Thought it would be fun to stay for 1 night on the way home. We would have to pay $20 for the National Park entrance fee and $25 to park in a huge blacktop lot. Not worth it! Lady was very nice and understanding.

This is back in parking lot style camping with spaces large enough to fit RV's up to around 38 feet. They have spaced everyone out due to COVID so you will have plenty of space to yourself.

This is back in parking lot style camping with spaces large enough to fit RV's up to around 38 feet. They have spaced everyone out due to COVID so you will have plenty of space to yourself. While this is dry camping there is a dump station with potable water available. We moved our prepaid reservation from Brandy Creek so the $10 reflected the cost of that campground with 1/2 off using the National Park Pass. Camping is next to parking for the lake but it was quiet all night with no issues.

Large open space -blacktop parking lot type RV camp ground. Easy access right off the main highway but far enough off for quiet. Price is right at 18 dollars off season and 9 dollars for senior pass. Clean bathrooms and individual coin showers. Plenty of garbage and recycle bins and a Small store. Lots of area to hike and move your legs after a long drive. Good cell service!

Was a good place to tent camp, right on a once beautiful Whiskeytown Lake. The area was completely destroyed by the Carr Fire in July 2018. Hoping is reopens soon.
Not much left for shade. Sad.

Overall Rating
There is a campground but even small rigs like us don't fit. RV's end up parked in a lot with fewer options than you'd have at Walmart. $9 w senior pass. Very slow Verizon 3G connection even with antenna and amplifier. There is a dump on site.
