    Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday

    Great campsites, horrific bathrooms

    We stayed for a week and our campsite was great. Lots of trees for shade, solid fire ring, polite staff. This is a great location for exploring the Mount Shasta area. However, KOA prides itself as a brand who delivers clean bathrooms and these were horrific. Each time was an horrifying adventure with either muddy dirt strewn floors, giant hair clumps, full toilets, etc. There were the cheapest plastic shower curtains that mostly resembled Saran Wrap which led to the water on the floor issue. There was only 1 stool in 1 shower so everyone else put your stuff on the filthy floor or use the 1 hook to hold your towel, yesterday’s clothes, today’s new clothes and your toiletries. I never felt clean leaving that bathroom which made the week stay more arduous than necessary. There was a woman who we saw cleaning the bathroom twice a day and it was the only bathroom for a rather large and busy campsite. Coming from other KOA which are cleaned every hour this was an adjustment.

    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    Great weekend in Mount Shasta

    How fantastic the whole Mount Shasta region is at this time of year. No mosquitoes! The Lake was crowded this week but the water was clean and great for swimming. Lake Siskiyou is a great base camp for exploring Lee Shasta wilderness.

    Tip. stock up on supplies at Ray's in mount shasta city. The camp ground store is predictably expensive

    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    Large, spaced out sites, water & bathrooms, serentiy

    If you don't mind quite a few neighbors, this campground is awesome. There are numerous spaces and you can really get far away from people if you'd like to- as the bulk of them stay nearest the water.  There are bathrooms, flush toilets, showers, a café, ice cream shop, and kayak/paddleboard/paddleboat rentals at the lake- not to mention a huge inflatable play area. The campground is large and spacious- enshrouded by gorgeous mixed conifers and tons of wildflowers- all with a view of Mount Shasta and lake access. What could be better for a large campground really? Only 4 miles outside of Mount shasta City. Beautiful!

    Mary Smith Campground

    Tent camping on Lewiston Lake

    We had the campground to ourselves as they hadn’t put up the glamping tents yet. We set our tents up on the platforms and had a great view of the lake and trinity alps in the distance. Birds and frogs were in abundance. The lake was too cold for swimming and the fish were hanging out in deep water so no swimming or successful fishing. This campground is hilly and one must pack gear down or up to one’s spot which was a pain but once settled it was a fun and relaxing time, pre-season.

    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    All the amenities, none of the solitude.

    This is an enourmous campground on Lake Siskiyou with every conceivable amenity, including a lakeside water park for the kids. If you are an RVer and/or traveling with kids, this is an awesome place. Lake Siskiyou is gorgeous and with its 5 mpg boat speed limit, is incredible for swimming, paddling, and fishing. Other amenities include a dirt bicycling trail around the lake, a store, restaurant, laundromat, boat launch, corded off swim area with sandy beach, and boat rentals. This is definitely not where I would go to pitch a tent, unless family was visiting with kids in tow, but if you enjoy a one stop campground/resort, this is the place. Ten minutes to golf, tennis, world class hiking and bicycling, and the town of Mount Shasta.

    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    A lot of room

    All the spots were pretty big, beautiful forest and some nice trails nearby. About a 30 minute drive from the bunny flat trail at mount shasta. There aren’t Many toiletbuildings so you have to walk further and it’s pretty busy at times.

    Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday

    Mt Shasta KOA

    For once a KOA not next to a freeway. Off the beaten path for a change. Nice grounds. I'm in a basic cabin. It's basic. No ac just a ceiling fan. Nice small queen bed with linens. Within walking distance of good restaurants. RV sites look level and large with trees near most. There is a train occasionally at night that can be annoying. 

    I recommend Mt Shasta KOA.

    Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

    Great Campground with lots to do

    This campground was the favorite of the trip. The tent sites are well spaced, the check-in process was quick and you got to speak to someone to get a map and ask any questions too. The store had everything you could've possibly forgotten, along with soft serve ice cream. The bar/restaurant had live music until 10pm. The lake and marina was a short walk. And the campground was located near the cutest downtown area of Mount Shasta. If you want dinner in town, check out Yak's for the best burger ever! This resort is great for groups, saw a lot of groups that were there for at least a week. Lots of bear activity warnings, but I didn't have any issues. Bathrooms and showers were pretty clean, nice and hot with good water pressure. Would absolutely stay here again!


