Hat Creek Hereford Ranch RV Park & Campground - Hat Creek, CA.

We camped here with the Silver Wheels RV Group out of Reno/Sparks with great friends. You'll see by the photos that we all had a great stay albeit some had to leave early becuase of heavy smoke from a huge forest fire in the area.

Hat Creek is located in Shasta County, California and is situated at an elevation of 3,422 feet (1,043 m). The 2010 United States census reported Hat Creek's population was 309.

Hat Creek is located 26 miles (42 km) north of Lassen Park, 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Burney (9 miles (14 km) south of the junction of hwy 89 and 299), and 15 miles (24 km) south of Burney Falls. Hat Creek is home to the Hat Creek Radio Observatory, run by SRI International.

The town's main economies are tourism, fishing, camping, and lodging. It's still a travel hot spot in Shasta County, although it's about 70 miles (110 km) east of Redding, California and about the same to Susanville, California.
