Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort and Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday host premium glamping accommodations nestled at the base of towering Mount Shasta. These established resorts blend outdoor adventure with upscale comfort through their diverse glamping options, which include safari-style canvas tents with proper beds and linens. Lake Siskiyou provides an exceptional lakeside setting with glamping units featuring electricity, comfortable furniture, and private decks overlooking the water. McCloud RV Resort adds yurt accommodations to the region's offerings, providing circular canvas structures with solid flooring and modern conveniences. All sites maintain a balance of natural immersion with creature comforts like proper bedding, electricity, and nearby restroom facilities with hot showers. According to a camper, "The cabin we stayed in was good as well. There's many things to do in the surrounding area including cliff jumping and swimming at the beach."
The glamping experience extends beyond comfortable accommodations to include numerous outdoor activities across these resorts. Lake Siskiyou glamping guests enjoy immediate access to the beach area with its inflatable waterpark, swimming areas, and equipment rentals including kayaks, paddle boards, and paddle boats. The lake provides a serene backdrop for water recreation with Mount Shasta towering above. Land-based activities include hiking trails that wind through pine-scented forests, basketball courts, and shuffleboard at the KOA location. McCloud RV Resort's yurts serve as ideal basecamps for exploring the surrounding wilderness. One visitor noted, "Despite being an incredibly busy campground, we had quite a peaceful experience here. Our site had a good amount of space, and although there were a lot of campers around us, we didn't feel overly cramped."
"We took 2 small children in a rented camper and went to this lake in a recommendation from friends in Mt. Shasta .. we were not disappointed!"
"Love going to Lake Siskiyou. My family has been going the week of 4th of July for almost 30 years. It has a nice beach, boat ramp, party boat rentals, general store, restaurant, bar, arcade, laundry."
"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."

Check Availability"Several people arrived after us and did not get a spot. The drive down from McCloud lake is along a dirt forestry road."
ScoutFor 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.
LegendWe stopped here on a road trip along Interstate 5. The location was conveniently close to the freeway, but still felt like a real campsite instead of traveler's stop. We couldn't hear the freeway and it had nice amenities like flush toilets. Our site was also pretty shady, which was nice in summer. It was pretty scenic; we were located just by a walking path and with a view of the river, however, the camp host did not enforce quiet hours. The large group next to us was extremely drunk and noisy and nobody ever stopped by. They took off the next morning (loudly exclaiming that they needed to pack up to avoid paying), so there was likely never an interaction with the host. We arrived late and couldn't leave to alert the host as it didn't feel safe to do so. I'm not sure where the host is situated in relation to where we were, but I suspect you could hear the party throughout the camp, throughout the night, so we were surprised that no action was taken. It didn't feel safe.
GuideThere are many camp sites here, all with a fire pit, small cabinet (think just for storage, no way are they bear proof). Camp firewood is available for purchase on site. I think the best thing about this camp site is that it is located so close to Burney falls as well as many other trails (including the Pacific Crest trail).
GuideWe 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.
GuideNice little campground right next to a pretty river. When I stayed I was the only one at the campground. The sites are near the road but it seemed to have light usage and I never heard cars in the night.
No running water (unless you filter from the river) and no trash services, just a pit toilet.
This campground is a great place to stay before heading into the Trinity Alps. A 20 minute drive on a dirt road leads to the China Gultch Trailhead, a popular trail leading to Grizzly Lake.
I would definitely recommend this site to anyone headed into the Alps.
ScoutStayed here over the 4th of July weekend. Campers were respectful of quiet hours and staff was mostly courteous. They charge for everything including an early check-in fee when we had to move sites due to reservation conflicts. Lots of children and some camp sites are on top of each other. The water was low so fishing was difficult to find. Great for families with young children and those hoping for entertainment for kids. Not great if you are looking for space and quiet.
ScoutNice, small campground near the edge of Trinity Lake. Approximately 8 campsites can be reserved and 8 are available on a first come, first serve basis. There are no showers available, but there are showers at the nearby Bushytail campground up the road. Site 1 is the only site with electric hookups. The nearby lakeshore is quite muddy (depending upon water level), but provides great fishing and boating opportunities. A nice trail runs along the campground. There is no wifi or cellular coverage. Booking the site was a little confusing because the website noted "dry camping" - we did not know what to expect based on this description. However, there IS running drinking water and bathrooms with flush toilets and sinks on-site. Advise picking up firewood before arrival. There is no firewood available for purchase on-site. However, you are able to gather available wood. There is also a small store which sells firewood 10-15 minutes away (Pinewood Cove).
GuideThis is one of my favorite campsites in California. There all the falls, which are beautiful, the lake for swimming and water sports and lots of hiking trails. The campsites are dry sites (no hookups), but they have updated bathrooms and showers. They also have cabin for rent, but you have to bring your own bedding. The visitors center is awesome and they always have programs going on for kids and adults alike. Both the falls and lake Britten is within walking distance. Even if I am not camping, I stop here to visit when going through CA.
ScoutWe stayed here for 4 weeks while traveling for work in Redding, so I think our review is well qualified. We're traveling in a 40ft RV for reference though they do also have tent spaces.
First off, I'm surprised to be the first one to review this campground on the Dyrt, since it has a lot of informative reviews on Google. We looked at a handful of other campgrounds prior to staying here. Covid and wild fires did have an effect on the other campgrounds that were open, but of those that were, I think this was one of the best.
