august 2011
We're still hammering out a specific date and will announce it soon but in the meantime we'll be on like Donkey Kong for 7 days of summer camping fun in Northern California.
Our selected campground location is situated at 3,181 feet at the base of 14,179 foot Mount Shasta.
Campground:
Lake Siskiyou Resort & Camp www.lakesis.com.
4239 W. A.Barr Road
Mt. Shasta City, CA
Review: "This is a true gem of a lake, a jewel set at the foot of Mount Shasta at 3,181 feet. The lake level is almost always full (because it was built for recreation, not water storage) and offers a variety of quality recreation options, with great swimming, low-speed boating and fishing. The campground complexes are huge, yet they are tucked into the forest so visitors don't get thier styles cramped. The water in this 435-acre lake is clean and fresh. There is an excellent beach and swimming area, the latter protected by a buoy line. In spring, the fishing is good for trout , and then as the water warms, for smallmouth bass. A good boat ramp and boat rentals are available, and a 10 MPH speed limit is strictly enforced, keeping the lake pristine and quiet."

Note: This location offers an abundance of recreational opportunities. Surrounded by National Forests in every direction, with close proximity to Castle Crags and McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial, state parks. Two National Parks, Lassen Volcanic and Crater Lake (Oregon) are within a few hours drive. Several sweet, rambunctious rivers are in the immediate area as well.
Update: Spoke with the friendly lady (Yvette) at Lake Siskiyou Resort Camp today and we're on as soon as we pick the date. (looking like 2nd week in August and will know for sure in the next few days so stay tuned) Once that's decided upon we can go ahead and begin reserving campsites.
Campsites: We were looking to go with a Group Site but poo-pooed that idea due to the need of trailer space for our Tear Drops and peeps who sleep in thier E's.
So we've decide to go with individual campsites instead. There are a lot of good sites available and "Yvette" tells me that she'll keep us bunched together and not flung out all over the place, in one of the best areas within the campground.
Party Boat: We'll be renting a party boat during our stay here that will accomadate about 30 people and float around the lake and party our asses off. More on that later as well.
more info coming...
