    Best KOA office for working after a day in the park.
    Chris T.

    This KOA Kampground is one of the best campgrounds we have ever stayed at. Located about 10 minutes from the front entrance of Lassen volcanic National Park, it is the perfect location to use as a base camp for your trip into Lassen. The staff is super friendly, from the moment you register, until the moment you leave. They are helpful and demonstrate a grateful hospitality knowing that you spent time and money at their facility. We stayed in the Kabins which were super clean, and comfortable, if not better than a Motel 6 or Best Western. And each Kanin had a family size picnic table, a non-ember wood burning fire pit, and a barbecue grill. Getting the non-ember flying wood logs lit is an adventure in patience and skill. Maybe you'll have more luck than we did with it. You have to use their wood because it is such a dry area, and you can see within the park how wildfires have raged and ravaged this national park. So a mindfulness must be taken to not allow any ember's or fire to get away. Showers are clean and great. Hot water was nice and hot. Floors were clean. And as a male, always appreciate when I could go into the bathroom and it doesn't look like another man's guts exploded into the toilet. Come on guys flush better! And as somebody who works from the road, the Wi-Fi was a solid 8.5 out of 10. A couple times it glitched and I had to go off camera for a zoom conference call. But if that's the biggest complaint I have, then it is excellent Wi-Fi for the purpose of email, being in communication with clients , if needed, and then unplugging and getting back to enjoy the outdoors. This is a flagship KOA, as we just stayed at a former KOA in the Eureka area, which was a 5 out of 10 and you can see has lost the commitment of the KOA brand. (Although the girl at that former KOA was very helpful- I'm talking about overall visual, cleanliness, and operation.) And last, a big happy birthday shout out to Tanner, who was greeting arriving guests at the front desk on his birthday. Well done! Chris & Trisha www.christrammellcoaching.com PS - The park is a 30 mile one way highway. We thought we would try and come back through the surrounding areas after exiting the southside because the KOA is on the north entrance side. I would recommend you come back through the park. The nonpark return way is pretty great for about the first 2/3 to go straight, drive a little faster, and feel like you're saving time. The last third is like driving through backwoods, it's kind of creepy, you can almost hear the banjos playing in the background waiting for the helpless travelers. KOA + stay in the park = a great time!!

    Unbelievably clean! Excellent WiFi! Huge spaces! Wonderful walking trails in back. Huge k9 area. Our site was ready and clean at 3:00. Place was so peaceful. It's probably a little louder during summer. Spot 30 was AMAZING!! Definitely coming back!!!

    We rented the Log House. This is the only vacation home rental at a KOA. It used to be the Manager's house. It is huge and impressive. The staff is great, especially Doug. The only problem is that it does not have air conditioning. There is a portable air conditioner that we put in the living room so that everyone could cool off, but the bedrooms were really hot during the time that we were there. I would love to stay here but only during cooler weather... not in the upper 90s.

    Perfect night and weather for a fire!

    Perfect spot to camp with family! Staff were friendly, walked around with a smile and kept the grounds in order. Restroom were always clean and the store offers needed camping items and food.

    A great, family friendly KOA. The owners and staff are very welcoming and helpful. The campsites and RV sites are very well maintained. My family has been to this KOA and used the RV sites previously and a tent campsite this past trip. We now want to try out a cabin at this KOA on our next trip. The bathrooms and showers are very clean and well maintained. The KOA store on-site has everything from ice, lunch meat, bread, milk, propane, souvenirs and ice cream. The prices a reasonable. The pool, children's play area, basketball court, beach volleyball and the provided games on the grass are great. The close proximity to the Lassen Volcanic National Park entrance is very nice for day hikes and sightseeing. I'd highly recommend the Shingletown KOA to others.

    Spot 4 is a a patio spot.

    This is a great KOA. Doug has been there through many owners and is fabulous. The new owners... over a year now... are wonderful and so is the entire staff.

