Hill Road

1 site · RV27 acres · Mount Shasta, CA

This campsite is a full hook up RV pad that can accommodate up to two RV's. If you would like to bring along a friend with an RV or van for the second spot please let me know. We rent it out as one site, so you will have it to yourself. Campers are asked to stay within the RV site. The site does sit on the edge of the property so I would consider it semi- private. A picnic table is provided.

The best camping near McCloud Falls guide

Overview

About

The McCloud Falls are located alongside the 4 mile long McCloud River Trail. Three sets of waterfalls can be found with various stopping points perfect for summer swimming and viewing the fall foilage. This very smooth trail is perfect for the casual hiker and even includes a paved section for wheelchair accessibility.

When to go

The best time to visit McCloud Falls is year-round, with each season offering its unique charm. Summer provides perfect conditions for swimming, while fall brings a tapestry of vibrant foliage. Early spring welcomes a thaw, making the trails accessible for those eager to witness nature's reawakening. In winter, snowshoes or skis are essential for the snowy wonderland that envelops the park.

Know before you go

Always exercise caution near waterfalls and rivers, as conditions can change and submerged boulders may present hidden dangers.
Some sections of the trail are ADA compliant, offering accessibility for all adventurers.
Be prepared for varying weather conditions and bring appropriate gear, especially during winter months.
Check the official McCloud River Trail guide for the latest information on trail conditions and closures.
Support the Mount Shasta Trail Association through donations to help maintain the beauty and accessibility of the trails.
