Railroad Park Resort in Dunsmuir, CA

Since 1968, we've been reliving the romantic days of railroading at Railroad Park Resort. We offer exciting Dunsmuir lodging opportunities with our 23 cabooses, vintage cabins, RV hook-up sites, and tent campsites. We're also the only Dunsmuir resort with rooms catered to both families and couples in classic rail cars. Our Northern California resort is one of the most unique places to stay in California with caboose lodging. Unlike other Northern California campgrounds, Railroad Park Resort offers a little bit of everything.

Our caboose hotel in Dunsmuir also features an on-site restaurant, The Dining Car Restaurant. You can almost hear the whistle blow and the train sway as you enjoy a delicious meal prepared just for you in our galley kitchen. Can you imagine being aboard the old Southern Pacific Daylight? This restaurant is built inside restored antique railroad cars, providing a nostalgic atmosphere.

Railroad Park Resort offers a unique lodging experience that you won't find at other hotels in Dunsmuir. Live the life of a railroader by staying in one of our caboose lodging units or cabins without sacrificing the comforts of today's modern conveniences. Camp along Little Castle Creek amongst the pines in our campsites and RV hook-up sites.

We're only two miles away from the lower Castle Crags section of the Pacific Crest Trail, making us the ideal lodging option for trail hikers. You can also enjoy hiking at Castle Crags State Park that borders our property, the Castle Crags section of the Pacific Crest Trail, or the renowned Mt. Shasta. Railroad Park Resort is more than a railroad buff's delight, it's a part of our historical past.
