I tried to find a listing for the actual Castle Lake but instead just found the campground. To be…read moreclear, the campground is a short distance prior to the actual lake which has its own parking lot and trailheads. Once parked at the lake, you can embark on the moderate trail to Heart Lake. Approaching the lake, the trail is to the left of it and climbs along the lake shore with intermittent views. As you take a gradual but steady climb up, you will start to see views open up and eventually see Mt Shasta itself. Most hikers stop at Heart Lake which is a scenic spot with granite on one side and on the outlet side of the lake for Shasta views. If you're wanting a little bit of a longer hike, when facing the lake, make a right and log hop across its outlet and follow a faint but obvious trail to a rocky outcropping. There you will reach an amazing vista of Castle Lake and Mt Shasta. It's a great spot to have your lunch and take some amazing photos. Take care on the way down as there are some steep drop offs and slippery rocks. Most of the trail is exposed, so I'd go earlier in the day in the warm months. Depending on how far you go, it's 3-4 miles out and back. Wonderful way to have amazing mountain scenery in a short hike. Free parking at the lake and pit toilets (not the best, not the worst I've seen.)

The second visit was to hike the trail along the lake. For the beach time, it was a week day and it too crowded. I was able to snag a bench near the resort's public beach and enjoy the iconic views of Mt Shasta. As for the lakeside trail, it goes all the way around and is approximately 7 miles. I was short on time, so did a 3 mile out and back. Along the way, there are forested paths, Mt Shasta views and meadows to enjoy. The trail wasn't well signed and I lost it at some points. Since I was only doing a small section of it, I just followed the lakeshore best I could on my out and back. Early morning, it was a peaceful place. I'd love to come back and see about kayaking the lake or doing the entire trail. Lovely spot and a nice way to unwind near Shasta

She runs this property like Nazi, which is fine If you don't care about the residence. Apparently the legal owners don't care, or just want to remain in hiding, but anyway its sliced, the current management does not care about its residence who live in the park. Most of them are fearful about speaking out, because universally they fear retaliation, which is a valid concern given her pissy attitude, especially for those who own Mobiles in the park, but I can share this: The manager, Renee, doesn't give a flying fuck about the residence. She runs it like a true Nazi dictator. I am an RVer who is only here on a temp basis, as I refuse to remain under her 'regime'. I am a retired property manager, and I can say I would have NEVER allowed, her hate, or her Nazi tactics at any property EVER! Abrams RV park is a nice place, its beautiful area, but the fact is, it could be run Sooooooooo much better, however, as it stands now, the bathrooms are an embarrassment, the laundry included. I'll attach photos as evidence of what I am saying. Now we are still here in the park, and I fully expect her to retaliate against us in any way she can, but honestly, i'd prefer she owns up to her hate, and recognizes it for what it is, and makes changes, not just for those who live her, but for herself as well. She clearly feels emboldened to continue her tactics, without regard for those how live in the park. Of course I will continue my title search to find who owns the park and will certainly share all this with them. Bottom line is simple: The Abrams RV park could be soooooo much better, and done so with very little costs to the owners, it would just take a better effort put forth by the managers.

The location has potential, but our stay was highly disappointing…read more First and foremost, the checkout policy requires guests to wash all dishes prior to checking out. This is a major sanitation concern. IF the property thoroughly cleans and sanitizes the kitchenware between stays, this chore is an unnecessary burden on paying guests. If they do not reclean them, then the health and safety of incoming guests relies entirely on the honor system and the cleaning habits of previous occupants. It is incredibly unsettling to think the dishes we used may not have been professionally washed or sanitized. The cabin itself clearly got a "landlord special" French doors were stuck and wouldnt open. Had to call maintenance to get them fixed. The refrigerator and cabinet drawers overlap so tightly that opening the fridge makes the drawers to open, and vice versa. The fridge door is already dented, clearly from this problem. The blinds are old, broken, and don't close all the way. So we had to wake up with the sun every morning, spiderwebs in the ceiling corners throughout the cabin. For the price charged to stay here, guests should at least be guaranteed professional cleanliness. Unfortunately, this property missed the mark on all counts.

