Camping trip north to Oregon

May 2004

We are contemplating taking a family camping trip northward, ending up in Salem Oregon, this summer. Anyone out there have some recommendations of where we ought to camp en route, and esp. what campgrounds in Lassen Nat'l Park we ought to stay in? We'd like to avoid too many RVs, but at the same time, I do want running water and am not averse to plumbing (although I can live with composting toilets and the like). Thanks! Wendy

Lassen National Park

We went to Oregon last summer. A great place to camp in California is Lake Siskiyou near Mt Shasta-it's a nice private campground and the lake is wonderful. In Oregon, Silver Falls State Park is beautiful-all these different waterfalls, nice camping, really lovely. Hope this helps. Me

We have also camped at Patrick's Point State Park, way up in Humboldt County. It's on the ocean, really gorgeous too, can be cold and foggy, but the campground is really nice and low key. Lots of hiking, walking onthe beach, seals, etc. Then there is Humboldt Redwoods State Park, slightly more inland. Fabulous campground (I think there are several). Very peaceful. I thnk there is an RV area and a tent/tent trailer area. We tent camp and I don't remember ever being bothered by lots of RV's wherever we've gone so, though I don't remember, most places have either had RV's separate from tents or there just weren't a lot around. Good luck and have fun. happy camper
