Our Take
What makes Brandy Creek RV Campground special
Brandy Creek RV Campground is a compact, well-positioned base for exploring Whiskeytown National Recreation Area just 13.5 miles west of Redding, California. With 16 RV-only sites offering partial shade from surrounding oaks and pines, it caters specifically to travelers who want lakeside recreation with the comfort of their rig. Whiskeytown Lake's clear waters are the main attraction — the marina and sandy beach sit a short drive or bike ride from camp, opening up swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and excellent bass and trout fishing. The recreation area also hides four stunning waterfalls along short trails, making for perfect morning hikes before afternoon lake time. Spring through fall is the operating season, with summer temperatures often topping 100 degrees, which makes that lake access essential. Sites fill quickly on summer weekends, so reservations are strongly recommended. The campground is straightforward and no-nonsense, which RV travelers appreciate. Best for RV owners who want convenient access to a beautiful, relatively uncrowded NRA lake without the chaos of larger reservoir campgrounds.
