This is a beautiful campground as far as I'm concerned. Tons of trees and shade, next to a creek. Nothing special about the actual sites, there was no cable which was advertised. Very quiet park. My main reason for the poor review is the camp hosts. My experience is that most camp hosts are retired and a little grumpy. The wife is a little gruff but pleasant once you got her talking. The husband gave minimal help with placing our RV. Check out is 11 and check in is 3. He was at our site at 10:30 telling us we needed to get going because there was "someone at the gate" for our site. He was definitely rude. As soon as we left our site, he raked the dirt and then directed the next camper in. We had family at another site staying more days so it was disappointing to be rushed. He also gave us dirty looks. Our family has been coming to Dunsmuir for generations so I'd like to give this place another chance. Maybe they'll have different camp hosts next time. - Bar is one

Like mazes? Like overgrown trees? Like hookups that are upfront? Then you will like this park. You have to wind your way around big trees to get to your site. We had to disconnect our toad to get out of our pullthru site. No lights thruout park. It's DARK!! Being in the woods, wouldn't go out in the trees after dark.. Very tight turns for a 40 ft mh with a toad. Won't be back to this park. Our site had broken tar so our toad wheels hung over edge. - Bluebird Bob

This is a real campground, not a "resort." Lots of trees, nearby creek where a few back-in sites are located; most sites are irregularly positioned w/ ample space between. Some tenters. Quiet (1/2 mi from freeway). Bathhouse is old, small & rustic but pretty clean. Camp hosts very helpful. - Taco stand

VERY loud campground - right next to I-5. Campground is rustic, treed, and pretty. But the overpowering road noise obliterates ANY sense of peace or tranquility of being in the forest. If the road noise was less, the rating would be higher. Interior road are very narrow. Spaces are very short, tight, and narrow. They say they take trailers 21-27 ft and they aren't kidding ! We struggled to get our 26 ft 5er in a spot. No hook ups, water spigots dispersed. Do have flush toilets and showers. If not for the pounding road noise this would be awfully close to a 10 . We will never return here. We were the only RV. Everyone else was in a tent. The host was in a 17 ft class B. Do not recommend bringing a bigger rig in here than about 25 ft. - theresal58

This is a destination park near Mt Shasta City. We were there with two grandsons, 9 and 11 years old. The beach area is large and has the Splash Zone which has a fee. Our grandsons spent 4 hours playing on the park's VERY large, inflatable water structures. They were exhausted but had a great day.
The park could be labeled "rustic" in appearance, but we had one of many full hookups, including cable tv. Our site was nearly level, high water pressure (80psi). The sites are fairly close together and have tables and fire pits.
We were concerned about late night noise, but we didn't hear anything from 11pm to after 8am. All of the other campers we came across were very friendly.
We were very happy with the park and will be back. - retired fireman

Great location in the large pine trees. Full hookups in most sites and you are in the forest. Some sites are set up a little different with fire pit and table on driver side of unit, so you have to walk around your trailer to get to them. Great marina with boat rentals very reasonably priced. General store on site has most basic essentials. Full restaurant on site. Big portions but priced at regular restaurant prices, which is ok since your about 5 minute drive from town. The best is the beach. Sitting on the sand and looking at the beautiful Mt. Shasta across the lake. Large water structures for kids to climb on in the lake. $8 for 1 hour or $15 for 4 hours to use. Must be 6 years old to use with life jacket, and under 6 can use with adult supervision. Great fishing since the lake receives extra fish throughout the summer from the fish hatchery down the road. Boating is limited to 10mph so no ski boats. There are also cabin and single wide trailers for rent. Daily outdoor movie nights. Laundry facilities. All in all highly recommend. We love it here. - Greygoose1

Very good family park. Huge amount of space. Fire rings every camp with a ton of smoke if that bothers you. Gorgeous views, lots of hiking, lake with water toys to rent. Not real level but was able to adjust. Dirt and dust is the order of the day. - Kirt

Mostly mobile homes but spaces are long enough for 35ft and toad. Couldn't put out one slide because of tree. Not the easiest to maneuver into Park. The picnic table was on quite a slant. But for the price, it was clean with full hookups. 51 channels of cable. Verizon worked great but didn't try wifi. - lb0456

Perfect park for an overnight or an extended stay. Staff is present and visible, mix of overnighters and permanent residents. It was very quiet, friendly staff and residents and the hookups were brand new at my site. When I left the manager called my mobile phone and informed me that my antenna was up! Great service! - Kingjosh

Nice little park close to I5. We stayed for 5 days in site A. Nice view across road of mountains. Quite pastoral. Not much noise from I5 down at the lower level of the park. Manager very nice and helpful. We had Full hookups with 50 amp and cable. Also wifi which got a little spotty at prime times. Would stay here again when passing through Mount Shasta. - Rose Kirkwood

Agree with previous reviewers. The setup is quite unusual. We chose this park because it had the best rating in the area. Not saying much for the rest of the area. Our first mistake was asking for a pull-through, since we were only going to be here 2 nights. We were assigned a space at the far end of the park with many trees, thus our satellite would not work. Our site was somewhat unlevel and gave up, since we were only here for 2 nights.

WIFI was extremely slow and kept getting kicked off. Finally gave up on it. When making the reservation, asked about the WIFI and was told: "Depends on how full the park is." If we had been told our space was as far as possible from the antenna, would have asked for a closer space even if it was a back in. Did notice, as mentioned by others, some spaces were extremely close and trees could cause a problem.

Not finding anything in the "instructions" regarding washing vehicles, spouse was washing front of rig. Maintenance came by and said: "OK to wash, just don't use soap." Nothing mentioned anywhere. Guess they do need to put everything in writing.

