Shasta Lake RV Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Shasta Lake RV Resort sits along the northern arm of Shasta Lake in Lakehead, California, operating from mid-May through the end of December. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer make it a functional base for RVs up to 50 feet, and the drive-in access keeps arrival straightforward. The surrounding area gives campers a lot to work with, including Shasta Caverns, Burney Falls, Lassen Volcanic National Park, and remnants of Gold Rush history within reasonable driving range.

Sites have limited shade, which matters during summer when temperatures in this part of Northern California climb. Campers who are heat-sensitive should factor that in before booking. On the water side, the location works well for lake access. As Daniel V. notes, there are "many access points to the lake" nearby, along with a gas station close by for resupply. A dump station and WiFi round out the on-site amenities, and pets are welcome.

A few nearby alternatives are worth knowing about if this resort fills up or doesn't suit your needs. Lakeshore East sits just northeast, while Lakeshore Inn & RV and Doney Creek Lakeshore Villa RV Park are also within a mile. Campers planning a longer stay in the region can browse campgrounds near Sugarloaf to compare options. Reservations are available, which is worth using during summer weekends when the lake draws crowds.

No shade

My wife and I planned to camp here with other family; however we packed up just after setting up and made reservations elsewhere. The camp sites have limited shade so if you like baking in heat then disregard this review. The pool was closed for the year. They soad it was because of water rations, so I'll give them a pass on that. The "general store" was empty of anything you would want to buy, but there was plenty of pool floaties. We were disappointed.

Beautiful Shasta Lake

So much to do the n the area it’s a good base camp to see the area. You can go boating, see the Caverns, visit Lassen, Burney Falls or study a little CA history from the gold rush. The place is great.
