Spacious, level, rock sites with nice fire pits. Short drive to lava tube and Lassen National Park. Very nice people/staff. Definitely a place we will visit again.

Date:

Beautiful falls. Path/hike takes you from top to the bottom. If you complete the circle, it will take you down the creek a bit through a beautiful temperate climate unique to the area, rare for California, with lush greenery. It continues back to the top and completes a circle. Very nice hike. Trail can be taken to Lake Britton PSEA camp as well.

Date:

Very nice staff and well stocked store. Located away from town along a creek. Spread out park, lower area along creek was very nice for access to swim and cool off with short walk. Lots of shade and 5th wheel trailer with extra bathrooms/showers specifically for the use of campers. Uphill walk to get to store but worth the walk to stay down by the creek.

Absolute must do while visiting Grants Pass! Pricey but worth every penny. Food was great, wine and beer was cheap but included. Boat ride was incredible. Saw a lot of wildlife including bald eagles, osprey, heron, deer.

Very fun cave tour. Road is narrow and windy but take your time, it's worth the drive. There is an old hotel, originally built in the 20's, on site which would be a great place to stay for a romantic getaway. A lot of history, easy walk through the caves. The gift shop is reasonable and the café has great food with an old 50's diner feel.

A lot of animals at this park. Very fun place for a family visit. Opportunity to handle/pet many animals that you would not normally get close to. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. animals all appeared in good health and happy. Plan to spend some time at this park, half day at least would be best but if limited, still worth a visit.

Not really a lighthouse anymore. Unfortunately it is privately owned now but it is still kept to look similar. This picture is accurate. The structure can only be seen from the parking lot of the hotel below it (the roof tops you see at from the hotel).