Guide to Mount Shasta

Glamping accommodations around Mount Shasta sit at elevations between 3,500 and 4,500 feet, offering moderate temperatures that range from 75-85°F in summer to below freezing in winter. Many sites close during winter months when snow accumulation makes access difficult. The volcanic terrain creates natural drainage that keeps most sites dry even after rain.

What to do

Mountain hiking trails: Access the Muir Ascension trail directly from several campgrounds for moderate day hikes with views of Mount Shasta. "We took a short drive up to Castle lake at a higher elevation, a lot less people, not much sand but really nice for a picnic lunch," notes a visitor at Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort.

Water recreation options: Lake Siskiyou offers multiple water activities beyond swimming. "We rented kayaks one day and the next we rented a pontoon boat and our friends joined us. We found a rope swing hanging on a tree and tied up and did some rope swing fun into the lake," shares a camper.

Historical exploration: Visit the historic trail at Ah-Di-Na Campground for a tour of the old resort. "There is a historic trail that takes you on a tour of the old resort. River access leads to a pebble beach and there are deep pockets of water for fishing," mentions one visitor.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many glamping sites offer more room than standard campsites. "Tent sites are huge and so is the campground! We stayed pretty far away from the beach and we were all by ourselves," reports a visitor to Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort.

Natural shade coverage: The pine forests provide natural cooling during summer months. "Lots of trees for shade. Lots of things to do from boating on low MPH lake - fishing - trails around lake and a swimming hole," shares a long-time visitor who notes that even with some tree removal, the camping experience remains enjoyable.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Campers frequently spot deer and occasionally bears. "Deer wander through the campground and sometimes visit the tents," writes a regular at McBride Springs Campground. Another visitor notes, "The lovely red earth, thick green trees and uniquely beautiful blue/teal water makes for a welcoming lake day. Have seen deer and bears here."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Popular glamping sites fill quickly during peak season. "We love it here. However, it's super popular and we only go in the off season due to too many people booking in advance," advises a regular at Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort.

Cost considerations: Glamping accommodations vary widely in price. "When I'm up in Mt. Shasta this is where I camp. It's one of the less expensive campgrounds in the state, has a group camp, and the sites are far enough apart to offer some privacy," explains a regular at McBride Springs.

Access road conditions: Some glamping sites require careful driving. For McCloud RV Resort, a visitor warns about water pressure: "The water is great! Pure and cold. However, it is high pressure. It exploded our water hose! After that we learned to place our pressure regulator valve right on the faucet."

Tips for camping with families

Multiple age-appropriate activities: Families find that Lake Siskiyou offers varied options for different ages. "We took 2 small children in a rented camper. They were plenty of trees in the campground, everybody was friendly, short walk with our water toys to the nice sandy beach and lake," shares a family camper.

Seasonal facilities: Check which amenities operate year-round. At Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday, facilities include "Pool, game room, shuffle board, basketball court and off leash dog park. Lots of trees in the sites great for hammocking (in the tent sites)," notes a satisfied visitor.

Local gathering spots: Berry picking opportunities exist seasonally near some sites. "Great black berry picking throughout the campsite and a short walk to Mount Shasta city downtown area," mentions a KOA visitor who appreciates the campground's position away from urban centers.

Tips from RVers

Size limitations: Large RVs face access challenges at some sites. At McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park Campground, "Some sites have paved pads and some are dirt; since it rained hard as soon as we set up, we appreciated the pavement," notes an RVer who found the park well-maintained.

Electrical considerations: Many glamping sites offer limited electrical access. "Pretty camp ground. Lots of trees. Beware Lots of meat bees! Nice lake to swim and spend some time. Good for kids," cautions a visitor to McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park.

Supply availability: Most sites require bringing necessities. "Potable water is available and there are flushing toilets. Firewood is not available for sale here as there is no host. Either bring your own or bring a saw for collecting wood," advises an Ah-Di-Na visitor.
