Love the convenience of the small store across the street and that we can keep our boat moored near the campsite!

There are resorts nearby and i heard pounding live music from 8-10pm. Not offensive, but not welcomed in an “outdoors” vacation. I left the city behind, i thought.

The new camp host is doing an awesome job keeping the campgrounds looking great. We camped, we swam, we boated with our dogs and went for a day trip to Mt Shasta. Lakeshore East is the perfect home base.

The place is great, next to the lake. Kinda difficult go into the water, there is no shore.
Restrooms were clean.

If you plan to stay here, read your emails carefully. This site requires you to CALL ONE WEEK BEFORE your reservation to get a code to the yurt. Without the code you cannot access the Yurt. This detail is not obvious in your emails or booking. I was unable to access my yurt and had to drive to the next town and get a hotel. Huge waste of time and money.