It has all the amenities one could expect from a typical RV park, full hookups, wifi, cable, showers, laundry, etc. There's a cell tower on the way in to the campground. You can expect two to three bars of LTE from both AT&T and Verizon (we use both) . The staff is very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough about their exceptional attitudes. The spaces are all in the woods with mostly shade, though there are some that get more sunlight than others. The RV spaces are large and offer more privacy than most campgrounds. It tended to fill up on the weekends (sometimes completely) but was fairly quiet during weekdays with only a handful of people. Quiet and peaceful during the week. About thirty minutes to downtown Redding. Small gas station within walking distance, and a small grocery store in driving distance. 1.5 miles off the highway. Big rigs welcome. The website shows pictures of all the individual sites, quite helpful.
It was a mostly positive experience, but we'll mention two negatives. The bathrooms sometimes got pretty dirty on the busy weekends and ran out of supplies at times. Hard to say if the pandemic was causing short staff or not though. The other issue is the bears. Its wasn't an issue of them bothering us, we only physically saw them one time in four weeks. They got into the trash pretty regularly though. It was very evident in the morning when the cans would be knocked over and rummaged through. It could be easily solved with some bear-proof trash cans. Not really a big deal and it didn't have any effect on our stay.
We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in the area. Checkout the reviews on Google for more perspective.
Mount Shasta dominates the landscape around Weed, California, with its 14,179-foot volcanic peak creating distinct microclimates for campers. The region experiences substantial temperature swings between day and night, with summer daytime highs typically reaching the 80s but dropping into the 40s after sunset. Glamping accommodations near Weed typically close during winter months when snowfall makes access challenging.
River swimming and floating: At Tree Of Heaven Campground, visitors can access the Klamath River for cooling off during hot summer days. "We found a rope swing hanging on a tree and tied up and did some rope swing fun into the lake," shares Margo A., who also enjoyed renting kayaks and a pontoon boat during their stay.
Fishing in mountain waters: Anglers find numerous spots around Mount Shasta for catching fish. At Ah-Di-Na Campground, "River access leads to a pebble beach and there are deep pockets of water for fishing. It gets crowded in the afternoon as people swim and sunbathe so early morning or late evening is your best shot at landing some fish," advises Therese L.
Trail exploration: Several campgrounds offer hiking opportunities through forested areas. "There are hiking trails, a marina, general store, and a beach," notes Sarah L. about McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. The falls provide a cooling microclimate, as Rob M. explains: "if you walk down to the bottom of the falls it's like a natural air conditioner."
Spacious sites with privacy: Many campers appreciate when sites offer enough space between neighbors. At Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday, "Lots of trees in the sites great for hammocking (in the tent sites)," reports Suzanne P., who also notes the "cute town and peaceful campground" atmosphere.
Convenient access to town: Proximity to local services makes resupply trips easy. The KOA's location provides "a short walk to Mount Shasta city down town area," according to Ann N., who adds: "I generally don't like KOA campgrounds because they feel like small cities. This KOA is different in that even though it has all the amenities and comforts of home it still is removed enough from the hussle and bussles of the city."
Natural features: Water access ranks highly with campers. "The entire campground and day use area are located right on the Klamath River," explains Darin D. about Tree of Heaven Campground. "A number of groups drove upstream a couple miles and floated back down to the campground. You can also float downstream a couple of miles to a haul out point and get a ride back."
Road conditions can be challenging: Some glamping spots require careful driving to access. For Toad Lake Campground, Adam H. warns: "Toad Lake is a pristine mountain lake accessible only via a long, rough, and rocky single lane dirt road. Take this road only is you have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle with suitable clearance and are comfortable driving on such mountain roads."
Seasonal crowds: Popular locations fill quickly during peak periods. "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," says Crystal K. about Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort.
Insect preparation: The region's water features mean mosquitos can be prevalent. "Mosquitos are everywhere so be prepared. In the early evening it got so bad that I wore a headnet," shares Therese L. about her experience at Ah-Di-Na Campground.
Water activities for kids: Numerous family-friendly water options exist near Weed. At Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort, "We took 2 small children in a rented camper and went to this lake... we were not disappointed! 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 Margo A.
Budget considerations: Some campgrounds charge extra fees for children. Cindy J. notes about Lake Siskiyou: "I would have gave a higher score but felt the over charge as rate only included 2 ppl most ppl camping have children with them I don't agree with the charge per child they also charge per pet and per vehicle after one."
Wildlife awareness: Parents should monitor children around natural hazards. "There is some poison oak in the area, and we spotted a rattlesnake, so keep your eye out with pets or kids," advises Darin D. about Tree of Heaven Campground.
Site selection: RVers should research site specifics before booking. At McCloud RV Resort, susan R. warns: "The spaces in the 120's were very small your neighbors slide is in your space! The sewer lines for your neighbor is in your site!"
Water pressure caution: Some campgrounds have utilities that require adjustments. Steven H. shares about McCloud RV Resort: "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. Then attach the hose and filter."
Strategic timing: Off-peak visits offer better experiences. "We've stayed at this campground twice now. Each time was in the summer and for only one night each time," writes Amanda W. about Mount Shasta City KOA Holiday, noting, "It's about 2 miles from the I5, which eliminates road noise, while still being an excellent overnight stop."
