    Our annual visit for the past three years. Writing another review due to the fact the Yelp listing has changed. Previously under Reynolds Resorts. Check-In is quite simple and fast. You'll receive the warning of bears but have not seen one yet. Continue to practice prevention is highly recommended. Many things to do such as fishing, kayaking, swimming, and a 7 mile hike around the lake. Family oriented campground. To avoid crowds reserve between Sunday to Thursday. Tent or RV full/partial hook-ups are available. Campground is ridiculously large with so many sites available. Our stay was detoxing and an absolute glamping experience. Grab a soft serve at their convenience store and a few rounds of beer next door.

    Its a fun place and the lake with a view of Mt.Shasta is breathtaking. We stayed in the small marina cabin. Its small and yes there are bugs. The cabin is not for small kids or people who rub their hands along walls. None of the wood is finished or sanded so splinter heaven. It is dirty and stains around the walls. We loved staying a cabin here, we have always done tent sites before so even though the price is more than I think it should be for the condition of the place we still preferred a cabin over the campsites. It is a bit over priced in my opinion. A small bundle of wood was $15. The stay per night was $187 plus an extra $10 for our 11yr old and $5 for a dog so a total was $368-ish for two nights. They do charge for anyone over 10yrs to stay at the cabins even though the cabins say the hold 4-6people. They charge for more than two people.

    Dog is my copilot.

    This review is specifically about the boat rental experience we've had at this resort. We don't have any experience with the camping or beach facilities. Lake Siskiyou is a treasure. It's a calm, smallish, swimmable lake at the base of Mount Shasta. We've been coming to this lake for many years to rent a patio boat for our small family (and dog). The customer service has always been top-notch from check-in to docking the boat after a few hours on the lake. We've always reserved in advance, usually for the July 4th weekend, and have had no trouble finding parking, getting help, or launching our boat from the dock. The dock crew is pleasant and friendly. The fact that they let us bring our dogs on the boat (for a fee) was a huge plus. They even have dog lifejackets, if that's your thing. There is a fee to enter the resort (a small amount per person).

    Had a great time at Lake Sis! Our campsite was clean & quite large for 11 of us. The best part was that we didn't have any nearby neighbors! Showers & bathroom facilities are well kept & cleaned regularly. The staff were all friendly & security passed by about every hour. They don't have any bear boxes so we did have to leave our food out but fortunately no bears/coyotes broke in. The lake was nice & the 7pm movie nights are a cute touch -- just bring your own chairs because those seats are not comfortable. We'll definitely be coming back here to camp!

    Would give this place a 3 star because it isn't year around; wanted to go paddle boarding but it isn't available. However we got a boat and the crew assisting us was amazing; they saved the trip!!!

    The showers

    We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend and let me tell you, NEVER AGAIN!! The bathrooms were deplorable. The showers left our group feeling even more dirty than we were before our showers. The bathroom/shower to camper ratio was waaayyy off. Plus, the campers around us were loud and extremely rude. No one observed the quiet hours with people partying into the early hours of the morning then the early risers were up with the sun blasting their music. There are no bear boxes so all of our food bins/ice chests had to be picked up and put into our vehicles every night. For as much money as we spent on this trip and how many people they pack into this campground they really need to make some upgrades and put in some bear boxes. The area is gorgeous and it's a bummer that this place is run so poorly because it has the potential to be beautiful.

    The beach was so cute! We loved the blow up obstacle courses. The staff was a little rude when we went up to ask questions before they opened. But the girl who got us checked in and booked was incredible sweet and made the experience much better. The bathrooms were very clean, at least the ones next to our campsite. The shower water was hot which was great because it was cold at night. The lake is really beautiful. We will be coming back.

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.)

In the beginning of the trail, there is a General Store and restroom. The restroom is an actual restroom with toilet and sink. Not a portable potty! The trail to Burney Falls was easy. Different parts of the trail, there is a different view of the fall. The view from bottom of the fall was breathtaking. Be very careful if you want to get close to the fall. The rocks can be very slippery. We went off season so the crowds were not as bad as expected. If visiting Friday-Sunday or during the holidays, reservations are required.

