Stories from the community

1 night at Shasta Mountaineer

We really enjoyed our stay at Shasta Mountaineer. We set up our RV among a stand of tall trees in front of (host) Noam’s house. The site was pretty level. We had a close-up view of the peak of Mt. Shasta from our bedroom window. Gorgeous! Noam is the most pleasant, easy-going person one could ever hope to meet. He’s a soft-spoken guy who’s attentive to the guests’ needs, but not more than one would want. We felt very relaxed while we were there.

Weekend Trip to Juniper Valley Campsites

So beautiful!! Our camp host was very kind and generous. Would recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Walker Mine Campground

Beautiful, spacious, and private site! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. It was easy to get to and the space was prepared for us thoughtfully. A fire pit was setup for us on arrival. Was very happy to have the amenities of a water host, fire ring, trash cans, picnic table, toilet, and plenty of firewood. It was very quiet and peaceful with lots of passing sounds of birds around. Could not have asked for a better weekend getaway. Lots of trees and clear skies for us to gaze at day/night. Host was responsive and very kind. Even offered to mail a dog toy we accidentally left behind.

1 night at Trailer Lane Campground

This was one of the best campsites I’ve ever been too. Super nice site and very clean restrooms.

3 nights at Trailer Lane Campground

This facility is more like a campground than an RV Park! Several back-in sites with full hookups on the outer perimeter, like A4, are surrounded by oak and pine trees. The facility is spotless in general. The bathrooms/shower rooms were heated, and the shower stalls were new and in perfect shape. Laundry facility onsite as well. It is a great place to restock and recharge if you are on a long journey or just spending time in the Mt Shasta, Weed, Yreka area. This will be my go-to place in the Nor-Cal I5/97 corridor.

1 night at Trailer Lane Campground

As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe and comfortable at Trailer Lane. The grounds were clean and organized, the bathrooms were spotless. I was not in the least bothered by the freeway sounds. I will definitely reserve a spot again next time I make the trip from California to Oregon. Many thanks for a comfortable, clean, safe place to stay!

Weekend Trip to Juniper Valley Campsites

Guys. This site in INCREDIBLE. Stay if you get the chance. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful. If you are coming from the north and Google tells you to stop on the right side of the road, it's wrong. There's a little house a bit further up on the left.

Weekend Trip to Juniper Valley Campsites

We absolutely loved this camping area! The site was clean, well-maintained, and the view was truly stunning. On a clear, moonless night, the sky came alive with stars and constellations—it was breathtaking. We even heard a few coyotes howling in the distance, which added to the wilderness experience without being disruptive. The host, Alex, was fantastic and went above and beyond by helping us with extra firewood, which we really appreciated. This is definitely a spot we’d love to return to in the summer. The only thing that could make this place even better would be the addition of toilet facilities. Overall, a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.

1 night at Trailer Lane Campground

Great spot - right off I-5, easy to get to, clean and you get some peek a boo glimpses of Mount Shasta. The layout of the campground is very thoughtful, the host has great communication and there is a little camp store if you forgot something. The animals onsite are a bonus!

1 night at Juniper Spur Ranch

This spot is absolutely amazing and I would camp here again without hesitation! The directions were very clear and Patrice was helpful and friendly. Beautiful spot.

1 night at Juniper Spur Ranch

We had another wonderful stay, and a quiet New Years Eve for the dogs.

Weekend Trip to Juniper Valley Campsites

The views are great! I visited in December and the winds were pretty strong at night, keep that in mind if you plan to tent camp in the winter. I’ll definitely go back at some point!

Weekend Trip to Trailer Lane Campground

Had a great quick stay at Trailer Lane while passing through. Enjoyed the campfire and the animals, including turkeys and a really friendly black and white cat! Excellent views from the tent campsites, though clouds obscured Mount Shasta for much of my stay. Hope to come through again in the future!

1 night at Juniper Spur Ranch

We loved camping on Patrice's land overlooking at Mt.Shasta! The property was easy to find, impeccably clean and the landscape unbelievable! It was also beautiful watching the horses in the morning!

1 night at Juniper Valley Campsites

This was a great spot. Fantastic views of Shasta. Very nice host.

Weekend Trip to Trailer Lane Campground

This is a small RV campground in a beautiful region. We came in after the store/reception was closed, but found someone to sort us out. We slept in a rooftop tent, but most campers had RV’s. It was quiet and enjoyable.

1 night at Juniper Valley Campsites

Awesome spot-all was as described! Beautiful views and stars on a crystal clear cold night!

Weekend Trip to Trailer Lane Campground

This place was great. It's a great location with all of the amenities you need. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. The weather took a turn while I was there so the spots up top weren't a good option, so Karen set me up at a spot that was better for the time of year. I hiked up the hill though and the view is breathtaking. Would definitely come here again!!

Weekend Trip to Trailer Lane Campground

The property was beautiful! Bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Would stay here again. Arrive before dark if possible! We stayed in T1 and had a hard time locating the campsite in the dark. It is very obvious during the day, but in the dark the road over the bridge is not visible. (A left turn where the signage says right only.) The host answered right away and helped us out :) There are chickens and turkeys and other animals on the premises. Very cute setup! Would recommend for a peaceful rest stop.

1 night at Juniper Valley Campsites

Great experience. Quiet, not much around. Pretty windy spot, but it was probably just the season. Alex was very helpful.

Welcome to Juniper Spur Ranch! Directions: GPS Juniper Valley Spur....this is a short culdesac road with a road sign at the entrance off Juniper Valley Drive. There is a green pipe rail gate at the end. This gate has a combination lock. You will receive the current combination code 2 days before your arrival. If you are turning onto a dirt road without a sign....you are on the wrong road. Juniper Valley Spur is my short culdesac road with a green pipe rail gate at the end. We have 3 RV sites available for campers to book. Please note that we do not have RV hookups for any of the sites. You will be parking on loose gravel and the sites are relatively flat. We can accommodate most RVs/trailers, if you are uncertain about the size just send me a message. There is a portapotty in the hay barn cleaned regularly and a water spigot for non-potable water uses or for a quick outdoor shower with a handheld spritzer. It is not enclosed so you will need to be discreet. Pets are allowed at campsites #2 and #3 only. These campsites are farthest from the horses and dogs. Please keep dogs on leash at all times. Our property offers a beautiful view of Mount Shasta. Nature lovers, extreme sports enthusiasts, family vacationers and retirees, can all enjoy the vast recreational opportunities this area has to offer. Lake Siskiyou is about 20 miles south and offers a wonderful 7-mile hiking trail around the entire lake. Bring your horses too. I have a couple of electric-fenced paddocks for visitors.

Camp Stoney Meadows

13 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents120 acres · Big Bend, CA

Big Bend's annual Trout Derby is back!! Starting April 26, so get here early so you'll be ready for the big events! Our 120 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.
