We really enjoyed our impromptu one-night stay in Shingletown. The campsite was peaceful, quiet, and beautifully surrounded by forest, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and kind to us. A highlight was waking up in the morning to see a deer wandering through the trees just behind our site. The laundry facilities were also very useful during our road trip.