We did not sleep the night we got there as we were trying to scramble to find another place to stay at. We ended up staying in our vehicle and contacted the manager to report the infestation. The manager claimed that they've done their due diligence to keep their cabins sanitized, but if you refer to the photos and videos I posted that is a complete LIE! Instead of enjoying our vacation, we ended up having to go to a local laundry mat to clean our clothes. Not to mention upon coming home my nephew finds a bed bug on one of his bags. Can you imagine the hell we've been through? It's terrible! To top it off, my niece's friend gets rushed to the ER yesterday due to these bed bugs biting her all over her body. She was sent home with topical and oral medication. Refer to the photos! I'm severely disappointed with the lack of accountability of the manager and its property. My sister tried speaking to a staff member today to follow up and she hung up on my sister after claiming someone would call her today to get this settled. We are planning to file a complaint and a report to the local health department. We are concerned that other people may encounter the same problem. Please beware!

This campground has been recently renovated and was only about 1/3 occupied when we stopped in on a Tuesday in late July. The sites are spacious with paved parking for your vehicle, a picnic table and a fire ring. The campground host was super friendly and even gave us firewood for s'mores! It appears to be popular with the fishing crowd, and there is a boat ramp at the base of the campground as well as a trail that loops around the small lake. Nice and quiet; clear, clean water; only a few mosquitoes. We would absolutely stay again. Directions: From I-5 at Weed, CA travel northeast on State Hwy 97 approx 35 miles Ball Mtn Road. Turn west (left) on Ball Mtn Road approx 4 miles to Forest Service Road 46N04. Turn right on 46N04 and continue to Juanita Lake and Campground.

Ground squirrels & chipmunks run wild in the camps we actually ged a ground squirrel right from our hand it was a friendly trusting little feller. Got to see deer twice in camp just grazing away. That was cool. Good campsite. $15 a night ain't a bad deal. No showers but they do have porter potty style bathrooms & potable water.

    I don't often review campgrounds but so many people commented on specific sites and no one…read morecommented on Site 11, which is the one I booked this weekend so here you go future bookers: We were able to fit two single backpacking tents and two larger two person tents but both the official tent spot and our unofficial spot had notable, but tolerable slopes as noted multiple times in reviews. There is a parking spot for site 11 across the campground road near a pit toilet. Flush toilets are located on the other side of the parking lot, which is right next to site 10. Site 10 seemed like it had a nice lake view. You can see the lake through the trees from site 11. There are no bear boxes! You store food and toiletries in your car at night. Wing wildlife included mosquitoes (light), yellow jackets (heaviest mid morning), and very loud cicadas. My ears were ringing like I went to a loud concert. I have to assume that's seasonal. There's a "boat launch" past the flush toilets near the tent cabins that was nice for setting up a few camp chairs and entering the water in floaties. There were a few other beaches further on but they were full. There was a kerfuffle over an inflatable kayak while we were there so keep an eye on your things! The lake was shockingly not ice cold like many CA lakes I've been in but it was also 100 degrees out. We stayed in for hours. So nice!

Some feedback on the campground: - The glamping site bed is super comfortable. We fell asleep instantly and got woken up next day by the morning sun. - The glamping sites are set up well, have enough space, each come with a fire pit, 2 plastic chairs, 2 wooden chairs, a full table + benches and a LED lantern. - The bathrooms at are clean, flush toilets. The ranger is re-stocking toilet paper daily. Big plus! - There are no showers at the campground. Good news is that you can simply take a swim in the lake :) - There's no cell phone reception (AT&T, at least) once you leave Redding. - This is a pretty small campground, which is really nice because you have a lot of space and it's not too crowded. As with any campground, it can still be noisy with kids or other neighbors that talk at night. You might want to bring earplugs if you don't fall asleep easily.
