What guests say
The park report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores are worth reading together: guests like the shade, river views, friendly staff and clean bathrooms, while I-5 and sawmill noise, paid Wi-Fi and pool closures come up most often.

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Sacramento River fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a big, shady riverside park with riverfront sites, a pool and a dog park, at a lower starting price than most of Redding. Noise from I-5 and a sawmill, paid Wi-Fi and a lot of long-term residents are the trade-offs, so pay for a riverfront site if you can.
