What Guests Are Saying
Cooper Gulch Campground offers a beautiful location with stunning views and abundant wildlife, making it a great spot for kayaking and enjoying nature. Many visitors appreciated the accommodating camp host and the reservation system for ensuring site availability. However, some experienced issues such as lack of water, unregulated day-use access, and occasional absenteeism of the camp host, which detracted from their overall experience.

Great little campground. Right on the lake, very small so it’s just a few steps to get to the shore, bathrooms, or water tap. Beautiful!

The lack of potable water at the campsite was a very big disappointment. Also due to the trouble the Trinity Lake dam turbines were having, the flow and drainage of water into Lewiston Lake were stopped. As a result, a parasitic bloom in the water, referred to as "swimmers itch" was a big enough deterrent to keep us out of the water for swim and play.
I also was told by the Shasta Parks worker that Recreation.gov would be issuing me a partial refund for the lack of potable water at Cooper Gulch campsite, since I had made and paid for the reservations long before I was notified that there is no water available at the campsite. How and when will I be refunded for this?
