Pulled in at 10:30 pm to grab a bit of sleep. Site 26 is a pull through and fairly level. Woke up and went on an early morning hike on the Root Trail for a stunning view of the Castle Crag Mountains.

Site 36 is concrete, wide and almost level
Most all other sites are either short (for 24ft sprinter) and hilly or both.
The internal roads are steep and twisty except from site 20 to 37.

Wanted a place for one night on our way to Washington and this filled our needs. Being right off I5 made it perfect for stopover but being so close to I5 also made it less than quite. There was also a train running. Stayed in May so everything was still green. Campground was pretty much empty. Our site had a concrete pad, we still had a little leveling to do. Campground had flush toilet, shower and running water. No hookups.
Trail down to the Sacramento River. Hiking trails throughout but one we enjoyed was the Vista trail. Views of the crags and Mount Shasta.

I stayed here only one night, on the way north toward Oregon. The park is located just off Interstate 5, which is convenient but also a major drawback due to noise. I recommend staying on the Upper Loop, which is further from the highway. I arrived late and the only availability was the Lower Loop.
The site was fine for tent camping, but the noise from the interstate was very loud. Also, the mosquitos were horrendous! They swarmed any exposed skin and made it impossible to enjoy sitting outside. The bathrooms had running water, showers and flush toilets; however they were nothing to write home about and could use a cleaning.
I didn't hang around the next day to do any hiking, but the park looks fairly nice.
In the future, I would likely make this a day trip or visit during the cooler months when the bugs are less active.

Campsites are surprisingly close to the interstate. Bathroom was a bit drab and one of the two stalls out of service. Only a few sites appeared to be level.
