Over Looked

This is a small Arizona State Park that is sort of “under the radar” and overlooked, maybe in part because there is no sign at the entrance! It is immaculately kept, with paved level sites, river access and a hiking trail. Very close to a convenience store for extra provisions.

Away From It All

This can be a great escape destination from the densely populated Phoenix area. Best to stay during the week if you can to miss the weekend crowds. Hilly location makes for a good variety in camping sites. Two separate campgrounds; Roadrunner and Desert Tortoise.

Dated but Handy

If you like neat and tidy, pass this one up. The people are nice, nothing is clean. The park is large and dated. A lot of sites are used by working guys and long term stays. Antenna TV is better than their cable. We could not access the WiFi. It is however, very easy to access off of Highway 99, the sites are shaded, and we will probably return.

Birding Paradise

This RV park is a bird watchers paradise. Although the park is a combination mobile home park and RV park it is a very open design surrounding a lake. Some campsites are right on the lakes edge. There is an amazing variety of birds to enjoy in a landscaped park setting.

Off the Beaten Path

Juanita Lake is just far enough off of the beaten path to be largely unknown. It is however easily accessed by a paved road, albeit a few chuck holes. The lake is easy to access for walking or fishing by a paved path. The campground and sites are all paved. I found the campground clean and quiet. 6/10/12

Natural Setting

Fish Lake Campground is in wonderful natural woodsy setting right on the shoreline of Fish Lake. The RV sites are for the most part fairly small for large RVs, but Doe Point Campground next door to the west has larger sites. Conveniently located to the east is the Fish Lake Resort complete with store, café, and RV Park with full hook-ups.

Border Line Park

This is a border line park in more ways than one. It is right on the Oregon/California Border, in fact the address is State Line Road, and right across the road is California. Unfortunately, the park is border line in another way, in the sense that it’s almost a good park. On our stay the water was undrinkable, the ranger or camp hosts, not available. It is handy for people traveling Highway 31, and those people are few, so my guess is that it’s never crowded.

Amazing Recreational Opportunities

Due to its unique location this park has way more to offer than the average RV park. To begin with it is located right on the Sacramento River. But there is more, right next door is the large Tehama County River Park, a day use facility, and next to it is the huge Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area. On the east side of Woodson Bridge RV Park is the 1,140 acre Rio Vista Unit of the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge. My advice is to stay in the Woodson Bridge RV Park and enjoy all its facilities, and then do your recreation in the other three areas where trails abound. Don’t be alarmed at the unsightly permanent sites when you first enter the park, there are nice river front sites further in.

A Place to Return

Oregon can be proud of its State Parks, and this is just another example. This park is well laid out, can accommodate all types of users, and is very economical. It is beautifully landscapes, well maintained and clean. Location on the Rogue River is a big plus with paved bike and walking trails, noise from I-5 freeway the only minus.

Feels Like Home

This is a convenient stop for travelers headed south and have just made it over the Siskiyou Mountains of the Oregon- California border. Paved pull-throughs, friendly staff, and all the amenities make this a pleasant stop.
