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.

Plymouth sits in Amador County at the heart of the California Gold Rush trail and the Shenandoah Valley wine region — a combination that makes this one of the most culinarily and historically appealing RV communities in the state. Highway 49 runs the length of Gold Country, and the tasting rooms are minutes away. Harvest season and spring wildflowers drive the heaviest demand in the foothills, with summer bringing heat and Gold Country touring. Reserve ahead for fall crush weekends.

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.

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.

Santa Cruz, CA

Beach RV Pleasure Point

15 RV Sites

Tucked between Rodeo Creek and Corcoran Lagoon at 2505 Portola Drive on the East Side of Santa Cruz, Beach RV Pleasure Point is a boutique, 16-site RV park that puts the most famous surf breaks in the Santa Cruz area—Pleasure Point's The Hook, The Point, and 38th Avenue—literally steps from your door, with the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk 10 minutes away and the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains providing the afternoon cooling that makes this stretch of the Central California coast one of the most livable outdoor environments in the state. Locally owned and operated with attention to site quality and guest service that a 16-site property can provide in ways that larger parks cannot, Pleasure Point has developed a following among serious surfers, Santa Cruz regulars, and travelers who have learned that the East Side's residential beach character rewards camping at a scale the city's more commercial campgrounds cannot replicate. All 16 sites provide full hookups with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service, accommodating rigs from 25 to 60 feet in length. Complimentary WiFi supports remote work for guests staying during the week, and clean bathroom and shower facilities with strong hot water and pressure serve all site types. A communal fire pit creates the evening gathering space that beach camping naturally generates, and the on-site dog park accommodates the traveling pets that make so many RV journeys genuine family affairs. Online check-in streamlines the arrival process, and the locally owned operation's personal service creates the kind of direct guest communication that matters when you're navigating a small coastal city with a specific activity agenda. Pleasure Point is Santa Cruz's quintessential East Side surf neighborhood—a stretch of Portola Drive between the Capitola border and the city center lined with surf shops, coffee roasters, fish tacos, and the street-level culture that develops when a community genuinely organizes itself around surfing as a way of life. The breaks at Pleasure Point have been producing world-class waves since the 1960s, and The Hook remains one of the most reliable right-hand point breaks in Northern California—accessible on foot from the campground for guests who surf and worth watching for those who don't. The Esplanade along East Cliff Drive provides the cycling, running, and walking route that connects Pleasure Point to the Boardwalk and Seabright Beach. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk—California's oldest surviving amusement park, operating since 1907—anchors the beach scene at the Municipal Wharf with classic rides including the Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster, a National Historic Landmark, and the Looff carousel. The natural bridges and tide pools of Natural Bridges State Beach, Wilder Ranch State Park's coastal prairie and redwood canyon trails, and the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park's old-growth grove in the San Lorenzo River canyon provide the natural recreation counterpoints to the surf culture and boardwalk experience. Capitola Village, adjacent to the east, adds its own beach-town charm with independent restaurants and the colorfully painted cottages along Capitola Beach. Beach RV Pleasure Point operates year-round in Santa Cruz's mild, fog-influenced coastal climate, where summer temperatures hover in the 60s and early 70s and winter rarely drops below 45°F. The fog that cools the summer afternoons burns off quickly on many mornings, leaving the kind of clean Central Coast light that makes the surfing, cycling, and tide-pooling that define a Santa Cruz stay consistently rewarding. Advance reservations are essential for weekend and summer stays in a 16-site park with a loyal repeat guest base. Book your site at Beach RV Pleasure Point and spend your mornings checking the surf report and your afternoons on the East Side in one of California's great coastal communities.

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.

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.
