TravelerReally easy trail was about a mile past the coordinates on google map but it’s a very obvious dirt road. Stayed at the 5th site in which is spacious and has a few paths for small hikes.
GuideThere are pull offs along the road that you could do a quick overnight
ScoutWe stayed on a weekday night. The park is small, but the location off I-5 and Hwy 97 is extremely convenient. Our packet was waiting for us when we arrived, our pull through site was level and the owners were very nice. The park is perfect for a short stay and we will make this a regular stop on our route.
TravelerI didn’t want to ruin the rating but it’s somewhat hard to find down a dirt path. Would recommend for 4 wheel drive only
LegendWe stayed over night and will do so again. The park is beautiful! Close to the mountain for skiing. Close to the lake for skiing. Nancy the manager was extremely helpful! We found this to have an old fashioned touch. Garbage facilities close by! Our Starlink worked extremely well here
ScoutAbout 15 min off the I-5 and climbing most of the way. High and dry. Great view of Shasta Mtn. 8 campers here in mid May. All 2 wheel low clearance accessible. 8 or more still available for higher clearance vehicle. T-Mobile reception good.
ScoutPaying for sites could be better, and I think it's unfair that year after year the same people get the good spots like waterfront areas.
TravelerBreath taking view of the lake
TravelerBeautiful creek running through so many different trails to choose from. Nice and shady
