For the History Buffs – Overnight in a Historic Train Car

Where else can you stay in an old train car and dine in a caboose but the Railroad Park RV & Resort in Dunsmuir? Live the life of a railroader by staying in one of the caboose lodging units or in a cabin with all the modern comforts.  It’s also located just two miles from the lower Castle Crags section of the Pacific Crest Trail, making a hiking adventure right around the corner! But before dinner at the resort, slip into town to take a stroll down Main Street, where the entire downtown has been designated as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places, and pop into the Railroad Depot Museum for more information on the town’s railroad origins (visit their website for hours or contact them via dunsmuirdepot.com to set up a free private tour).

For the Die-Hards – Hunting Bigfoot

West Siskiyou is Bigfoot Country – and what’s more romantic than a megafauna treasure hunt? The forests surrounding Happy Camp have seen more sightings than anywhere, going all the way back to 1886. At the very least you’ll be able to see the stars and spend some alone time. Stay at the at the budget-friendly Big Foot RV Park and Cabins, where each cabin is unique and you’ll get great value for your vacation dollar and you can pack a picnic at Kingfisher Market across the street.
