The best dog-friendly camping in Lake Siskiyou

·

Formed by Box Canyon Dam on the Sacramento River, Lake Siskiyou is a radiant reservoir resting at the foot of Mount Shasta. The Lake Siskiyou Trail along the shore features epic views of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Eddy with popular spots for biking, fishing, and swimming. Nearby, Shasta-Trinity National Forest invites intrepid hikers to summit Mt. Shasta at 14,179 feet. To the north, Klamath National Forest’s multiple wilderness regions and backpacking trails offer a glimpse of California biodiversity. Sitting south, Lassen Volcanic National Park continues to boast unique features including hydrothermal areas, jagged peaks, and volcanoes. Or head to the Pacific Ocean to see towering trees and iconic landscapes in Redwood State and National Park. Year-round campsites, glampsites, RV parks with 50-amp hookups, and unique camping accommodations make Lake Siskiyou a Northern California hotspot, though winter campers in town for skiing and snowboarding may encounter temperatures below freezing.

Montague, CA · 2 sites
Scenic views on a hilltop surrounded by mountains overlooking a valley and pond. Wide open spaces dotted with junipers and oaks. Bring your self-contained RV or camper. No tent camping at this time, sorry. Wake up to see the sun on the hillsides and the beautiful horses and donkeys grazing nearby. Your RV will be in a separate area apart from the horses, but near enough to observe them. We are located between Mt Shasta and Mt Ashland with winter sports nearby. Hike the Klamath National Monument trails. Visit the old mining town of Yreka and check out historic Montague's Open Sky Art Gallery, the only justice-inspired art gallery in the Pacific Northwest. Many waterfalls and clean lakes in our area to visit too. I am an ARCH (Arenas for Change) Designated Horse Professional, Coach and Educator. I will be present with you for any horse experience you choose. Horse experiences available: 1. Communication with Horses. Connect and interact with the 5 horses and 2 donkeys in their pasture in a natural setting. Build confidence, reset your nervous system, and experience a deeper dimension of horse nature and how they teach and heal us. Stroke or groom horses as you learn more about these magnificent, sensitive creatures. 2. Self-Development with Horses. Want to be seen and heard? SEEN and HERD is a wellness session with horses with a specific intention you identify. This experience is often deep, transformational, and healing. The solution to any issue lies within ourselves. The unfolding stories of the horses and donkeys, as they interact with us in their natural setting, lend insights into our own story. Learn what is needed to move forward with intent. 3. Mountain Horseback Trail Riding. Go for a ride with a wrangler and me on gentle riding horses up well-established mountain trails on a recreational ranch as my guest. Guest fees apply and are included in the price. 4. Arena Horseback Riding and Lesson. Ride alongside me in a large arena on a gentle riding horse. Learn how to relate to the horse as you ride, communicate effectively, keep your balance using the correct posture, turn, stop, and move forward smoothly. Build your confidence as you learn from a patient riding instructor. No judgment, no yelling. Just fun learning!

The best dog-friendly camping in Lake Siskiyou guide

Where to go

Shasta-Trinity National Forest

Hike, bike, paddle, and ski at California’s largest national forest, just under 20 minutes from Lake Siskiyou. Stretching over two-million acres, Shasta-Trinity National Forest is home to Lake Shasta, California’s largest man-made lake, and Mt. Shasta, one of the state’s highest peaks. A range of scenic trails wind through the park, including the famous Pacific Crest Trail connecting Mexico to Canada. The forest also hosts over 50 developed campgrounds with full hookups, firepits, picnic tables, and restrooms, as well as cabin rentals and dispersed campsites unless otherwise posted. Grab a campfire permit for a warmer night at dispersed sites.

Klamath National Forest

Nestled north of Lake Siskiyou, Klamath National Forest sits on the border of California and Oregon. Its numerous botanic, geologic, and wilderness areas also host 34 developed campgrounds with full hookups and 10 picnic areas. Klamath also offers on-site cabin rentals and some equestrian campsites, as well. No matter where campers wake up, they can trek along old growth redwoods and Douglas firs, get an adrenaline boost on a white-water rafting excursion, or kayak on the Klamath, Scott, and Salmon Rivers.

Lassen Volcanic National Park

Venture through volcanoes at Lassen Volcanic National Park on its 150 miles of trails. Less than two hours south of Lake Siskiyou, Lassen is known for its bubbling mud pots, steam vents, and hot springs. For an easier hike, check out Bumpass Hell Trail for a 3-mile loop to the park’s largest geothermal features. Or cruise Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway for some of the park’s most scenic viewpoints and entries to trailheads. Several on-site campgrounds offer tent, RV, and horse campsites with access to restrooms and showers. But, despite Manzanita Lake’s dump station, there are no hookups in the park.

Redwood National and State Parks

The Redwood National and State Parks system consists of Redwood National Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Each park shares a similar ecosystem made up of prairies, rivers, coastline, and massive redwood forests. Campers can spot northern spotted owls and Chinook salmon on a scenic drive along Coastal Drive Loop. Or park the RV and go biking along Ossagon Trail toward Gold Beach. Bring furry friends to Cal Barrel Road where leashed dogs are allowed to sniff the redwoods. Then stay at four developed campgrounds that provide tent and RV campsites as well as potable water and dump stations. Or camp under the trees at free backcountry campsites with a permit.
