Mendocino/Red Bluff-Sycamore Grove RV Park, Red Bluff, CA

Very nice camping spot with lots of green grass, trees and shade at the campsites. Bathrooms were clean. I believe they had showers too. Some really nice walking a bike trails around too. Boat launch and a couple small areas to swim. Be careful swimming as it's a river with a current and no life guards. Water is cold but so clean. I would definitely come back. Red Bluff can get very very hot in summer but this place has lots of big trees with shade covering the campsites. Bunch of big beautiful oak trees and then some big cottonwood trees making a very nice Grove. Awesome views of Mount Shasta in some spots too. Check out the paved trail for the best view of Mount Shast.

Lots of bugs. Need quarters for shower. Although didn't have tent. Tried to make shift a sleeping place for the night. Camp host came over as soon as I arrived. She was pleasant, but unable to place my hammock  as trees to far apart. Haven't checked bathrooms or showers.one night then on the road again.

Quiet smaller campground. Enjoyed our stay, close enough to town if you forgot something. Bathrooms are clean and have showers. People respected the quiet time. Boat ramp close by. Pull-through & back-in sites with water and electricity, and tent sites available. If you're looking for inexpensive camping this is it. Camp hosts are very nice and informative. We had sites 14 & 15 both pull-through, water & electricity. Plenty of room for 11 people (1 travel trailer and 3 tents) had plenty of room for the kids to run and play between the 2 sites. These sites lacked shade around the picnic tables but we knew that ahead of time because we visited before hand and brought our screened in canopy

Stayed one night at sycamore camp grounds, red bluff, ca. and quickly realized the community had filtered a big amount of the homeless population to the park. Loud obnoxious, suspicious activity all night. Finished up with a altercation at daybreak between their population in which 911 was called. I would be concerned leaving my trailer here to get supplies and basic safety. I hate it for those who had children for all the chaos. Apparently common occurrence as of late. I wouldn't recommend this place and definitely won't be coming back.

I'll add my two cents. All the amenities mentioned are spot on. Green grass, trails and a nature preserve next door with some amazing local info!  I hate giving away my gem spots but this one deserves recognition. I'd like to address the couple who are the camp hosts.  They both work hard throughout the day/evening and it shows in the camps condition!  Clean and well trimmed all the time!  Most people may avoid a host chat unless they have a problem but I would encourage you to stop and say hello when they are not too busy!  It is a throwback to hosts of years ago in how warm and friendly they are.  Get a spot near them and just watch how they treat the guests to this park and you will see what I mean.  Not affiliated and no dog on the fight but this is a gem in a world of stone.
P.S.  Treat it as such!!

Very nice campground with great trails. I'm not sure why healthy people bring large RVs with them when camping but bringing your home really disturbs the natural beauty of this campground.  No worries though walk out on the trails and you can get a real feel for Red Bluff Recreation Area and the nature of this area.  They could use another set of hosts here, the friendly hosts seem stretched rather thin.

We stayed here for a week in early October and had a lovely experience. The camp hosts greeted us immediately and were very friendly. The campground wasn’t busy and was well kept and quiet - including the bathrooms! Great location. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Very nice campground with partial hook ups, they offer water and electric but no sewer hook up or dump station. Very quiet beautiful park on the Sycamore river near downtown Red Bluff, would definitely recommend.

Small but nicely maintained campsite.
The host was friendly and informative.

Would have been perfect if there were more bathrooms.

A very nice campground considering the location, near town and near the I-5.
The camp host was excellent, running a "tight ship" while being very polite.
Clean restrooms.
We camped in early Spring, so temperatures were quite mild, but it likely is hot in the summer.
No dump station near by (at least they I could find)

I wouldn’t suggest anyone staying at this campground. The area is overran with homeless and transients. The host site looks like a dump. We packed up and moved to the KOA like others who’ve left reviews and it was a great decision. I’d rather burn $30 then have to stay at this campground. Should be called the sycamore grove shelter.

So far, it's been lovely! Obviously hot in July but only about 10 minutes from Red Bluff and 2 from the beautiful lake! The lake has a few very pretty flower and trees trail that I'm sure is gorgeous in the spring.

Nice place to camp in Red Bluff, Mendocino National Forest. The campsites are all on the grass, some under trees but there's not much separating each site from another. So if your neighbor's are noisy or have a bunch of kids then you will hear them.

There's a fire pit, BBQ and picnic table for each site. Some sites have hookups for water and electricity for an extra fee.

Regular campsites are $16 and can only be paid online with a debit or credit card through Recreation.Gov.

They DO NOT accept CASH here.

There is an onsite host 24/7 who is a little rough around the edges but overall is pretty good at communicating with campers and keeping the grounds maintained.

Bathrooms for men and women w/showers .25 for 4 minutes.
Hot and cold water.

The river is close by and boat launch. There are a couple of trails to walk and check out all of the neat birds that migrate to the area. We found some awesome wild blackberries growing along the paths.

It is very hot all day and all night. We stayed in July. It is definitely not a place to camp to get away from people but it is nice if you want to mingle with other campers. DOGS are welcome.
