Dennis is correct. Redding will be as hot or hotter than Sacramento. But JCW is a great spot. Try to get a river view spot. We've stayed there several times in the past few years and always enjoyed it. While you're in Redding, head east to Mt. Lassen. It's also an area worth exploring, if the snow in the park has melted... Bumpass Hell is an amazing area of bubbling mud holes and steaming sulfur. It's a good hike from the park road.
You'll still be about an hour and a half south of Mt. Shasta while in Redding, so day trips are possible, but camping is plentiful in the Mt. Shasta area (although perhaps all booked for the weekend of July 4). Have a great trip.
If you've got a couple of weeks, you could easily take in the coast as well. At Highway 20 (Williams), head west from Interstate 5. Four hours later, you'll be in Fort Bragg, with several RV parks (Pomo is nice). From there you can head south to Bodega Bay (see my post in your other thread), and connect with 101 for the trip south.
