However, you will hear traffic all day and all night long. So, to be honest, it feels more like a really lush and natural rest area. Bailey Cove Campground is situated within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest near Shasta Lake, operated by the Shasta Recreation Company under a special use permit from the U.S. Forest Service. Coordinates: 40.8° N, 122.319° W. Elevation: About 1,082 feet. Each campground has a parking space that fits trailers up to 45 feet ($12 for extra car), picnic table, bear locker, fire pit (w removable grate), potable water, with a little marker that identifies your reservation. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean and nice smelling. The ranger on-site (Bryan) is friendly. Bailey Cove Trail is a 3-mile loop trail that hugs the shoreline, open to hikers and mountain bikers. An adjacent public boat ramp (closed during low lake levels) provides easy access to Shasta Lake, for boating and fishing. Lake Shasta Caverns (separate review) is a 10 minute drive away. There are 7 campsites. I would avoid #1. Even though it has the best access to a small, flat beachy area, it is much too close to the large parking lot and roads to the boat ramp, so it's heavy traffic. #2 and #3 are fine, and perfect for groups because they seem to create one double site. Our spot #2 is just steps from the bear-proof trash can, which is convenient for housekeeping but potentially inconvenient for noise. #3 is closest to a sketchy trails past poison oak to get to a private lakefront beach area. #4 and #5 are probably the best sites if you like seclusion. They dip down below ground level, which might help with noise. #5 has the advantage of having more shade and being closer (but not closest) to the bathroom. #7 is the furthest back, offering less road noise, though I suspect they are subject to the most flashlight light from the campers below walking (maximum 210 steps from Site #2) to the bathroom. I would avoid #6, which is so close to the bathroom it should be renamed #2.

But the view is still beautiful and it's possible to walk along if you're careful. Recommend for anyone, families with children included!

The game room and other outdoor games were highly entertaining for kids and adults. The outdoor barbecue and community dining area are big and very functional for small or larger groups. The trash is emptied frequently and they supply large bags of ice on demand. I honestly can't wait to return to this little slice of heaven. The sad thing is that the lake is super low for people hoping to boat.

We stayed at site 11, and we loved it! Sites are spacious and clean. We had a wonderful time. The camp host, Dale was incredible. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a comfortable one. They even have little shows for the kids at the amphitheater! We saw some local animals and learned about them. Lots of posters on here complained about the train that goes though, and honestly it's not that bad at all. It would be if you stayed on that side of the campground, but it only went through once or twice a day. Not a big deal at all. Pros: Huge spacious sites Plenty of restrooms (1 with flushing toilets all others are non flushing) Clean facility Family friendly Great camp host Pet friendly! Cons- Lots of poison oak around the sites. You need to be VERY careful where you and your doggies go. Half of the sites back up to the lake (not accessible to the water. Huge cliff) and across there's a shoreline where lots of trailers park and love to Party till the wee hours of the night. And boy does that sound travel. We heard their music till about 4 am. Although that wasn't our campsites fault. They did call the sheriff for us. I would absolutely stay here agin!

I've been coming to Antlers Resort & Marina since I was a kid (I'm 40 now). It had been probably 25…read moreyears since I had last been there. My family always got the same site (A-51) so for nostalgia I had to book that site as well. I could have sworn when I was a kid there were wooden bear boxes, but they no longer exist (odd because I remember seeing a bear as a kid, and the grounds crew guy also mentioned bears coming through the camp ground) but that was no problem for us since we have a truck camper and keep all items locked inside. Our fire pit was a little run down, it was an old square brick type, and the bricks were crumbling off.. a little bit of mortar and a few replacement bricks and it would be perfect though. The pool area was just as I remembered from being a kid. The snack bar was great (yay for huge ice creams). The bathroom on the tent side of the grounds could definitely use some attention, one stall door has issues closing, the shower leaks into the toilet area during high usage, and one of the toilet paper dispensers won't remain secured on the wall. We had a good over all experience. The kids (6&9) loved playing in the pool and at the playground all day. We definitely plan to come back. Hopefully a few maintenance fixes for the bathroom areas happen, but all in all it was awesome to relive some of my childhood with my own kids.

