What guests say
The park report card

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Marina RV Park fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: the cheapest way to sleep beside the Sacramento River in Redding, minutes from the Sundial Bridge, with a pool and full hookups. It’s an older, tight, mostly long-term park with 30-amp power and a 40 ft limit, so it suits smaller rigs on a budget.

Marina RV Park is an older, all-ages RV park on the Sacramento River in central Redding. It’s mostly home to long-term residents, with a few spaces kept for nightly and weekly guests.
Best for
- Smaller rigs (40 ft or less) that want a river setting close to downtown.
- Monthly stays: $800 a month including utilities is low for Redding.
- Walkers and cyclists: the Sacramento River Trail and Sundial Bridge are close by.
- Anglers who want to fish the river from the park.
Consider this
- Power is 30 amp only, and sites are tight back-ins on a concrete lot.
- Reviewers describe deferred maintenance and an office that’s often closed.
- Showers and laundry are upstairs, with no ramp.
- The nightly published rate ($72) is higher than older reported prices.
