Nice campground. Stayed 2 nights. Clean and quiet. Close to Shasta Caverns, if you haven't seen, worth the time.

This is a very nice campground. I took the grandkids and our spot was great. Lots of grass and privacy, and also easily accessible to bathrooms and showers. The beach is a short walk or drive away. We drove down to the end by the lighthouse and spent some really fun time on the beach. It was windy, but still a blast that day. The lighthouse docents were also really friendly. Great stay overall.

We were pleasantly surprised that there was water and flushing toilets available.... You need to update the website!!!! We just used the site as a break from our drive from Santa Cruz to Eugene Oregon. It's nothing extra special and you can hear the highway, but overall it was very clean and, as I said, there is water!!!

Campground was very neat and quiet. But the host had the bathrooms locked, so NO flush toilets as promised. Smelly pit toilets only.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
