"This was a convenient spot since it's close enough to the Oregon border, located close to Yreka and just far enough off the 1-5 to make you feel like you're off the beaten path."
"We visited here while driving south on the I-5. It was far enough off the highway to be peaceful and in beautiful Klamath National Forest."
"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."
$66 - $149 / night
"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."
"They have four tent camping sites with electric hookup and fancy seating among many other types of sites"
$25 - $40 / night
"I’m camping here in my car basically in a gravel parking lot next to a meadow for tent campers. There’s very little privacy however! The amenities and addition opportunities make up for it."
"This is a beautiful campground that is great for renting and grabbing a great spot near Ashland as your driving through. Who doesn’t want to stop at a hot spring?"
"Ice Cream and beautiful lake for swimming and kayaking. We took the family here for Fathers Day and enjoyed the entire weekend. We kayaked, rode bikes and got ice cream on out way out."
"The campground is located on Howard Prairie Lake which is beautiful and provides a great backdrop. The campground is pretty spread out which allows for a lot of variety in campsite experiences. "
$10 / night
"There are fire pits, hand-pump water spouts, small creek from water spring runoff, bathrooms, and its only $10 to stay. The surrounding area is beautiful, and the town is nearby."
"The running water comes down the mountain in the form of a creek, and there is a water pump at the well for those who would rather not test their constitution with the stream. "
$50 / night
"Walking distance to the water. Lots of obsidian with just a short walk. Very beautiful and secluded. Not many people and camp spots are located very far apart. Highly recommend. Nice star viewing."
"We just finished a backpacking trip in marble valley and sky high lakes area, both accessible about 5+ miles from the Lovers Camp Trailhead. It was absolutely beautiful!"
"Our site had a good amount of space, and although there were a lot of campers around us, we didn't feel overly cramped and had a decent amount of space."
"Bathrooms are older but clean. Lake area was not crowded"
"There is a bit of road noise that you can hear in the morning. We stayed in a grassy spot with no neighbours, so it was quite lovely. Bathrooms exceptionally clean and hosts friendly and helpful."
"No unruly pets, children, or anything. Two things weird, 2 people per site, otherwise they charge extra fees, & they only return calls (no one seems to manage phones) once a day."
ScoutPlan to keep your pets at home if you want to stay in the domes or bell tent. As another reviewer noted, the grounds have seen better days. I guess that's how they keep camping prices so low. 3 stars because of the hot springs---better as a day trip and not a place to stay
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.
GuideIce Cream and beautiful lake for swimming and kayaking. We took the family here for Fathers Day and enjoyed the entire weekend. We kayaked, rode bikes and got ice cream on out way out. Huge campsite, with access to water.
Was a bit cold, so be sure to pack a nice jacket, and maybe a thin pair of gloves. Wind comes off the lake and the gloves helped when fishing. Lots of great spots to fish.
If you stay awhile there is also a restaurant by the boat dock. The dining area looked nice and the food smelled amazing. I hope to try it the next time we make a visit.
And thanks to the camphost who let us check out a half hour late because we read the paperwork wrong and thought we could check out at 2! Whoops, it’s really noon.
TravelerI’m camping here in my car basically in a gravel parking lot next to a meadow for tent campers. There’s very little privacy however! The amenities and addition opportunities make up for it. There are free showers, a bathroom with running water, potable water, and for $10 extra you get 1.5 hours soaking in a mineral pool, one hot one cold, and there’s also a sauna. In addition the showers inside the spa are much nicer!! I feel completely rejuvenated, and definitely recommend for anyone looking to have a relaxing evening :)
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.
ScoutLarge campsites with provided fire rings and picnic tables. Water spigot near the sites but no electrical hookups available, so this is dry camping. The flush toilet bathrooms in the campground are clean, but old, which makes them appear, at first glance, to be worse than they are. The bathrooms in the day use area on the outer edge of the campground are clean. I’m sure fish Lake is nice for swimming although when we went there water was 20% lower than normal and upon wading in you get stuck in the mud bottom before you can make it out to deeper water. The fishing was good! Our friends went fishing and had a great time. Firewood is available for sale from the camp host for 9 dollars a bundle. We brought firewood we purchased at the grocery store. The campsites are large and widely spaced enough that you can’t overhear people’s conversions around you but you can see them, so privacy is a little less here. The campsites are standard soft dirt floor. Its so fine that it gets everywhere though; especially if you have dogs with you. we had to sweep out the camper a few times. Fish Lake resort is within 5 minutes walking distance and has a little restaurant that serves breakfast during the morning and burgers, fries and local (some bottled, some on tap) microbrews for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is a bit spendy though. Attached to it is a small grocery store with food and camp supplies, which came in handy as we forgot D batteries; so $6 and 3 D cell batteries later and our indoor lantern worked great. The camp hosts are great! Very little to no bugs which surprised me being near a lake! All around a great 2 nights. On the last morning before we packed up the toilets had to closed because they couldn’t flush and the sink didn’t have running water. The water spigots also stopped working and we were told that the well the campground gets its water from just went dry. The nearby campground of doe point also had their well run dry. Bring extra water just in case. I would recommend this camp ground to people.
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.
GuideRV spots are decent. Partial & full hookups. Some spots, the fire pit is right next to the neighboring trailer. There is a dump station. Boat launch. Restaurant. Good swimming beach for kids. Friendly staff. Good spot, I'd go here again.