The wedding was hosted across the street at the golf course and my suggestion to the person who organizes both of these venues. I think you should offer golf cart transportation between the resort and the golf course. That would prevent a lot of people from taking the chance and driving that short distance while intoxicated. I noticed this first hand on several of our party goers. We had a beautiful cabin that was not on the lake, but close enough to appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. I see a lot of reviews had a problem with cleanliness and honestly, we did walk in to a musty smelling cabin and dead, flying things all in the bathroom, but after doing a black light inspection of the mattress, I was reasonably assured that bedbugs would not be an issue. To me that's a big one. I highly recommend this location if you're planning a wedding at the golf course.

Poor security multiple fights, violent public intoxication, and overly roudy campsites, that necessitated a heavy sheriff's presence. This year has been the worst experience ever. They don't have enough staff for safety, maintenance, cleaning, the store, or the registration/reservation desk. I spoke with Julie, the manager. She said they have been having a lot of trouble keeping people employed during this crazy time. Paired with that, the whole park is at MAXIMUM CAPACITY. I completely understand keeping staff right now is beyond their control but why would they continue to book out the ENTIRE park!! They are increasing their profit margins at my expense and awful experience. I'm the one paying the same price I always do for a dirty, unsafe for families, subpar tent and cabin maintenance. We made the best of it by exploring McCloud, and parts of the lake outside of the park. Basically stayed away except to sleep. Please see attached pics.  The toilet was like this going on 3 days. Garbage going on 2 days. Stopped overflowing because there was no more soap or paper towels. Bloody feminine products hanging out of the receptacle. Fire pit upon arrival.

This is one of those places where you really don't wanna leave a great review, because if everyone knew how great it was, it would be impossible to get a reservation. Well, spoiler alert: everyone figured it out, and it's almost impossible to get a reservation. We knew that the camp resort transitioned ownership before we arrived this year. We were excited to see the improvements the new owners would make, but we were disappointed when we arrived. The prices went up, but the maintenance decreased. The road in the trailer loop is really beat up, the security presence decreased, and the cleaning/maintenance overall was lacking compared to the other years we've visited. We hope the new owners are still gaining their footing. Don't get me wrong, things are still nice. Just noticeably different, which is a bummer because the price has increased, and it's already a pricey spot. When we arrived this year, we did our usual thing and pulled to the right to check in. A woman, who we believed to be the owner, asked us to move forward, which we did. Then she came back and asked us to move even further. She was quite grumpy and ruffled. It was not a great welcome after an almost 6-hour drive. Then I was asked for my credit card to make the final payment. The woman would not tell me how much I owed or how much she was going to run my card for. I was under the impression I was paid in full. She seemed to be confused with her new system, which is understandable, but I didn't feel OK with her running my card without telling me how much she was going to charge. Everyone in our party experienced the same ruffled welcome. We hope that as the new owners get their footing, they will get some of these things sorted out and/or add signage so the folks who have been coming for years and years understand that the expectations are now different. We're super excited to visit next year and can't wait to see some of these expected wrinkles smooth out.

There is a general store, and a restaurant that are walking distance from all of the campsites. Down at the beach there is a taco bar, a beer garden, and in-lake obstacle course for the kids. They offer so much to do right onsite! That said there are certainly recommendations to make Lake Siskiyou a home run. 1. The bathrooms are nasty. Listen, it's camping - I'm not expecting the four seasons, but a little bit of money would go a long way. Repaint the entire facility. A simple coat of paint would make a huge difference. You also need to hire someone whose only job is rotating through every bathroom on the property all day long cleaning and restocking them. 2. The beach taco truck and beer garden hours - you are missing out on some serious revenue by not taking orders until 1pm during summer weekends. Kids wake up early camping. By 11, or the very minimum 12, you guys should already be grilling. Beer was even later. We left the beach at 3 on Saturday and they were just starting to setup. On Friday it was closed when we left at 4. I was just watching the $$$ go out the window. We loved our trip and look forward to going back!

Many rocks here so take water shoes or something with a thick bottom! Although it was pretty funny I'm still hurting haha. We saw boats on the lake and some people off to the side having a picnic and taking a dip in the lovely, warm water. All in all this was an incredible place to stop by and visit!
