I am an older single woman who needs travel to Red Bluff often. My choice of a place to stay is always Sycamore Grove. Situated on the bank of the Sacramento River, the campground provides miles of paved walking trails, has a Discovery Center and botanical garden within walking distance. It is quiet and has manicured grounds. I have always felt safe staying there. Heidi and John are knowledgeable and competent hosts. They do a good job of managing the campground.

This campground is a great little hideaway that’s right off I-5 without feeling like there’s a freeway nearby. The camphost patrols regularly and was extremely friendly and helpful. Although the temp was high, we enjoyed our peaceful stay.

I was a bit worried about an "urban" campground, but the facilities were in good working order, and the camp host welcomed me while I was still getting parked to answer any questions and give me the bathroom codes. (I think her name was Lee.) The electricity was welcome since it was over 100 degrees when I arrived. Most importantly, I felt safe camping there. I'd camp there again if traveling on I-5.
