Located along the Sacramento River just 4 miles south of Redding at exit 673 on I-5, this RV park puts you right where you want to be for Northern California’s outdoor recreation. The riverfront setting means your dog can access the water easily, and the shaded campsites provide relief from the summer heat that builds up in this part of the valley.

The Sacramento River is the real draw here. You’ve got excellent fishing access if that’s your thing, and the calm sections are great for floating on hot days. Your dog will appreciate the water activities too—whether that’s wading in shallow spots or just cooling off during riverside walks. The park’s location makes it a solid base for exploring the broader Redding area, including nearby hiking trails and parks around the region.

The setup is straightforward RV camping rather than glamping or resort-style amenities. You get a campsite with shade, river access, and the general quietness that comes with being right on the water instead of in the thick of town. It’s the kind of place where you can back your rig in and spend several days without feeling like you need to go anywhere else, though you’re close enough to Redding’s services and restaurants if you want them.

Getting there is simple if you’re coming from either direction on I-5. From the north, take the Knighton Road exit, turn right on Knighton Road, then immediately left onto Riverland Drive. From the south, take the Knighton Road exit, head left and cross over the freeway, then turn left onto Riverland Drive just past the southbound on-ramp. The park sits west of the interstate on Riverland Drive, so you’re not far from the highway but removed enough to feel like you’ve actually left it.
