Sycamore Grove (Red Bluff) Campground

The CG looks like a city park that someone built campsites in. Lots of green grass. Road is narrow and one way and because we had a pull-thru on the left our door was facing into the road instead of the site. There was a young tree in our site with branches overhanging the site making it difficult to get in. There are also lots of low hanging branches over the road. Even at 13 ft high we were scraping some of them. There was a camp host and they were nice. Maintenance is lacking here. And what maintenance is done is half-baked. (I wanted to use another word here!) And work done is not to code. Restroom was mostly clean, but no one cleans above 5 ft high nor do they properly clean otherwise there would not be hard water stains. You need a code to get into the bathroom. The showers get warm, and take quarters. But there is no sign telling you that it takes quarters or tokens or how many for how long. I got about 4 minutes per quarter. There are tons of hand written (poorly written) signs taped up everywhere. Very unprofessional. The only plus for me was that I did see armed law enforcement rangers patrolling the campground. Made me feel better given the sketchy people coming in. There is a gate that is supposed to lock at night. I even got an email with the gate code. But someone has run over the post so there is no way to unlock the gate and no one looks like they are interested in fixing it.

Very nice and quiet campground. Close to I-5 but very little road noise. Nice walking trails and good restaurants near by.

Fantastic host(s). Friendly, helpful. Very clean grounds and facilities. Well kept. Far enough from freeway - no highway noise. Definitely recommend this campground.

Nice place if you need a stop going from Southern California to points north. Clean well kept park with electric hook ups.

Great place, new to camping so this place really worked out. It's a park campground that has paths and trails along the sac river. I paid $40 for 2 nights and nothing else. Each spot has a water tap, 2 grills (wrist-high grill and one on top-backside of the fire pit), and vehicle parking(park on cemet only). Close enough to red bluff to get supplies and etc if needed but far enough to feel remote. Most people who stayed had rv's but some had tents. The hosts are really nice and helpful where they can be. Make sure to get your campfire permit tho cause they might ask to see it.
