Shasta Lake RV Resort-Campground

We stayed across the road at the USFS Lakeshore East Campground. We walked over here to check things out. The pool is closed, ostensibly for the season. The camp store was never open, maybe that is seasonal too. It's an older park and in disrepair. While they mow the grass and pick up trash, the general maintenance isn't getting done. Locks on bathrooms removed, signs falling down, lights that don't work. Pool fence is wobbly and the lock is missing so they just chain it up. Entrance sign is falling down. The store floods when it rains so instead of fixing the drainage they just put up sand bags. Feels like the kind of place where the owners have gotten old and tired and just aren't keeping things up. It's mostly long term residents here. There were lots of vacant sites for seasonal guest,

This place was as bad as the reviews say. We rented one of the cabins. The swamp cooler broke down within minutes of unpacking. Thankfully we were able to move to another cabin. The pool was closed. When asked why, they said "it's broken." The person who answers the phone is an elderly woman with severe hearing loss, so it was next to impossible to communicate with her. I'm not criticizing her for that. I just think that if a person cannot hear, someone else should be responsible for having to interact with customers. The office hours are erratic and it seems they close when they want to close without warning. There's a train that roars through once every 2-3 hours, including the overnight hours. The cabins are located the farthest from the train tracks, but I imagine the trains are pretty

This place is not at all as advertised, and extremely overpriced for what is actually there. After looking at the website, we called several times in advance to make a reservation for our roadtrip, and were told we wouldn’t need one because “it’s the off season.” You would think that on one of those calls, they might have mentioned that none of the information on their website is up to date. After a long day of road travel and car trouble, we arrived at “Shasta Lake RV Resort” where we had been assured we wouldn’t need a reservation. Surely enough, the entire campground looked abandoned - not to mention extremely rundown - except for one or two scattered RVs. As we began scoping out the sites, one person emerged from an RV and shown an ultra bright flashlight in our faces from across the c

This place has a charm of its own. I had a great time here with my family. If you’re into small-town vibes, this little nook tucked away in the corner definitely hits the mark. Kids were running around the streets, jumping off bridges into the lake, it felt like something out of a movie. It was super quiet during the week, but once Friday rolled around, things got lively. People were up late, partying and yelling until around 3 AM. Honestly, it didn’t bother us, honestly it added to the character of the place. Now, about the cabin…. some reviews I read said it was trashy, but I wouldn’t go that far. It definitely has its flaws, but it was way better than tent camping. We had everything we needed: we made breakfast in the mornings and even grilled up a steak dinner one night. The AC worke

Terrible experience. No place to swim like they said there was. No maintenance, where the RVs were. My friend almost fell off the picnic table because it wasn’t bolted to the seat. Where the boats were parked, we were gonna swim. The railing was loose and not connected and all rusted out and we didn’t want to swim where there was a boats-we ended up going to whiskey town and had a great time.
