We thought we booked a camping spot at Oak Bottom Campground at Whiskeytown Lake in Shasta County. Sadly, we arrived at 6pm and the next day were told that it was a private campground and had to pay for the site at there marina shop. I know I booked on recreation.gov and looked up specifically Oak Bottom Campground at Whiskeytown Lake. We went to the visitors center at WHISKEYTOWN LAKE and the ranger said it happens all the time and to ask for a refund. Just what I want to do when I’m on vacation with little cell service. Super disappointed since the actual campground was another 3 hours north and we wanted to camp at Whiskeytown Lake. The Recreation.gov sight has given me similar problem at June Lake and I am very frustrated using it. I am not happy with it at all. Luckily we were able to stay at the private campground but had to pay again. Super disappointing with recreation.gov.

We camped in site 17 within this beautiful campground. Very well cared for, friendly and helpful hosts, and such photogenic surroundings. The only irritant was noise from the highway but we realize you can't do much about that. While we were originally disappointed we couldn't get a site within Redwoods, we now realize that was a blessing in disguise. We would definitely camp here again!

Very nice campground. Dillon Creek itself is about as beautiful a large creek as on can find on the Klamath. Deep blue pools of crisp water shaded by steep walls covered in lush growth. Away from the hi-way and very quiet. Easy access to the mighty Klamath River. However bring your own water as the H2o system there is busted.

Our campsite had plenty of room and good ground for two tents and overall the campground facilities are well-maintained. There is some road noise from Hwy 299 nearby but not to the point it was bothersome. Boise Creek is less than 2-miles from Willow Creek and convenient for meals and other supplies you may need for your stay.

Keep your options open

Watch for a matching campsite across monitored campgrounds in Six Rivers National Forest.

Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in November, when about 11% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 2 years of reservations.
