Whats the camping like there. We are thinking about having a family get together there next year. We all have 5th wheels or motor homes.
With the water levels as low as they are, the camping situation is pretty bleak. Most of the camping areas are quite a ways from the water, even when the lake is full. There are several places that have great camping, I really enjoy Antlers Resort in Lakehead
http://www.antlersrvpark.com/ , but right now, they literally have no water.
I have stayed at Holiday Harbors campground
http://www.lakeshasta.com/silo_campground.html in a motor home when my kids were small, pretty small campground, which was good for us because we could keep an eye on them.
In all honesty, the best way to visit Lake Shasta is a houseboat. The lake is so vast (over 365 miles of shoreline with a full lake) that you can cruise around for a week and still not see it all.
The roads are challenging for larger rigs. Not impossible, just challenging.
