    Wonderful campground

    This campground has full hookups, a. WiFi that is good enough to stream and it’s not a parking lot, good for tents and rv’s

    I have frequented this RV campground several times over many years.  It is sad to see it becoming run down. The once paved interior roads are now barely discernable dirt paths. They also have a fee for locking in your chosen campground site for an additional $35 fee?!?!? Once you have waited for a specific site/s to become available to reserve, under what circumstances would they deem it reasonable to move you to another site without your consent?  I luckily did not (will not) pay the additional fee, and 90% of the campground was vacant the week I was there. That guaranteed reservation fee is just a scam to get more money out of you. The costs of the sites are not cheap to begin with.

    Nice campground

    Well maintained and clean park. Actually has grass, not all gravel. Sites level. Nice pool and laundry room. One night stay and arrived late so did self check in...no password for bathrooms were given, so asked a neighbor for a password. One of the restrooms was shut down for repairs. Too pricy.

    Quiet, peaceful

    Great little park. Lots of shade and green grass, good management, Clean restrooms and well kept grounds. Close to river and lakes for boating and fishing. There is a great area for tent camping or a place to dry camp with your RV just below the main RV park. There are targets set up for bow hunters in the pines below the park.

    Our 35 foot fifth wheel easily navigated the space.

    Large, clean & strict

    Large space with tons of camp sites. I took camp spot 28 and had plenty of space behind me and around me. Tons of rules here, but can tell the camp ground is well maintained and nothing unreasonable. Friendly staff, shoutout to Fernanda 🤙🏽

    Trinity Lake KOA

    Exactly what I needed!

    I started my journey up at Shasta lake, but was driven out by bees. I sought several other locations but decided Trinity was a worthwhile shot. I quickly made an online reservation, paid the holding fee, got there 4 hours early because I needed to just land instead of driving aimlessly, and the staff was so accommodating! They allowed me to stay in the parking lot while my site was being prepared, and they even let me in an hour and half earlier than check in! My spot was easy and accessible, close to bathrooms and showers, near the front store which had everything I needed, including coffee, a short walk to the lake, and a view of stars you don’t see very often. I came for solitude, but found comfort in neighbors who have a mutual love and respect for these great outdoors. I even shared a meal with my neighbor! This is an incredible place and very well maintained grounds. Staff are driving around quite literally into the night hours keeping things clean. Thanks Trinity KAO Holiday! I will be seeing you again!

    Needs work.

    Very large park. Does not look like any money has been invested in a long time. Lots of amenities but poor condition. 3 star because of full hookups. Worst marked loops ever.

    Super Clean & quiet

    We loved our stay. We felt safe and it’s probably one of the most cleanest campground and facilities I’ve ever been to. Clean bathrooms, showers, zero trash around. All around a great visit. Perfect spot if you are traveling with a pet. Highly recommend.

    This campground is excellent!! Great amenities and very fun.

    The only reason i did not give this a 5 star is the outdated information and no notifications posted of events or schedules.  The don't have a schedule for the theater, it's just random and at the employees discretion from my understanding.  At the splash zone the paperwork was outdated, and had rules for a dock that doesn't exist.  The shower code didn't work.  They advertise a shower near the day use area and there isn't.

    This place is great

    We stayed here twice on a trip from central California to Washington. All of the staff was friendly and super helpful. The campsite was very clean and quiet. Beautiful scenery and easy to get to.

    Incredible Place

    We just stayed in October 2023 and had the most peaceful time we could imagine. Very quiet, not too crowded this time of year, and absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to come in the spring / early summer.

    Great camping for tent or RV

    We highly recommend this campground as they have all the amenities…a general store, boat rental, cabin rental, activities for the kiddos, a dog park and pub. Water, toilets and showers are readily available, though a bit in need of a good coat of paint and showers need cleaning/updating .

    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!

    Beautiful campground

    This campground is very spacious with lots of trees for shade which was great since we I went when it was extremely hot. The owner was very nice and got us situated right away. I will definitely be coming back!

    Terrible phone interaction

    I can't rate on even being able to stay but simply based on a phone call. We had filled out their form on their website to try and book and they never responded back. We tried calling and the gentleman was very rude. He said long sites werent available which I get. But when we asked for a shorter site and a spot to park our car hauler he wouldnt even look. He had the adaucity to say well your a few weeks put Reservations change check back. I get if you dont have anything available but he didn't even look. This guy definitely doesnt want business.

    Second time here. My wife and I love the location. We enjoy how close this campground is to area attractions and the staff here are very kind. I think we are going to make this a yearly trip!

    Great quiet place in the woods

    We stayed two separate nights here and loved it. Staff was excellent. It was quiet and clean. We had to move during our first stay because we were two close to the brook with our small kiddos. Only downside was dumping. Both spots we had were uphill from our trailer which required a bit more work to drain. Amazing spot and would 100% stay here again.

    Good for passing through

    I stay here a lot as I pass through. Every single time there has been a methhead staying who is a ranting and raving lunatic dropping f-bombs this and m-fer that for the whole campground to hear. If they stopped taking cash it would fix a lot of problems separating vagrants from true nomads.

    Pretty campsite marred by rude campers

    I wanted to love this place.  Simple, pretty, quiet ( at least at check in) but 1 am, a group of partiers ruined the experience with loud kids, loud adults and loud dogs as if it was 1 pm and not 1 am and shouting at each other as if they were a football field away and not just a few feet.  They camped no where near me and yet I could hear them, clear as day. They were left unchecked and it really ruined the stay.

    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.

    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.

    Mountains, pool and not as hot

    We were glad we made the extra drive to this campground at the base of Mt Shasta - temps were cooler than the valley we had just come thru in Northern California and the pool was refreshing. Kids love staying at KOA’s and it didn’t disappoint. We had a good pull thru full hook up site across from the pool. Nice staff and easy check in. Great stopover for a night.

    If you’re into trains like our kids are - this is a hoot!

    We were in spot 30 a huge pull thru that was tough to angle into and we’re only 30ft. But once in (went and turned around in the tent area) it was level and easy to use. I’d call it paved / hard pack forest.

    Best part was earring in the dining car and exploring the train cars. What a beautiful place. A must stop and stay for any train lover or just for fun. Great location with views of the mountains. A real gem tucked away - no highway noise

    Very nice stay

    Nice campground. Clean bathrooms. Well maintained. Some great swimming holes on the river. Only thing to be ready for are the yellow jacket / bees things. Their are tons when it’s time to eat. The little bee traps do help. Overall the bees seem harmless but tough to explain that to a 5 yr old
