Lakehead, CA

Lakeshore Resort - Lakehead

39 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 1 Cottage

On the banks of Lake Shasta in Lakehead, California—five minutes off Interstate 5 in Shasta County where the Sacramento River, McCloud River, and Pit River meet behind Shasta Dam to create California's largest reservoir at 29,000 surface acres and 365 miles of shoreline in the Klamath Mountains' forested landscape—Lakeshore Resort provides a historic lakeside retreat with 39 RV sites and 11 cozy cabins under towering ponderosa pines, a seasonal swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, and the position as one of the few private resorts directly overlooking Lake Shasta's waters, with boat launches and swimming accessible within minutes of the resort property. For I-5 travelers making the run between Sacramento and Portland who want more than a truck stop, and for Shasta Lake anglers and houseboaters who want a comfortable land base, Lakeshore delivers the lake character the drive north is working toward. The 39 RV sites provide hookup service under the ponderosa pine canopy in the Lakehead community on the lake's northern arm, with the Lake Shasta views and the resort's direct water proximity creating the lakeside camping atmosphere that the inland California mountain reservoir delivers. Eleven cabins in the pine-forest setting alongside the seasonal pool, restaurant, and bar provide the complete resort infrastructure for guests without a rig in an environment the forested Shasta County lakeshore makes appealing beyond its I-5 convenience. The restaurant and bar serve the evening social function for both RV guests and cabin occupants, and the pool provides the warm-weather complement to the lake swimming that the property's close water access enables. Lakehead sits on the Sacramento River arm of Lake Shasta in the northern Sacramento Valley/southern Cascade Range transition zone, in the Shasta County landscape where the Interstate 5 corridor's passage through the Klamath Mountains creates the dramatic change in terrain from the valley floor to the mountain environment that marks the most visually significant transition on the entire I-5 corridor between Los Angeles and the Canadian border. The Pit River Bridge over Lake Shasta on I-5—at 500 feet above the lake surface, one of the highest interstate highway bridges in the United States—provides the introduction to the Shasta Lake landscape for northbound travelers that makes a stop in Lakehead feel like a logical response to the view. Shasta Dam, five miles south at the head of the Sacramento River arm, stands as one of the most impressive concrete structures in the American West—the second-tallest concrete dam in the United States at 602 feet, completed in 1945, whose visitor center and tours explain the Central Valley Project's water management infrastructure and the dam's construction history. The Shasta-Trinity National Forest's 2.2 million acres surround the lake in the mixed conifer and chaparral landscape that provides the hiking, fishing, and the dispersed camping that supplements the resort's infrastructure. Lake Shasta's bass, trout, salmon, and kokanee fishery makes it one of California's most productive multi-species lakes. Lakeshore Resort operates seasonally with the peak summer season from Memorial Day through Labor Day when the lake's houseboating fleet fills the 365-mile shoreline and the warm mountain summer temperatures make the pool and lake swimming the daily activity anchor for families and groups. The spring season from April through May offers the lake at its most full—the snowmelt from the Klamath Mountains and the Sierra feeds the reservoir to high-water levels that maximize the shoreline access and the scenic impact of the lake in the green, flower-season landscape. Reserve your RV site or cabin at Lakeshore Resort and let Lake Shasta's 365-mile shoreline, the ponderosa pines, and the northern California mountain landscape make the I-5 corridor's most impressive water body the destination rather than the backdrop.

Clearlake, CA

Clear Lake Campground

39 RV Sites

Clear Lake Campground in Clearlake, California, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites on Cache Creek with 30-amp service, taking rigs to 40 feet, plus a boat ramp, kayak and boat rentals, and an outdoor pool. Established in the 1950s, it sits on the sole natural outlet of Clear Lake — the largest natural freshwater lake entirely within California. Thirty-six sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp in back-in, creekside back-in, and pull-through configurations sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Rigs longer than 40 feet will not fit, and the 30-amp service is worth noting for guests running high-draw appliances. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle longer stays, and WiFi reaches the property. Water access is the campground's core. A boat ramp gives direct entry to the creek and lake, and boat and kayak rentals are available on site for guests who arrive without their own. Fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boats, and swimming all run from the property, with an outdoor pool as the managed alternative. A playground serves families, and hiking, biking, ping pong, and birding fill out the rest. Pets are welcome. Cache Creek carries bass and catfish, and Clear Lake's position on the migratory corridor concentrates birdlife through spring and fall. Note the lake experiences blue-green algae blooms in some summer periods, which affects swimming conditions. Clearlake sits 90 miles north of San Francisco on Highway 20, in Lake County's wine country and volcanic highlands. The campground has drawn returning Bay Area families for seven decades. Summer is peak — reserve ahead, and check current lake conditions when planning swimming.