Best campgrounds we've stayed at…read more Used the tent sites, & all of their tent sites were nice. Nearby restrooms 3 bathroom stalls & 3 shower stalls. There's even a laundry room. Fire pits were good too. The tent sites were SPACIOUS too I mean for my party of 6, we had 3 large tents with space & 2 trucks parked out of the way. Our site even had 2 benches. The shade provided by the trees was great, because as hot as it was, when we were present at our site we enjoyed relaxing underneath the shade. Front office staff were all very nice Saydra, Ricky & Whitney. All friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. There's also a campground store & grill. Grill food was fresh & bomb. Store part was great they carried a variety of things; ice, sunblock, water toys, camp lights, wagon, & so much more. They even have cute souvenir clothing, shirts, tanks, long sleeves, sweaters, hoodies, sun hats, sunglasses. The deck has great benches with umbrellas for shade with a great view of the lake. There's corn hole just have to ask for the bean bags. Mondays there's bingo. There's a pool 5ft. deep you have to leave a $20 deposit for the key at the front desk. Wood is cheaper here than at the Chevron. Campgrounds FAVE was the frosty (ice cream) Every morning when I went to use the bathroom, I witnessed staff cleaning the restrooms. So HUGE thank you to them for that. They even empty the trash bins throughout the day, through out the day you can catch someone on the golf cart roaming the campgrounds to make sure everything & everyone is good. There was always hot water, & cold water when needed. In the middle of the campgrounds there's a FUN playground with swings for the kids. There's even a basketball court & volleyball court too. This campgrounds is located in a great area too. Walking distance to the Antlers Marina(dock), short drive to a bunch of great swimming spots. A bit pricier than a few spots that we've stayed at but this campgrounds is WORTH IT! Definitely going to return, alsooooo upon checking out when I was at the office to double check if I needed to do anything else there was a long line in front of me of campers planning on returning too, booking their dates for 2024!!

Back in March we booked a three-day stay at Lakeshore Resort in Lakehead from June 11-14 to…read morecelebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. We frequent Shasta Lake and the Lakehead area, so we're familiar with the region and understand that many businesses are heavily dependent on the seasonal tourism industry. We chose Lakeshore Resort because of the amenities advertised on their website, including the pool, bar, restaurant, store, upgraded cabins, proximity to the lake and boat launch, and the option to rent an RV space next to our cabin to keep our boat. This setup was highly recommended and seemed perfect for our anniversary getaway. When we arrived on Thursday, the managers had everything ready for us and were very pleasant and welcoming. Before I continue, I want to say that my husband and I are not overly picky travelers. We don't expect luxury accommodations. However, when we entered Cabin #10, it was nothing like the photos shown online. We had paid for one of the upgraded cabins and were shocked by its condition. The cabin was extremely dated and in significant disrepair. The ceiling was falling down and had a hole in it that appeared to be plugged with toilet paper. The floors were uneven throughout, with multiple flooring types connected by jagged transitions and no transition strips. The ceiling fan wobbled so severely that it looked as though it might fall. The pantry and stove shown in the online photos were not present. The walls and ceilings had patches of mismatched white paint throughout. The shower did not drain properly because the floor sloped away from the drain, and the water temperature fluctuated between scalding hot and ice cold. Most of the electrical outlets were unusable because they had been painted over. The bed sagged in the middle, and the breakfast bar felt unstable, as though it could collapse if leaned on. At that point, all we could do was laugh and decide to go to the restaurant while we figured out what we wanted to do. On the way there, we noticed signs posted on the pool fence stating that the pool was closed for repairs. Once inside the restaurant, the hostess immediately informed us that the grill was down and only cold food items were available. We were happy to see our favorite bartender, Royce from Basshole, behind the bar, which ended up being the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed some cocktails and cold food, which was actually excellent. After dinner, we spoke with the manager and explained our concerns regarding the closed pool, the restaurant limitations, and the condition of the cabin. She was very apologetic and accommodating. She mentioned that she had not been aware the grill was down. We understand that these issues were largely beyond the control of the on-site management and appeared to be the result of decisions made by the new ownership. She immediately refunded the RV space we had rented for our boat. We decided to give the resort another chance and stay one night. We were told the grill would likely be operational the following day and that the pool might be repaired. With temperatures forecast to reach 102 degrees, both amenities were important factors in our decision to stay. Unfortunately, we got very little sleep. The ceiling fan wobbled and rattled throughout the night, and the wall-mounted air conditioner was extremely loud and had a musty odor. The cabin wasn't necessarily dirty--it was simply very old, stale, and poorly maintained. The overall condition made us uncomfortable. The next morning, we packed our belongings, returned to the office, checked out early, and requested a refund. Once again, the management team was professional, understanding, and accommodating, and they refunded our stay without issue. I want to emphasize that the managers handled the situation as well as they possibly could. Our disappointment lies with the condition of the property and the apparent lack of investment by the new ownership. We work hard for our money and simply could not justify spending approximately $200 per night for accommodations in that condition, especially for a special occasion like our 24th wedding anniversary. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend staying at Lakeshore Resort in its current state. Until significant improvements are made to the cabins and advertised amenities are restored and operational, prospective guests should carefully consider whether the resort offers the value they expect for the price. Just to be clear, we were not refunded for our entire stay. We were charged for one night in a run-down, dilapidated cabin that looked nothing like what was depicted on the website. Your statement that we were "fully refunded" is simply not accurate. Additionally, we were never given a discounted rate, despite your claim that we received one. We paid the full advertised price when we booked our stay.
