Last Stop: Railroad Park RV Park and Resort


Mount Shasta is a dominating presence on the skyline.




Castle Crag Mountains form a backdrop.


Each restored caboose is a motel room and can accommodate a family of five.


We had a wonderful dinner in the dining car restaurant.

Gene selected Dunsmuir as our last campsite in northern California. Relatives of Jan Crabb vacationed here every summer, and Gene always wanted to see it. Just south of the city of Mt. Shasta, Dunsmuir is right off I-5 and next to the railroad.

The RV park we chose is back off the highway about half a mile and just up the road from the Railroad Resort. Over the past 40 years, the owners have been developing the property. It's in a pristine location along Little Crag Creek. Several railroad cabooses have been completely restored and turned into hotel rooms. Dining cars are now a restaurant. They've added a swimming pool, spa and diverted water to a pond that campers can use for swimming.

Best of all, Castle Crag mountains create a backdrop that glows in the morning sun and Mount Shasta is a short drive to the north.