Junction City, CA

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe

14 RV Sites, 8 Cottages, 1 Yurt

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe in Junction City, California, occupies the banks of the Trinity River in Trinity County — a riverside resort in one of California's most remote and most scenically dramatic inland counties, where the Trinity River flows cold and clear from the Trinity Alps Wilderness through a forested canyon that supports world-class fly fishing, whitewater rafting, and the kind of genuine wilderness character that Highway 299's remote corridor delivers for travelers willing to make the drive between Redding and the Humboldt coast. The resort's combination of cottages, a 30-foot yurt, pet-friendly accommodations, and full-hookup RV sites gives guests a range of accommodation formats suited to the river canyon environment, and the on-site café — built into a 2,000-square-foot straw bale structure overlooking the Trinity — provides the culinary experience that makes staying at Strawhouse a more complete destination than simply a camping infrastructure. Cottages including the Creekside Cottage and Suncrest House, the distinctive 30-foot yurt, and RV sites positioned across from the café with private fishing and direct Trinity River access give guests multiple ways to inhabit the same riverside setting. The resort's family-friendly orientation and the pet-friendly policy across multiple accommodation types make it accessible to the full range of traveling household compositions, and the private river access at the RV site level gives campers the direct Trinity River contact that motivated their drive to Trinity County in the first place. The café's organic coffee, full meals, and river view make it a natural gathering point for both resort guests and Highway 299 travelers. The Trinity River through Junction City and the Trinity County corridor is one of California's premier wild and scenic rivers — a designated Wild and Scenic River with exceptional water quality, substantial populations of summer and winter steelhead, spring chinook salmon, and rainbow trout in a river setting of old-growth Douglas fir and ponderosa pine forest. The Trinity River fly fishing tradition draws anglers from across California and the Pacific Northwest specifically to this corridor, and the combination of drift boat float fishing and wade fishing through the green-water pools accessible from the resort's private access makes Strawhouse the natural base for fishing-focused Trinity County stays. Whitewater rafting on the Trinity River, accessible through outfitters operating from the Junction City area, provides Class II through IV whitewater through the canyon sections that the river's gradient and volume produce in the right-season conditions — typically from snowmelt through early summer. Trinity Lake, formed by Trinity Dam upstream near Weaverville, adds flatwater recreation, bass fishing, and lake camping options to the broader Trinity County recreation available from a Strawhouse base. The Trinity Alps Wilderness, rising to over 9,000 feet above the resort's valley floor, provides trail access into some of the most alpine and least-visited wilderness terrain in Northern California. Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe operates through Trinity County's outdoor season, with the steelhead and salmon fishing windows driving the most fishing-specific visitor traffic — fall chinook from September through November and winter steelhead from December through March. Summer whitewater and general resort season runs May through September when the café operates at full capacity and river access from the RV sites is most actively used. Reserve accommodations ahead for fall fishing season and summer rafting weekends, when Trinity County's limited lodging inventory fills from the Redding, Sacramento, and Bay Area markets.

Mi-Wuk Village, CA

Three Links Campgrounds

30 RV Sites, 15 Tent Sites

Three Links Campgrounds in Mi-Wuk Village, California, offers 30 full-hookup RV sites and 15 tent sites across 25 wooded acres at 4,500 feet in the Sierra Nevada foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Open all year, with an outdoor pool, cabins, and a craft room in ponderosa pine country. Thirty sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Fifteen tent sites and cabins round out the accommodations. Laundry, restrooms, and WiFi handle the practical side, and the campground operates year-round — worth noting at this elevation. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a craft room for indoor hours and hiking, swimming, picnicking, and birding from the property. Skiing and snowboarding are nearby, with a lake and boating close by. The property also serves as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The campground has run on these 25 wooded acres since 1958, originally established by the California Odd Fellows and Rebekahs and continuing today open to individual travelers, families, and groups. Mi-Wuk Village sits directly on Highway 108 in Tuolumne County, in the canyon country of the upper Stanislaus River drainage — one of the most beautiful and most underappreciated mountain landscapes in California. The Highway 108 and Highway 49 corridors make this a practical base for Twain Harte, Sonora, Jamestown, and Columbia. Summer and ski season both draw — reserve ahead.

