We love to find lesser-known places of dramatic natural beauty, and McCloud fits the bill. This RV park sits near the base of spectacular Mount Shasta, adjacent to Shasta-Trinity National Forest, and there's world-class Trout & Steelhead fishing nearby. The park is immaculate, with rolling green lawns, towering trees, 2 trout ponds and a babbling brook running right through. The park-like setting is very clean and quiet, with large sites and choice of partial or full hook-ups (30 and 50-amp) or grassy tent campsites along the forest. They also have really nice luxury camping cabins for the times when you don't have the RV with you. The park staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the Wi-Fi worked great. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wi-Fi was weak, at times; i just switched to my air card -- it was much faster, so I stuck with it. We had 30 amp service on a lightly-loaded circuit, so we could run BOTH A/C units; our travel friends two sites away, on a different circuit, avoided all other electrical draws and still could only run one A/C. They were a bit more friendly, this year; two years ago, they were quite unfriendly (not rude, just busk); they raised our rate from 21 to 31, tho they originally agreed to freeze the 2007 rate (for our 2008 reservation); due to my health incident in Ohio, we rolled over the reservation to 2009; price rose 50%, so decided to stay only 5 nights, instead of 7 that had been pre-paid in 2007... $155.xx for 5 nites, vs. $121.xx for six nites (pay for 6, 7th nite is free). They still owe me $10 refund for the unused days on original reservation. Sites near the hwy get to hear noisy logging trucks all day, some at night; away from the hwy it's less noisy. Like many parks, they charge a fee for visitors (unless you persuade they're not visiting, rather drop-off/pick-up stuff or camper, only -- not using the facility)... wanted to charge our non-camping friends to use a picnic table for lunch (they just left the park, instead). Despite the fee hike, we will probably stay here next time -- our purpose was to attend week-long dance event at Dance Country, it's so close -- walking distance to the dance hall! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We enjoyed this park but were only there 1 night. If you want shade you have to pick a back in with 30 amp and no cable or sewer but that was fine since we had a satellite. The staff was friendly. Park is very well maintained. Some sites are near the highway and you would not be able to sleep with your window open. Wi-Fi worked great. Would like to come back and use it to explore Mt. Shasta. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for 9 days in the middle of the summer. It is a great place during the week but for a holiday or busy weekend, it can be pretty cozy as some of the sites are pretty close together. The staff are great - friendly and helpful. The place is clean and nicely landscaped with lots of grass and big trees. The WiFi was okay, the laundry room was clean and the machines worked. There is a great restaurant very close by. We did some exploring in the area and will come back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We enjoyed this campground very much. We used it as a base to explore the Shasta area. Very friendly staff and the grounds were well maintained. The only negative was that the laundry room dryers were not working while we were there. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had to pull out early due to an impending snow storm, else we would have stayed a week. We liked the atmosphere (even in November), and would definitely stay here again. We had relatives in the area and also had reservations for the Shasta Sunset Dinner Train. Great small town atmosphere and close to lots to do in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice "grassy" park. The cable TV selection and signal quality is very good. Wi-Fi service is also very good. The only down side is the park is adjacent to the highway so it was a little noisy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park! Nice extremely friendly and accommodating park host. Wonderfully clean and lovely grass at most sites. We went with another couple on a short notice and were able to get side by side in a full campground. Sites are a bit cramped but premium sites are more liveable mostly if wanting to be outside. They accept Good Sam Club members and allowed my four small Shih Tzus to come without any extra charge. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were part of a group, we were quoted one price, and charged several different prices in each rig. We were supposed to be all in the same area, but were split up. The spaces were to small for some of the rigs, some could not get the awnings out. Their was an infestation of yellow jackets, ing the ground and the electric boxes. The voltage was insufficient at the sites with electricity, and during the peak of the day was lucky if you got 108 volts, some sites actually was blowing circuit breakers. The park itself is very nice to look at. Trees do need pruning at most sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a park in an attractive setting. Small creeks and ponds run through the park with horse pasture and Mt.Shasta near by. Most sites were wide but not all. Good shade. Some leveling needed on my grass site(111) and adjacent sites but the concrete padded sites looked fine. No real general store but town is very close. No WiFi is a notable neg. Facilities were spotless. Hookups were in good working order. This would be a great park if traveling with a group. I'll go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I really like the area this park is in, and the setting is wonderful. This is an old park and most of the spaces are too close together for todays equipment. There are spaces that are great, but used by monthly renters. Some of the best sites are located in the grassy center of the park but are water & electric (30amp) only. While I was there I was lucky to get a full hookup 50Amp site with plenty of room, but that is the exception. I still recommend this park as a nice place to stay while visiting the surrounding area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Made reservations 6 months in advance and specifically asked for a shade site and when arriving at site only to discover site was in full sun! Was told no other sites available, but other shady sites remained vacant during our stay. Low voltage at site. Only one person in office so check-in was very slow as many people waiting, she was nice though. Modem hookup is through pay phone outside. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful little park near Mt. Shasta. We used it as a base camp to explore Northern California. Very friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
