There's a nice playground for the kids & BBQ'n area (I believe you have to make RSVP for this area), but it's great for family get together, or receptions!

I think the fountain goes off at 6p and sometimes its entirely too HOT in Redding to be out there in the hours before that time, not to mention working parents may be at work thru the weekdays. I fear that the rocks on display, ( actual rocks )that kids jump dangerously, make it difficult to sit through,thinking a child may get seriously injured. The rocks should be made of foam or astro turf of some kind. Making it safer for some of our fearless children.

THE PARK. Fawndale Oaks RV Park is a lovely country park, up against mountains to the south and…read moreeast, nestled in a valley of gorgeous trees at the end of Fawndale Road. If you want to be removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet not too far removed, this is the park for you--residing about 10 miles north of Redding off the 5 Freeway. Adding to the feel of country are deer, wild turkeys, foxes, peacocks and pea hens, owls, other birds, and more. Today I saw a herd of wild turkeys coming into the park to munch on leaves and such and a lovely young buck meandering down a park road. The other day looking out a window in my trailer, I delighted in watching 2 does, each with 2 fawns, and a buck quietly passing the evening as they munched on a meal of greens. In addition to the wildlife, there are friendly pets in the park, like dogs and cats. A frequent, gentle, evening breeze coming from the southeast cools the park in warmer weather, which can be 5+ degrees cooler than the lower city of Redding. SURROUNDING ACTIVITIES. A quick jaunt up the 5 freeway takes you to Lake Shasta offering many Wonderland activities--like boating, fishing, water-skiing, swimming, tubing, wakeboarding, camping, hiking, hunting, and mountain biking. In addition to the lake area, Redding and the nearby City of Shasta Lake offer a variety of fun, interesting activities throughout the year. There is much to do, or you can just enjoy a quiet stay in the park. PARK MANAGEMENT. I value management that operates in exceptional professionalism, integrity and commitment to their customers--I have found that very true of the park managers, Shannon and Cary. They excel at setting up their park guests for success. I had no experience living in a camper trailer before coming to Fawndale Oaks RV Park. From before I arrived at their park to my being a month-to-month guest, they have provided me with the information and set up and ongoing support I needed to succeed at camper living. They also foster a community of respect and thoughtful living among the guests in their park and provide park security that gives one a feeling of safety in both the days and nights. AN ENJOYABLE STAY. Whether you are passing through Redding, visiting for a short time, or need a month-to-month place for your RV or camper trailer, you (adults and children alike) will enjoy the country-living atmosphere and friendly community of Fawndale Oaks RV Park. If you are an outdoor type, this rustic, country park is for you. I see people picnicking outside their trailers in the cool of the evening under the trees as I smell the barbeques making delightful food for them to enjoy. I see people walking down the park roads soaking in the country ambience and shade of the trees. A full-service park with some pull-through spaces and spaces surrounded by trees, you, I know, will enjoy your stay at this park. Shannon and Cary, two of the most delightful people, will welcome you.

At 9:15 we grabbed one of the several unoccupied spots, at 9:16 we were greeted by a cranky little fella that asked where we were headed. I replied here for the night . He told me "no your not, get out" . Keep in mind several campgrounds in the area are starting to look like meth villages with crappy rigs that the next time they will be moving they will be crushed in a dumpster. This one looked just above that level. We wound up at Boulder Creek right down the road with a nice tree lined spot, neighbors with nice rigs and 50 amp service. If a nice quiet place with no crabby older gentleman is on your bucket list, avoid Fawndale Oaks. I'm posting an image of our rig as I doubt the overall appearance had any thing to do with Fawndale's attitude

It includes a bathroom as well, though as of Christmas 2017, no hand sanitizer was to be found. :) The park connects to at least one trailhead frequented by cyclists and equestrians, and another trailhead originates nearby.
