Mount Shasta City KOA

We had a one night reservation on a weekend when passing through. The office staff was very nice and friendly. We immediately had electricity problems at our site. They were attentive to try and fix it, but it was clear their stuff was dated. It was hot and everyone was likely using AC. After a couple requests we were moved to another site and it was fine. Overall though, the campground was really dusty and the sites were okay. It worked, but not a destination by any means.

Quaint KOA located conveniently off the freeway, but very quiet. Served well for an overnight stay, and I love the dog run that allowed me to exercise my German Shepherd pup after a long day on the road. Would definitely stay there again and enjoyed the cool evening and Sounds of Nature to put me to sleep. One train passed by but otherwise very peaceful.

We love KOAs in general and this is a great one. We are in a non-fancy pull through site and it is spacious with a nice cement picnic table. I appreciate that at checkin they gave me a new site with more shade and we have really been enjoying it. The fenced in dog-run is a fine size but with shade and grass and a tree, much better than the only-gravel ones you see many places. The tent area is spectacular for summer camping with huge, gorgeous coniferous trees, large sites, and much needed shade for the summer. I would recommend 73, 74, or 97 but they are all nice. I would love to come back and tent camp and climb the big one some day! Both RV and tent sites are raked every day and picked up. They water the road to keep the dust down. We have nothing but good things to say and we have been in dozens of campgrounds the past 2 months. Great restaurants in town too including Lolas, Yaks, Bistro 107. The Ace in town has everything.

Sorry, this KOA is worn out. I’m not wild about the KOAs that are paved over, but would it kill them to bring in some gravel? But what really galled is was, when asking for a shadier spot at 98 degrees, the answer was “No, it messes up the computer “ while I understand if the place was full, but a half dozen shady spots were open all night. My advice? Take a remedial computer class…

Campground was really dusty, no surprise considering drought conditions. Sites are really tight together. The entrance is a very tight squeeze for larger rigs. The person working the office was friendly and helpful. Check-in was quick and efficient. The close location to town make this a great spot for visiting the town of Mt. Shasta. Laundry is on the high side at $4.50 per load to wash. Great water pressure at our site. Good cellular data connection on my ATT hotspot. Lots of family groups and kids so if you're looking for total quiet, this isn't the place.

We booked online. There were multiple site levels (full hookups, partial hookups, etc). It seemed others who booked online didn't see that the amenities differed at the different price points (which makes sense) and weren't prepared for lack of sewer hookup. Stayed here in winter, minimal snow on ground, temp below freezing at night. Sewer worked well. Water good. Power good. Didn't try the cable.

Access is single lane (but encompasses both directions of travel) with big trees on both sides. Only the least experienced driver with the largest rig would have any difficulty though.

Only minor gripe was that we made 2 calls during mid-day Saturday to ask questions or book, the voice mail message sounded pretty unprofessional, and I didn't get a call back from either message. The lady at the office on Sunday morning was very kind and let us stay just a bit past the check out time so we could get an extra run on the local slopes before returning to check out.

We don’t usually like KOA‘s, but this one got positive reviews and we needed to pull over last night. There weren’t that many people there so we had a choice of sites. They are closely spaced, but there are a lot of really tall mature trees which made it feel park like. They have a little fenced area for dogs and the area walking was nice. Everything worked well, good cell phone signal, we did not use the Wi-Fi. Trains but otherwise quiet and peaceful. Super easy on and off, all sites pull through. Site level.
