We had the best time. Our only issue was that the water was bad. They had signs up that testing failed but still giving it a 5 stars as I’m sure it’s temporarily. Campsite 7 is by far the best out of all of them. Very secluded and private and HUGE! The water was amazing and it was so peaceful. Yes you can hear the road but not from the water and at night it calms down. The bit of road noise actually made me feel safe from the bears. Lol

No water and only portaloos. Noise from the road. Pretty sites though and great for visiting the nearby caves. Beautiful lake.

Kinda plain campground. Next to a highway so can hear trucks. Might be good if you're going to use Shasta Lake

We stayed on S # 7, great site, loved the space and the privacy, some noise at night from really close freeway, no big deal. Water level in lake really low...we knew that, but we were expecting flush toilets and drinking water as ADVERTISED, there were porta potties though. We weren’t warned about the water or the bathrooms/showers wouldn’t be open, WOULD someone please update the campsite info with the most relevant and latest info??? That is if you care about people keeping on coming here.

I was unable to go because of the evacuations and fires. I have requested a reimbursement for my reservation and have yet to receive a response.

We were here during a heat wave so perhaps not an objective view of this site. Hosts were nice. But so hot and NO access to water!! Not advised to book this site in summer. We will never return here. End of July heat wave and we were shocked that at 7pm at night the temp was 104 degrees! We pulled in to check out the site anyway. Of course we knew no electricity at the site, though we have an AC in the camper we didn't anticipate needing it nor did we need it anywhere else in No Cal or Oregon. We were trying to decide if we should stay so we asked about water access. We were told it was 10 minutes by car down a very bumpy rough road and it was mostly muddy and not much water down there. :( We booked this site hoping there was water access so be forewarned that when the lake is low there is really NO water access here and it's really, really hot here in summer.
