About Mt. Shasta Area
Recreation on the unit centers on the two designated wilderness areas of Mount Shasta and Castle Crags. Dominating the landscape for several hundred miles in all directions, Mount Shasta looms 14,162 feet, a beautiful snow-cloaked massif, second only to Mount Rainier in height among the famous Cascade Range volcanoes. No trails lead up Mount Shasta, but trails provide access to the Wilderness and the foot of the mountain.The Wilderness shares its southern border with Castle Crags State Park. You

Crystal-clear lakes dot the landscape, including several excellent fishing opportunities where you can try your luck catching rainbow trout and other freshwater species. The nearby Klamath National Forest and Castle Lake provide scenic beauty and peaceful recreation options. Hiking trails of varying difficulty levels crisscross the area, taking you through lush meadows, past alpine lakes, and through ancient volcanic terrain that tells the geological story of this remarkable region.

I believe this is our 8th time staying at the McCloud RV Park! We have stayed in our Travel Trailer and in the cabins! The cabins are so nice, we often stay in them in the winter while we work on and visit our property in the forest. We love everything about this park and never consider staying elsewhere!

Choosing McCloud I looked into Hotels but decided on the McCloud RV Resort. I tried the A-frame the first night. Great for sleeping only, no electricity. Then I moved to a cabin. Beautiful, clean, cozy, has everything you need, except food. And it has electricity. 😀 The sound of the stream from the falls that runs past the cabins made it so relaxing while I sat and read and enjoyed a glass of wine. Warren and Tammy, owners, are fabulous people. I arrived early and was allowed to check in. Totally felt welcomed. The caretaker's, Anthony and Brittany are two of the sweetest, and personable young people (husband & wife) I've ever met. As busy as Anthony was, he helped jump start my car when I tried charging my phone for 45 minutes since there was no electricity in the A-frame. Brittany took time during her busy schedule to tell me about all the fun places to check out. Thank you all for a great stay. I will be back. I hope others will find time to check out the McCloud RV Resort. ~lori hagen

A Special Place with Even More Special People – McCloud RV Park McCloud RV Park is more than just a beautiful, peaceful getaway — it’s a place that feels like home the moment you arrive.

A Special Place with Even More Special People – McCloud RV Park McCloud RV Park is more than just a beautiful, peaceful getaway — it’s a place that feels like home the moment you arrive. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains and shaded by tall pines, it offers everything you could want in a serene RV experience. The sites are spacious, the park is spotless, and the location is ideal for exploring all that the McCloud area has to offer. But what truly makes this place shine are the owners, Tammy and Warren. From the very beginning, they welcomed us not just as guests, but as friends. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine care for everyone who stays here is something rare and unforgettable. They’ve created a space that’s not only well-run and inviting, but filled with heart. Over time, Tammy and Warren have become dear friends, and our visits here now feel like coming home. They go above and beyond in every way — whether it’s sharing local tips, lending a helping hand, or simply stopping by for a friendly chat. Their presence is a big part of why we keep coming back. If you're looking for more than just a place to park your RV — if you're looking for connection, peace, and the kind of hospitality that stays with you long after you leave — McCloud RV Park is it. We can’t recommend it highly enough.
