trip

First to Review
The best place ever

Wonderfully remote. Excellent weather in August. Chilly at night if wind starts to blow. I love the remoteness of this place, it is California's lost coast. Not for the faint of heart as you have to haul your own water in. The other people camping were really fabulous. Super laid back. A lot of younger hikers and older hippy types all hanging out together and often sharing meals amongst other campers. A true community of people.

Busy Beavers here

I love everything about Mount Lassen including the Manzanita Lake camping ground.

UNFORTUNATELY the lake allows no water Recreation due to a over population of beavers; Beavers are apparently dangerous.

It is located less than a mile from the entrance. Large and well shaded sites. Very affordable!

All the amenities including gas, laundry and showers.

Stock up on supplies as the store is limited and expensive!

Berry Nice

I generally don't like KOA campgrounds because they feel like small cities. This KOA is different in that even though it has all the amenities and comforts of home it still is removed enough from the hussle and bussles of the city.

Nice size campsites and well maintained facilities.

Great black berry picking through out the campsite and a short walk to Mount Shasta city down town area.

It fills up fast so it's best to make reservations.

Great Fishing

Vault toilets are the only draw back. This place is on hwy 44 near the Hat Creek region of Lassen. I like this place because you avoid the tourist type campers you will find in the Lassen National Park

This place is awesome

I love the potato patch. Large spaces and great easy going people; primarily tent campers. Clean, clean creek…Deer Creek, Lassen Snow melt.

Fishing is made easy as the Creek is planted two times a month.

The one that got Away

I love the Dusty Campground which has sites on lake Britton. Super clean lake! GREAT FISHING! Unfortunately only 9 campsites available at Dusty so its very hard to get one. Go midweek and pack your fishing gear.

Free!

All the way to the end of Electra road off of hwy 49; No amenities but free and on the North Fork of the Mokelumne River.

Gold country paradise. Bring your gold panning supplies!

Bring your own table, chairs and bbq.

Swift water so be cautious, wear a life jacket, pick a inner tube up at the local tire store and have a great time riding the rapids!

Not found on a map! Remote! Mill Valley Campground

Take Forrest Route N17 off of Spouts Spring Rd.

What a sweet surprise after spending an hour on an unimproved wash board road.. This is an ideal Campground for those with OHV's. As you pass thru a off road vehicle area on way up to campsite.

Lett's Lake was closed due to a prior fire. But the upside is that the Forrest service has provided free stacks of wood.

Bring lots of water and drive a well running car. You don't want to get stuck out here!

Fathers day weekend. Horrible!

This Campground is barren The temperature in June is over 105 degrees. Very little shade. The reservoir was more like a mud puddle then a lake as it was drained early to support Rice Farmers in the central valley.

The only saving grace was a creek we found several miles toward Stonyford. Look for first bridge and you will see turn out.

Great weekend in Mount Shasta

How fantastic the whole Mount Shasta region is at this time of year. No mosquitoes! The Lake was crowded this week but the water was clean and great for swimming. Lake Siskiyou is a great base camp for exploring Lee Shasta wilderness.

Tip. stock up on supplies at Ray's in mount shasta city. The camp ground store is predictably expensive
