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?
