We camped here in a 40' 4 slide motor home using our Good Sam discount. Personnel were very nice and helpful. The road going into the campground was dusty but pretty smooth. This is a treed campground with dirt, fire pit and table. It does have a swimming area. This is on a working cattle ranch. We would probably check out another campground in the area, is we were passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A decent park for a quick stop. The access road leading in and out is very narrow. I'm not sure how it would work if two motorhomes with dinghys happened to be coming and going at the same time. I'm glad we didn't have to find out. Not many sites have sewer connections. I doubt we would stay here in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a great little family park! It is older and not squeaky clean but it is spacious, the staff is very friendly and accommodating and the WiFi out in the middle of nowhere was superb. There is no swimming pool but the streamside swimming area was a hit with the kids. If the restrooms and showers were a bit more up to date, this park would receive a "10" in my evaluation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great location for easy access to Mt. Lassen, Burney Falls, and Subway Cave. Stocked pond was great, my four year old landed a couple nice trout in just a few minutes. Our site was very spacious. Showers were clean. I would recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We’ve camped here over the last 30-years in tents and now in our travel trailer. The owners of the park and its employees are local folks who are genuinely friendly and hard working individuals! I can’t recommend this park enough. Many grass sites, full hookups, clean and quiet most of the time, swimming beach, lots of shade, small store, lots of things to do for the kids (playground) and adults, fishing at their private pond, all sorts of recreation in this picturesque area including hang gliding and R/C slope soaring on nearby Hat Creek Rim, hiking, biking, boating, golf, and sightseeing that includes views of Mt. Shasta and Lassen. A side trip up to the Forest Service Lookout at nearby Burney Mountain (a 20-mile drive from the park to the top of this 7,800’ peak) will give you a 360 degree panoramic view of the world that few ever see (this is a 2-wheel drive dirt road but good ground clearance is advised). Hereford Ranch is a working cattle ranch so on rare occasions you get to observe cowboys (and cowgirls) working the cattle. Our kids went from toddlers to adulthood here and we’ve always felt the area was safe and secure (we never just let them run free throughout the park) and have never experienced vandalism or loss of property. Major summer holidays the RV Park fills so advanced reservations are advised. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Located in a beautiful ranch setting. Great owners & manager. Off highway. Stocked pond, Keep fish, 5 per day. Price went up from $7 to $10 a day. Kids under 12 should be cheaper, perhaps one fish limit. Close to attractions, subway caves, Mt. Lassen, Burney Falls, Fish Hatchery. Great for a week's vacation with kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. From what I could tell, the tent sites were apart from the rv sites. Very friendly CG Mngr. He went out of his way to find a grill for us to use during our stay so that we could cook our dinner meals in the fire pit. The campground has a lake for fishing which lets you keep the fish and includes a cleaning station. Also has an area roped off for family swimming that is not too deep. Has a play area for the kids that includes a swing set. Nice grassy sites with plenty of shade offer lots of room for those with multiple slides. Very nice place and will definately go back every year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice spot, very nice people. More than a half mile off Highway 89, very quiet. Nice tall trees for shade, pond for fishing, very nicely maintained grounds and roads. We'll definitely go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Had a nice grassy site that wasn't on the lake. People that worked there were friendly and the meals in the restaurant were very good. It would have been nice if the store & restaurant would have opened before 9:00 A.M. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were in site 56A which faced the cabins. Site was large with table and fire pit. Staff and personnel were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant was very good and fairly priced. WI-FI was OK. We did not have any cell service from Verizon. Telephone booths are available for credit card use. We'd probably stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have camped here the last four years in a 38 foot motorhome, with slides. No problem with access road, or dirt. Best hidden secret in Northern California as far as I am concerned. Wonderful staff, and clean campground/RV Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The camp sites are large and shaded. Many pull-throughs. The park borders a forest so there is a lot of wildlife. The park also has a small lake, nice store and helpful staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Quaint little lake with hook and release fishing. Close to Hat Creek for great fishing. Convenient registration and clean semi-level grounds. Great store and out-door barbeque grill. Night personnel very friendly and accommodating. Upon making reservations we asked for a lake side site and paid for a lake side site. I was given a few different sites that had the lake view bur upon arrival we were put in the spot recommended and the view was completely blocked by tall thicket, thus therefore no view. We were disappointed and asked the next day to move to a site that had a view and that was open. We were told they were completely full. That night, the campground was not full at all. So being lied to was quite disheartening and very much a let down. This is a great campground but I would check it out for sites prior to taking their recommendations and watch for those lies. We will return in the future but with site knowledge this time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The lake was a pond, small and sad. Half of the sites were very close to the highway with big trucks going by at all hours. There were no patrols at night, and when contacted about unruly guests, the managers declined to enforce the quiet time. Most of the people there were nice retired people with their dogs, very quiet. However, we found the park so small that when two groups got very loud and disrespectful, it really affected our trip. Both the RV and camping sites were small, there was not much privacy which probably enhanced the noise problem. The bathrooms were clean and nice, the shower house was lovely with hot water. However, we will not be returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The "lake" was more of a pond, but still scenic. The sites had a cable TV outlet but no working cable. Everything else worked fine. We didn't check out the bath house but thought the park was nice. It's more camping than rving. There was road noise on side of park closer to highway. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice Park. We are 65 feet long, plenty of room. Sites along road may have some highway noise, but we were farther back in the park. Well stocked store, reasonable rates. We stayed a week, and will stay again. Several shady sites available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had FHU site #41 which was level dirt/gravel with some shade, next to the laundry room; laundry was clean and well maintained. Our site was not on the pond but we were treated to a chorus of frogs every evening. The park roads were easy to navigate; we have a 30 ft class A. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful and we liked the wooded, natural quality of the park. Lassen Volcanic NP was a nice day trip although much of the park was still closed for the season. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found the park staff to be unfriendly/rude. We had prepaid cash for one full week, had an emergency with our pets and had to leave after 4 days, not a penny of refund! We had quite a bit of road noise Will not be going back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had a site around the pond, which was entertaining, to watch the ducks during the day, and the bats at sunset. We didn't like the fact that we had to move our rig for the last day, because someone else was coming, but they never showed. Only a few of the sites are shady, most are in full sun. The restrooms were never cleaned in 4 nights we stayed there. The men's restroom had somethine that looked like feces on the stall wall, and there were numerous cobwebs and other insect debris on the floors. The laundry room was very nice, and the store well stocked. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice clean park. Owners are friendly and will do what they can to accomodate their visitors. Restaurant open Thursday-Sunday. Park has a large lake for fishing, float tubes, etc. Laundry is clean and so are the restrooms and showers. Recommend this highly. Borders national forest for hikers, dogs, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've been here twice, the last time was for Thanksgiving. It is a nice small park, close to Highway 89 but the noise is not disturbing as there is not much traffic at night. The pond is small and is for catch and release fishing but nice to look at and fun for kids. There are not a lot of facilities for kids but plenty of trails through BLM land to the back of the property. Close to Hat Creek for trout fishing, to Burney Falls, Lassen Park, plus the towns of Burney and Fall River Mills. The park is open year round but it can be cold and snow bound in the winter, summers are pleasant temperatures with cool nights (yes, we used to live in the area but, no, I don't work for the park). The staff is friendly the store was well stocked for a small park store, and the cafe serves good food. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