Oregon Outback RV Park

11 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Oregon Outback RV Park in Lakeview, Oregon, offers 11 RV sites and a tent site on the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Pull-through and no-hookup back-in categories serve a spacious, family-owned property at 4,800 feet with views of Abert Rim. Eleven sites run in pull-through and no-hookup back-in configurations, the serviced sites carrying water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups, though a dump station is available. A tent site covers simpler camping. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. A playground serves families, and the setting does the rest. Abert Rim rises directly from the alkali flat of Lake Abert's western shore — the longest exposed fault escarpment in North America at over 30 miles long and 2,500 feet tall, a geological display that recalibrates your sense of the Great Basin's vertical scale. Fishing, hiking, biking, birding, and hot springs are all accessible from the area, with skiing nearby in season. The elevation delivers crisp, clear air and genuinely dark night skies, which the Outback Byway's distance from any major urban center sustains. Lake County packs more geological and wildlife interest into its landscape than almost anywhere else in Oregon. The park serves the high desert season, with summer travel on the byway the peak and fall bringing clear conditions and quiet. With 11 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends.

Bridgeport, CA

Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground

18 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Situated on the shore of Bridgeport Reservoir in the high-elevation eastern Sierra country of Mono County, California, Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground offers panoramic views of the Sawtooth Range and Bridgeport Valley from a remote and scenic location that has been serving anglers and travelers since the reservoir's establishment in the 1920s. The campground's position in the upper Great Basin at approximately 6,500 feet of elevation gives it a cool, dry, high-desert character that distinguishes it from the forested western Sierra campgrounds and delivers the wide-open skies and mountain vistas that define the eastern Sierra landscape. Sites include 80-foot pull-through accommodations with electric, water, sewer, and Wi-Fi connections, alongside tent camping positions that take full advantage of the reservoir's open shoreline setting. Off-road trails from the campground lead into the Bodie Hills—the volcanic upland terrain east of Bridgeport that provides access to open-country driving routes through high-desert landscape with views across the Great Basin to the Nevada ranges beyond. The marina provides boat launch access and services for guests arriving with trout fishing vessels, and the combination of campground hookups and marina services in one operation simplifies the logistics of an extended fishing stay. Bridgeport Reservoir is one of the most productive trophy trout fisheries in the eastern Sierra, with rainbow and brown trout reaching exceptional size in the cold, nutrient-rich reservoir water that has developed a thriving fishery since the dam's construction. Anglers targeting trophy rainbows and large brown trout find consistent productivity from both boat and shore, and the reservoir's reputation among knowledgeable California trout anglers makes it a destination worth planning around for guests whose primary interest is fly or lure fishing in a high-elevation Sierra setting. The surrounding Bridgeport Valley is rich in regional attractions for guests extending their stay beyond the reservoir. Bodie State Historic Park, approximately 13 miles east of Bridgeport via dirt road, preserves one of the most intact gold-rush ghost towns in the American West—a remarkably preserved collection of 19th-century mining-era buildings maintained in a state of arrested decay by the California State Parks system. The East Walker River below Bridgeport Reservoir is managed as a wild trout catch-and-release fishery of exceptional quality, with large wild brown trout accessible to wading fly anglers on a stretch of river that ranks among the premier catch-and-release waters in California. Bridgeport Reservoir Marina and Campground is most active from late spring through early fall, with the trout fishing season and the peak of eastern Sierra tourism overlapping from June through September. The reservoir's high elevation means snow is possible through May and can arrive again in October, making the June through September window the most reliably accessible for camping. Advance reservations for fishing season weekends are recommended, particularly for waterfront and pull-through positions that provide the best reservoir access and views. The campground's long history, panoramic Sawtooth Range views, and access to trophy trout fishing on both the reservoir and the East Walker River make it one of the most compelling all-in-one fishing and camping destinations available on the eastern Sierra landscape between Mammoth Lakes and the Nevada border.