Will not visit this park again. - vwbluestar

This is a very strange campground. It was in a beautiful location but the sites were placed very oddly and close together. All the sites were grassy. Our particular site was a back in with the hook-ups on the wrong side. The sewer was located just outside our front door of our 5th wheel so we didn't hook it up until just before leaving to dump. The campground is handy to Shasta City and has views of Mt. Shasta. The staff was less than helpful. Bathrooms were OK. We were here 4 nights. - CO 5th wheeler

This is a nice park. Almost all sites are lawns that are well taken care of. We arrived July 3rd, so the campground was very full. Restroom maintenance was stretched to the max, unfortunately the maintenance did not get a lot better after 3/4 of the sites were empty. We had an issue when we pitched a tent for our 17 year old grandson, the next morning the campground host came by and told us to take down the tent. We asked why and she told us it was against the park rules. We had researched this campground through this site, their web page and Good Sam, at no point did we get the impression tents were not allowed on our site. When we asked the host about this, she said "Well, I guess we have to write EVERYTHING down". This did disrupt out trip. The sites are very tight. Water pressure in the men's shower was very low all four days. It is quiet at night and most of the day. The tent issue and narrow sites were the main drawbacks. This is a pretty campground. We may be back. - retired fireman

We stayed 3 nights, visiting Mt Shasta and doing some whitewater rafting on the Klamath River. We had a great time! The kids played in the pool. WIFI worked well at our site. They had a small basketball court area, badminton/volleyball area and a playground that often had kids in it. We would definitely stay here again. - jmholton

Disappointed in this KOA. Campground has a lot of potential but really needs some money spent on the roads and sites....could be an excellent campground and great location. Had to choose between 50 amp or cable television with our full hookups, why not both options. Felt sorry for the tent campers, no hot water in bathrooms for the four days we were there. Only cold water in laundry too. Glad we had our own self contained unit or our stay would have been shortened. Staff were friendly but that was the only saving grace. - Dedra C

With trains blowing their horns all night long we'll never stay here again. Dirt pads were messy. Hard to maneuver around trees and cement picnic tables. - CIAforHim

We were here when it wasn't busy so had plenty of room. Site not very level. Manager had gone home but someone else checked us in and she was very pleasant and helpful. We parked near the office and Wi-Fi worked well for us. Quiet enough and have only heard 1 train, so far. You can see Mt Shasta through the trees. Would probably stay here again. - Thedogsma

This is nothing but a gravel lot with utilities. Sites are long but VERY close together. Don’t try to make reservations because you will NEVER get a call back. That’s just rude. How can you run a business like that? When we got there the office was closed - naturally so we picked a spot. The map of the facilities is drawn on a white board and not very specific. The information provided in an outside box had a Mt. Shasta map that was unreadable, NO information on the park (like a map) and the TV listing was wrong. What a terrible way to run an business. We would not recommend this park and will not return. - Ruffella

My high ranking is because this is a very nice spot to be and everything works. Power, water and sewer, all good. Spot big enough for our 42' plus tow. Park is located in a pine forest. People operating the park are friendly and helpful. Rate is reasonable. This is not a big fancy deluxe park, but a nicely situated comfortable one. Quiet too. - RFCN2

The new owner is very helpful and the park has the best views of Mt Shasta. You do have some traffic noise from the Pilot truck stop that is near, but was not a problem. The rate reflects Passport for the first night and Good Sam on the next. - lwabend

An overnight stop. Several long term residents. Bare bones but reasonable park for an overnight stop. Disappointed at no 50A power. Our rig just fit the space for length but plenty of room. - Ken Camp

This park has easy access right off I-5, located behind a truck stop with gas and several fast food restaurants, within walking distance. There is some noise, but not bothersome. There are asphalt interior roads and sites. Our pull thru site was just long enough not to have to unhook our 30ft travel trailer. There are also some back in sites, and very long pull thrus which have hookups for 2 rigs. Our site was fairly level. The hookups worked well, good wifi and Cable TV. Lots of tall trees for shade.The office help was friendly. I made a reservation online a day ahead and it charged my card at that time. - trussman

A blm campground - i.e. beautiful surroundings, sparse amenities, and free during the summer months. Camped in a 40' class A with toad down by the lake. There are sites back in the trees, but not large enough for our rig. Plenty of space near the lake and these have a best view. There is a fresh water spigot and pit toilet located back in the trees section. Great outdoors experience - quiet and very scenic. Night skies and star gazing were awesome. Lake water level was down when we were there (June 2015), but it wasn't an ugly sight. Local law officer patrolled about every other day just to check on things. We were the only steady visitor during our 6 day visit - very few seemed to camp here at this time of year. Mid-days were somewhat hot, so had to run the generator and A/C. Just be prepared for rustic camping when you come here. Bring your camera and binoculars and be prepared for some great afternoon naps under a shade tree. Be careful of the trees (evergreens) they do drop sap - I had to clean our dog and awnings before leaving. There is a Pilot south of Weed for fuel and a dump station ($8). - MarksOnTheRoad

Very friendly host. Small park but full of value. - WGustaf

Thouroughly enjoyed our stay here for 6 nights. Facilities very clean and we'll managed. Owners very accommodating and friendly. Helped us back our 32' travel trailer into site. We would definitely stay here again! - donw78025

Older RV Park close to Weed. Some permanent occupants, never a problem. Nice owners, let you pick the site that works for you if possible. With a 43 foot motorhome there aren't a lot of choices in Weed. - kleamon
