About

Sycamore Grove Campground sits along the banks of the Sacramento River at a 300-foot elevation within the 488-acre Red Bluff Recreation Area, an isolated parcel of the Mendocino National Forest. The campground offers 30 sites including single, double, and group options in a beautiful riparian environment with grassy lawns and shade from towering oak and sycamore trees. The facility provides both standard and electric sites, with ten sites offering 20, 30, and 50 amp electric hookups plus water connections. Amenities include flush and vault toilets, coin-operated showers, picnic tables, fire rings with grills, and potable water. The campground features paved roads and sites, making it accessible for RVs and trailers. Visitors can explore the 4-mile paved nature trail winding through flowering grasslands, wetlands, and oak woodlands with views of Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, and the Yolla Bolly Mountains. The Sacramento River provides opportunities for fishing (Chinook, Steelhead, and Striped Bass), boating, water skiing, jet skiing, swimming, and canoeing. The campground is located just two miles from Red Bluff, 34 miles from Redding, 40 miles from Lake Shasta, and 60 miles from Lassen Volcanic National Park.
