Whiskeytown National Recreation Area

I love the group sites here, they are big with almost private beach front. I wish the parking situation was better but it’s still better in group sites than it is in single sites! My only gripe is there is two sites in dry creek group camping G01 and G02 they aren’t marked at the sites so it gets a bit confusing!

The entire campground is very nice and private. The creek is within walking distance from all the sites. It's great for families, and it's very quiet. The only thing that may bother some is the sap that continuously drips from some oak trees. It gets on everything. Other than that, it's a great place.

It was quite. The shade was nice and lasted much of the day, The sound from the creek was soothing, Not far from the lake, Good thing we had our propane firepit as I can't imagine a camping trip without a fire. Trees did drip drops of black stuff but it washed off of the tents and whatever else caught one of them, Over we had a good time and would do it again,

I love this campground . Yes it’s primitive but it’s so lovely . The creek is beautiful and refreshing and the campground is secluded and charming.

Lush and green despite the fires taking out the forest around (that have grown in quite nice). Just up the road is a nice 3 mile hike to a waterfall. That hike is also still lush and green because it’s near the creek. Most of that hike is in the shade which is nice and you can feel it getting cooler as the hike goes near the creek. The campsite is beautiful and has a fantastic view of the Creek so I could watch the kids without going down. The campsite stays in the shade most of the time which combined with the lush green and the ice cold water is a great way to escape the heat. this site is better than the other because you get more flat space areas creating private hangout spots perfect for teenagers and adults alike. There is one spot that gets more sun, which is perfect for drying out your clothes and it’s far enough away that you can’t see it but not so far that it’s inconvenient. this was a very private campsite. The other site is out of view and you only share a bathroom. The only downside would be a very short unpaved drive down to the site can be scary to the unexperienced. My Toyota rav 4 made it just fine in normal drive. 10 out of 10 would camp again (not during a rain storm)

Loved that it was close to the water, just a short walk. Pavement campground, but in the trees. Potable and non potable water near the campsites as well as garbage bins. We didn't see any bears, Only 1 or 2 bear proof bins for storage, would be nice to have one at every site possibly. Camp hosts left us alone which was fine, but other campgrounds the host introduces themselves and lets you know to contact them if you need anything. Overall, my friends and I loved the stay. Our things were safe, it was quiet , so we enjoyed our getaway.
