We spent a night at the Sycamore Grove Campground on our way up to Crater lake for labor day weekend. It was a convenient place to stop for the night, and more importantly, it was dog friendly.
Despite ongoing construction on the dam close by, the campground was not noisy (Recreation.gov had up to date warnings on their site regarding the construction, so we knew when we booked that it could be noisy).
The campground is along the banks of the Sacramento River, and is part of the Red Bluff Recreation Area, and is conveniently located just off of Interstate 5. Sycamore Grove Campground is open year-round, and has paved trails along the river, and through grasslands, wetlands, and oak woodlands - a perfect place to burn off Fido's energy.
It also has incredible views of Mount Shasta, and Mount Lassen and plenty of plants and wildlife for the photography enthusiasts.
The campsites are pretty basic, with oak trees for shade, and level grassy fields they are perfect to pitch a tent, however the sites are not very private. There facilities are clean, and can be accessed by a locked keypad at night - code is available from the hosts who live on the premises, and very helpful.
All in all a great place to break journey or to stay a few nights if you are so inclined.
