RV 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.

Our 220 remote acres are adjacent to Shasta Trinity National Forest in the beautiful Cascade Range between Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta in Northern California. It's a working ranch with tree farms, animals, hydroelectric power, sawmill, gardens, orchards, creeks, springs, trails, and our camp alongside Kosk Creek. We're 54 miles from Redding off of 299E, (about 1-1/2 hour drive). DO NOT TAKE ROAD 11 FROM THE NORTH, IT IS CLOSED! PIease try to ignore the "car art" in the Pit River Tribe's Rancheria as you're coming here. Drive right through it, it's no reflection on us. The last mile or so of the road here can be pretty rough, but on arrival, you'll know it's worth the trip! No Cell phone service available here, so it's the perfect opportunity to unplug. We do have a land line up at the house in case of an emergency. Also, if you really need it, WiFi is available at the house.

Hornbrook, CA · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Welcome to adventure in far north Siskiyou County! Firebird Ridge presents a fantastic secluded camp station in a beautiful semi-wild setting with huge open sky views over 50 miles of the Klamath River and Siskiyou Crest. Just 10 minutes off the freeway and a little ways up from the river, a handful of thoughtfully laid out sites afford comfy car, tent, or compact RV camping with ample privacy. At an elevation near 3000 feet, the Ridge gets lots of sun, with cold nights and hot days in winter and summer respectively. The mountainside location generally offers clean fresh air with stunning sunsets and excellent stargazing. Best to arrive in daylight to orient and take in the scene! Count on fair to good cell service, plus limited central wifi and power on request. The land contains over a mile of trails with vistas, rock features, gnarly old 'bonsai' oak trees, native plants and wildflowers. Your stay here directly supports ongoing conservation, watershed protection and fire mitigation work around the site. Birds and wildlife are prolific, mostly the friendly sort however visitors should be mindful to avoid unwelcome encounters, and any children or pets kept under close watch. Your host can address questions or concerns. The property is not a park, playground, or big backyard, in fact probably not much like anyplace you've been...prepare for a novel experience! Come as a guest, not a customer, and find yourself at home in the wild. Activity and development on site are minimized to enhance natural habitat and ambience. It's a slow and steady work in progress, not a polished product, so input and feedback is certainly welcome! Guests are advised to minimize disturbance of other occupants and lifeforms--it's fine to have fun and make some intermittent noise but disruptive or damaging behavior will be curtailed. This location is not set up (yet) for people with mobility challenges, or people with no prior wilderness camping experience. Small to medium size (5-15p) groups may combine sites and enjoy some shared space and amenities, please inquire.

One beautifully landscaped acre with a goldfish and tadpole pond, waterfall, large grass area and view of Mount Shasta from some areas. This is my private home. This is an extremely quiet and peaceful spot with access through a private gate. It is a one minute walk to the Gateway Hiking and Biking trailhead and right on the way to Bunny Flat and further up the mountain. I do not have bathroom facilities, but I do have electricity and drinking water. There is a covered kitchen area with a cold water sink available to wash face/hands/dishes or to obtain drinking water. There is also some counter top area, with electricity. There are no streetlights; we live in the country. There ARE lights at the property entrance gate and in the kitchen area. The vehicle camping/parking spot is on level gravel under a large oak tree and commands a generous view. The tent camping area and the covered kitchen are a short walk further, on a paved road. The tent camping area is again under giant oaks, on soft ground, nestled in a hidden cove amid the landscaping. and conveniently near the covered kitchen area. You will sleep peacefully under a multitude of stars and awaken to a chorus of early bird song, including quail, robins, finches, jays, audubon warblers and many others who may be migrating through. We are on the Pacific Flyway. Take your coffee to the pond sitting area and let the sounds of the waterfall wash over you.

Lake Siskiyou camping 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.
