This is one of the headwaters to the Sacramento River. A major watershed in Northern California. The park hosts a wonderful sitting area where visitors can fill their canteens directly from the spring and drink. In addition to the spring are wonderful nature walks and a play structure for kids.

These are a must-see! They're a bit of a drive, about an hour one way but so gorgeous. They're in a state park, the entry I think is $10, a short walk from the car for a grand vista! Stop in Mccloud for lunch either on the way or back!

This area has more than just camping! You can eat at the Sis-Q-Grill for a nice meal in the forest, or set up for the day at the Resort's "pay beach" where they have a lifeguard on duty and a designated swim area for the patrons. In addition, they offer SUP rentals and have an inflatable play area where you can pay to use the trampolines, etc.
