There is shade spots but very few. This is part of the National Forest Recreation area. Has a nice creek. Also has a campground host. It was ok for an over nite stop but we won't be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camping at Hat Creek Resort is just like taking a step into the past where people actually care and talk to you - all of the staff even though very busy and a little understaffed were friendly and very helpful throughout - we enjoyed a nice weekend with lots of fishing, hiking on the PCT and other various trails - campground is located with many adventures close by Mt. Lassen, Cinder cone trail, spatter cone trail, Burney Falls... The Hat Creek stream that runs through the property supplies many fish for every family members we seen people from ages 4 to 70 catching their first fish from the stream - campground is old, but very tidy... We will be back and will bring more of our family with us next time... We camped here in a Motorhome.
