Camping near Redding

Nestled in the Shasta Cascade, Redding is your launchpad to the Great Outdoors. Camping here puts you in the heart of Northern California mountain country, beneath snow-capped Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen. Join the local kayaking craze, fish the Sacramento River, or hike the mountain passages. There are countless ways to explore Redding. For big adventure, make your way into Shasta-Trinity National Forest—a sprawling wilderness in the Cascade Range. Snag a spot at a Shasta Lake campground, or nurture your wild side while tent camping in the backcountry. Is exploring active volcanic landscapes on your bucket list? (Hint: it should be.) A short drive east of Redding brings you to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Boiling lakes, mud pots, and looming volcanoes mark this cauldron of natural beauty. The park is home to a number of California campgrounds, many perched on the shores of mountain lakes. From your campsite, explore 150 miles of hiking trails to stunning spots like Kings Creek Falls. A quick look around the city of Redding, CA shows you even more camping options. Kick back at a local RV park, or pitch a tent by a creek at a private campground. Wherever you end up, look forward to beautiful camping weather—the area gets 300+ sunny days per year. Keep in mind the snowy Winters can lead to road closures in the mountains. For the best camping experience, consider visiting the Shasta Cascade area in spring or fall.

Alpen Cellars Winery was established on a family ranch in the spring of 1984; it is situated in a picturesque mountain valley at the foot of towering craggy peaks in the rugged Trinity Lake region of Trinity County, California. Alpen Cellars is a family venture in which each of us take part in the long painstaking process of wine production. From pruning to harvest, crush to fermentation and bottling, we strive for fine wine and a connection to our customers. It may seem like an unlikely location to grow wine grapes, but the combination of high elevation and favorable microclimate provide the ideal conditions for early maturing grapes.

Are you ready to unplug from the world and recharge in nature? This newly built two bedroom, two bath log cabin will help you do just that. You’ll reconnect with love ones since the cabin has NO WIFI but does have a wood burning stove and miles of trails to walk on just outside of the front door. The cabin is conveniently located just minutes from the north entrance of Lassen National Park. For entertainment, I have a TV (no cable)/DVD player with a selection of movies, board games, and reading material including a few books and magazines. There is timber land at the back of the property with plenty of trails to walk or ride a mountain bike (if you bring one). Lassen National Park is a short drive away. Also nearby is lake McCumber. I have a wood burning stove inside that you can use for a fire. Absolutely NO FIRES outside. There is a fire ban in effect, thank you for your cooperation and understanding. I have a propane BBQ outside that you can use, along with a picnic bench and other outside seating. I will provide a selection of tea, hot coco, coffee and oatmeal to get your day started. Be sure to bring food with you since the nearest grocery story is about 9 miles away. I will provide a basket of firewood to use during your stay, but it's a good idea to bring extra since it will go fast. Because you're in the forest, there is limited cell reception so please plan accordingly. I've found that Verizon has some signal while AT&T has none. Since it's meant to get away from it all, not having cell service might be a good thing. :) The master bedroom is on the entire loft floor so there isn't a lock or door that separates the main area downstairs. Just so you're aware. There is a door and lock on the guest bedroom downstairs. All you'll need to bring are your personal items, food for your stay, and extra firewood! Once booked, I will send more helpful tips and information for your stay a week prior to your check in date. Dogs - I allow dogs because I believe they are part of the family, but please notify me if you intend to bring your dog prior to your stay. If there is high wind in the forecast, the electric company, PG&E may turn the power off for safety reasons. They usually notify me a day in advance and I will let you know right away, but I wanted you to know that it might be a possibility during your stay. For Winter Guests: A 4 wheel drive vehicle or car with chains is HIGHLY recommended to travel to the cabin. The main road is paved but there will be snow/ice in the area. The driveway is a slight uphill and is not paved. Please be prepared for snow. ***Approved Shasta County Short Term Rental Permit #STR 20-0013***

It’s hard to put into words how special Michael’s property really is. The setting of the campsites on the river is just spectacular and the solitude and peace we found during our stay there was everything we were hoping for. We have a 23’ travel trailer and lot was pretty nice and flat for our unit. We also had the place to ourselves which was magical. The location is in close enough proximity to a few little local towns in case you needed to grab anything or want to go grab a bite in town. Michael’s communications were great, directions were easy and I would go back in a heartbeat. We hope to be able to go back again someday! Thank you so much Michael!

Amazing, magical natural hot springs. Campsites themselves are a first come first serve deal and they're pretty good, with most of them having at least one especially nice thing going for them (privacy in the trees, less privacy in the open field area but the sound of the river flowing by and goodnight sky viewing). I'll definitely be coming back.

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

The spot is beautiful. A little oasis with magical river and hot pools. I would visit again. It was late September and there were maybe 10 spots taken on a weekend, which gave everyone privacy. Instructions clear. The only downside: the teenage steers on the other side of the river were being weaned from their moms that weekend, and the 100 or so cows were very loud much of the day and night. Maybe just a once/year thing? I spoke with the rancher and he said that his cows are very talkative. They do look very well taken care of and mostly they look totally happy in the pasture. However, the bellows were quite loud and a bit distressing. Some people said they liked hearing them. Others didn't.

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

This is a very unique campground! The hot springs, river and property are amazing. The road to get there is really not that bad, just about any car can make it... we got there in a Ford C-max, no problem. All-in-all we give it high marks. It will be amazing when it has a chance to mature a little. Things like trash, water and organized toilet facility for instance would improve this place. The lock on the gate and code to go with it could and should be improved. We never saw a host, we did see their dog though. If you are thinking of going to Kosk Creek you should just book it. You will have a fantastic time!

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

This was a stunning camp. There are plenty of sites with good amounts of space in between. The plant life and animal life is abundant. With it being near ranch land you do hear cattle lowing and gunshots. But it didn't take away from it for me. The creek has plenty of access and varies anywhere from ultra shallow to about chest deep on a medium height human. The hot springs are beautiful. They're a short walk from camp, and right up against the creek, with views of the gorgeous sunset. If you have heat intolerance like I do, I would suggest the pools where the springs and the creek meet. This place really does have something for everybody to enjoy. We saw two black bears in the area, so seriously don't leave any garbage or food out unattended. If you do, there is a handsome big sheep dog from a nearby ranch who will happily clean up anything you aren't wise enough to pack up. In my opinion he is just doing a good job keeping bears from the temptation of wandering into camp. He is a very good boy.

It’s quite a long 17miles down a twisty road, but well worth it. Great level spots right along the creek. Wonderful people taking care of the springs and sharing beers and laughs at the tubs. The gate is a very sharp left off the road, and the lock on the gate was very sticky when we were there. Hopefully you have some muscle to get it open.

Campground is separate but adjacent to the rail car grounds. We camped next to the creek in campervan. Really spacious and private. Interior campsites were more open. It’s a short walk to the rail cars and the pool. Pool was refreshing and rail cars were nice ambience. The highway noise dissipates at night and we loved hearing periodic trains in the distance. Hosts were very friendly and helpful and even escorted us to our campsite in their golf cart. Despite all the warning signs we didn’t see any bears, but camp hosts said they rummage in the garbage and don’t bother people. Nice view of Castle Crag. Really nice vibe. Would stay there again.
