RV camping in Northern California

·

California makes it easy to find its outdoor superstars by RV—from Oregon on down, Highway 101 and Interstate 5 pass right by Redwood forests, rugged coastal bluffs, Mount Shasta, Wine Country, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. When you hit I-80 in Sacramento, it’s a straight shot to the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe. There’s something for every RVer: whale-watching at Point Reyes National Seashore, surfing at Pacifica State Beach, wandering through Redwood National and State Parks, boating on Shasta Lake, hiking in Lassen National Forest, and much more. RV options vary widely from comfortable resorts with full hookups, pools, and amenities to state park campgrounds with no services. Along the coast, expect cool temps, wind, and moody clouds until you get south of Sonoma. Inland, summers are hot and dry with usually mild, wet Winters. In Tahoe, be prepared for snow in the winter with potentially dangerous driving conditions.

Klamath, CA · 32 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to Terwer RV Park, a family-owned campground tucked near the edge of Klamath Glen on California’s North Coast. The park has been welcoming guests for more than 40 years, and we’re honored to be part of its next chapter. Around here, we like to call it Klamath’s Best Kept Secret. Surrounded by redwoods, river access, and quiet coastal beauty, Terwer RV Park is a simple, old-fashioned place to camp. We are not a luxury resort, and that is part of the charm. You will find open space, scattered trees, RV sites, tent camping, fresh air, and a slower pace. The Klamath River is just over the levee, only a short walk from camp. It is a beautiful place to fish, swim, or sit by the water. The river is known for salmon and steelhead fishing, and a valid fishing license is required. During peak fishing season, especially in August and September, you may hear early morning activity from guests heading out to the river. We are located about 4 miles off Highway 101, close enough for easy access but far enough away to enjoy a quieter stay. Wildlife is common in the area, so please secure your food and trash at night. There is plenty to explore nearby, including Redwood National and State Parks, Trees of Mystery, Klamath River Jet Boat Tours, coastal viewpoints, hiking trails, biking routes, and quiet places to wander among the redwoods. A few things to know before you book: -Firewood is available on site. -Cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier. Free Wi-Fi is available and reaches most of the campground. -Electric vehicle charging is $10 per charge and must be arranged ahead of time. 50 amp service is limited, and guests must provide their own adapters. -Well-behaved pets are welcome. -Kids and laughter are always welcome. -We offer dry camping, 30 amp sites, and 50 amp pull-through sites. -Late arrivals are okay. If you plan to arrive after 10:00 p.m., please text us before 9:00 p.m. so we can send you check-in instructions. Terwer RV Park is rustic, peaceful, and easygoing. We look forward to welcoming you.

There is NOTHING like being in the wilderness of this area for a good re-centering of the soul! We have found it to be a true blessing for our family, and we hope you can experience this blessing as we share this space with you. We feel certain you will not be disappointed with our beautiful river canyon. Our property is situated right on the middle fork Cosumnes river.

It’s a short drive to Tahoe and the Marshall gold discovery site as well as the historic hangtown Placerville. We are happy to make suggestions for local hiking areas, like the Devil's Slide "Gorge" only a 15 minute drive but like a trip to mini Yosemite. The Caldor Fire was VERY close to our property and a back burn was initiated nearby the our house (literally 200' away!). Our property became a pivotal point of fighting the fire in our community known as the “Ant Hill Army”. Ask us about the story!

Sites have beautiful open views of the property and river canyon with natural shade in the morning and late afternoon. Sounds of the river will lull you to sleep. Although partially shaded, please plan to provide your own portable shade structure(s) during late morning and afternoon as the direct sun can be an inconvenience. The Stranges are professional fish and wildlife biologists and have decided to share this special place for others to enjoy. The property hosts a diversity of plant and wildlife species that might be observed during your stay. Prehistoric and historic resources can be observed along the river corridor. Please be aware that some wildlife species including rattlesnakes, bears, and mountain lions have been observed on the 117-acre property and could potentially be observed near the campsites. The Ranch's northern portion of the property supports a leased farming operation. Farming operations should not interfere with camping activities. Day trips are possible to Tahoe, Yosemite National Park, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, local caverns and wine tasting, and historic gold towns.