    A week prior to our arrival, I've contacted them via email and asked a few questions to prepare for our trip. They have responded the following day. I highly appreciated it. The gentleman who got us checked in was cool. It was quick as can be with an adequate overview of their KOA. Our lot was large and spacious. Everything was clean from the picnic table, fire pit to the pedestal. The lot was all gravel. It's perfect to avoid mudding and keeps the excess dirt dust from getting all over the place. Also, I was able to do a quick rinse on our travel trailer. Wifi was not reliable. It would work for a bit then completely choke. I'd prefer a slower connection than an unreliable one. This KOA is very family oriented. Bike rentals are available with paths to take a ride. Playgrounds and pool. They got it all for the youngsters. Had no problems with any, but one. A kid threw rocks at us intentionally. I highly recommend skipping the holidays and weekends, because by Sunday afternoon it was quiet. Every staff you see will either wave or awknowledge you somehow. Great management here. It reflects on their employees.

    Wonderful time at this Koa. Site was beautiful, staff very friendly. Our dog loved the doggie park! Grandchild loved the park, the big swing and all the trails around the property. Easy drive up to Lassen, Hat Creek and the Subway Caves. Small town nice pizza parlor, gas and two grocery stores. Will be back!

    First time in Redding; first time in over a year to reunite the family since the CoVid pandemic…read more Out of all the RV parks in the area we looked at, we're glad we went with Mountain Gate. First off, our experience with customer service over the phone was always pleasant. They answered our questions, found us the accommodations we needed (we requested an RV spot and cabin) and made the necessary adjustments. Bridget and Patty were awesome! Next, we loved the location: right off the interstate and easy to find. Chevron and Shell, among others are just outside. It's also located next door to the Forest Ranger Station. From here, plenty sights in Shasta and Redding are an easy drive. Third, this RV park is well-maintained and carefully kept in order. It is definitely small compared to many other RV resorts: their sites are tight, they've no individual firepits, grill or camp rings, and there are no other fancy amentities (which is just right for these times of social-distance protocols.) The shared showers and toilets are cleaned daily and garbage bins are rarely overflowing. Some sites have a patch of grass, while others have gravel. Some have sturdy plastic picnic tables; others have wooden ones. All sites have shade from mature trees; which is also great for some nature sounds by the birds as well. There is a nice pet enclosure for the dogs to play and romp around leash-free. There are only 2 cottages and we're so glad we lucked out on one of them for the Memorial Day Weekend. One of my aunts is semi-disabled so it's hard for her to camp out in the heat. The cottages are a perfect complement for a family like ours. All in all, we were so pleased with our stay over the Memorial Day Weekend. The owners and staff are great--very hospitable and respectful. They enforce certain rules and guidances inside the park but it works for a peaceful, enjoyable stay for every camper. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in the area!

The sites are clearly marked which made navigating very easy. The only drawback is that the sites are close to one another so your neighbors are very close and some freeway noise. We visited off season so no issues for us. I would give 5 stars if the sites were not so close to one another.

I love the sand garden for kids to play with in the front. Theres also horseshoe and tether all. The beer garden looks beautiful as well. Sadly we did not get to enjoy some of these perks as our schedule was a little packed. Next time I hope we can try it out. The walking paths of different colors was a fun treat for my kids. They kept wanting to find the art pieces all around. We did the purple, pink, turquoise, yellow and rainbow trail. Next time I'd like to venture to the other side and try out red and finish yellow. The viewpoints/lookout area is magical as well. The places we wanted to visit this trip were all around 30 min to an hour away from the park. Not bad but not too close. That's the price you pay to be in an area surrounded by the woods and beautiful blue skies. Every camper was friendly and waved as you walked. If you have not been here and are undecided just do it! It will be a truly wonderful experience. I think I'd like to go back when my kids are older. I'd prefer to get the chance to read next to the fire here. Not something I could do with my kids now lol ... If you have any questions please feel free to PM me.
