I like the campground, there are lots of shaded sites. This is my 3rd time at the campground and all was good except that the shower water would not go on. The temperatures had been up to 102 degrees the day before and I really was looking forward to taking a shower before continuing on my drive north into Oregon. It was an extreme let down that the shower water would not work. I felt very bad for the traveling nurse who needed to get to work and ended up having to wash her hair using the outside lawn watering hose.

The parks is lovely next to the Sacramento river in a shady sycamore grove. Easy access to Hwy 5 and near the town of Red Bluff. The host was quick to welcome us with a friendly greeting.

We stayed for one night as we were headed to Shasta. Facilities were nice and the shower was clean.

Very nice and friendly park hosts. RV sites are widely spaced and open, surrounded by mowed grass. Bathrooms and showers are very clean. This is the nicest park we stayed in.

Campground is very clean and well kept. Hosts are friendly. A little noise from I-5, but overall it's a nice peaceful place to camp with many birds and ground squirrels.

We were in site 12 - a pull thru. Friendly host, pleasant campground, some nice walks and quiet spaces to enjoy. Easy to reach from I-5, this was my second time staying here for an overnight.

Nice location and plenty of sites with shade.

Left early. Felt uncomfortable camping amid a number of homeless people, although their behavior wasnt unruly. Just makes you sad
@curtisc4155868 · Camped on May 4, 2025
Nice place. We loved having grass all around and pavement to park on. We didnt love looking at messy tent camping with supplies strewn all over the lawn. Some campers looked like they had been there well past the 14 days. Tent camping should be at its own area of the park not here and there among trailers. The first camp hosts camp was even kind of a mess.

This is a nice place to camp if you are traveling along interstate 5. The sites are shaded by the trees but there isn't really any screening between sites so there is very little privacy. The campground host was very nice. There are clean restrooms and showers.
@CalvinS8241194 · Camped on Apr 21, 2025 at Campsite #23
Beautiful campground with lots of shade trees. Nice camp hosts. We camped here a week ago and returned again because we loved the place. Definitely will return again.

We had two hosts handling camp. They were very nice. The camp was clean and we felt very safe. We had a water issue during our stay but the showers were fixed quickly.

@KarenS4720852 · Camped on Apr 9, 2025
Friendly and informative staff. Lovely campground. I did get tired of listening to the mowers that made the lovely campground possible.
@AnnZ2F7CC4D01B · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #8
Well kept, great host.
@JudyR2435564 · Camped on Apr 3, 2025 at Campsite #16

@RemieC64953F1E · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #22
Bathroom and grounds were clean. We enjoyed the Mt. Shasta path.
@JudithH31D975E · Camped on Mar 29, 2025
We always enjoy a stay at Sycamore Grove. The host is so sweet as she greets each camper and lets them know their site and any updated necessary information. The sites are well maintained as is the whole park. A great place for an overnight stay!
@LindaW6181394 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #5
Nice, treed, and affordable campground with trails. The host was pleasant and helpful. This our routine stop when traveling to/from Oregon.
@HavenAE9395E65 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #20
Plenty of spots available with beautiful views of the ocean
@Madeleine259D5 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #6
Co-hosts Lee & Sherman are kind, knowledgeable and just lovely hardworking people. Between them, the trees & all the birds my stay was fantastic! The bathrooms were the icing on the cake

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
