Mt. Shasta City, CA

This is a commercial establishment open from April 1 through October 31, snow levels permitting opening. Close to Interstate 5 at Mt. Shasta City. Great for weekend or longer camping, and a pleasant place to stay while traveling I-5 en route. The campground offers a wide variety of camp spaces from full hook up, to water and electric only, to simple tent spots. Cabins and other accommodations are also available.

Great fishing, boating, swimming, relaxing, and a nice hiking trail around the lake. Nice boat ramp. Convenience store on site as well as small eatery with pizza and similar foods. Total number of camping spots unknown but there are over 200, information can be obtained during the season via phone, and some information can be found at their website link above.

Lake Siskiyou is a local favorite for day use as well as for longer camping, some campsites are near the lake and others are a bit more secluded. The images above show a photo of the lake at the marina with Mt. Shasta in the background and the image on the right shows a sample of one of the electrical hook up campsites in the park. Summers generally have pleasant days and a bit cooler evenings.

How to get there: From Interstate 5 take the Central Mt. Shasta exit at W. Ream Avenue. Travel West. Go to the stop sign at Forest Route #26 (aka as West A. Barr Rd.) and travel South. (turn left) Continue on West A. Barr Rd. (Forest Route #26), stay to the right when you come to a Y in the road. Travel past the Mt. Shasta Resort Golf Course (will be to the South) and continue down this road. Shortly past the Golf Course Lake Siskiyou will be visible as you cross a small bridge. Continue on this road for a couple of miles as you travel around the West side of the Lake. Look for signage at the entrance on your right.  Note:  it is easy to miss the entrance, so keep on the look-out!
