The Bad: Power was out due to someone having stolen the battery back up to the cabin. I was told 2 days before the Father’s Day trip and plans had been made and no adjustment could be made. The first night was rough with the outside heat over 95 during the day. The inside upstairs became a sauna and sleep was difficult. There is a AC unit but it runs off electricity and didn’t work. The other 3 nights were much more manageable when the outside temps dropped and the cabin became pleasant. One last note, lots of rodent droppings throughout the cabin. There are also a few wasps nests on the side of the cabin. The Good: Beds were nice, just bring bedding. The fridge and the stove worked well. This made food storage so nice. The cabin is about 1/3 of a mile away from the water but water was high and made it difficult to enter the water. The point on the first Hirz Campground away from the boat ramp is the best spot to set up a day camp by the water. When water is low in the lake, this would be much easier. Other activities was an hour car trip up to Mount Shasta, checking out the bridge where the McCloud enters Shasta, paddle boards that we brought, swimming, hiking around the campground (watch out for poison oak), bbqing in the stone fire pit, relaxing on the cabin lawn chairs, and playing card games at the table. We had a lovely time after the first night. Lots of activities and the scenery is lovely.
