This KOA Holiday provides a perfect blend of rustic mountain charm and modern convenience, allowing travelers to enjoy the rugged beauty of the region without sacrificing comfort. Whether you are arriving in a large motorhome or looking for a cozy cabin retreat, the park offers a quiet, wooded atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle of the central valley.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the small community of Shingletown, CA, this park sits at an elevation of approximately 3,500 feet.

Very nice RV park and campground. Nice amenities and nature area in the back. My spot was very level a pretty spacious. I had a full hook up spot. Shingletown is very close with lots of services. The entrance to Lassen National Park is about a 20 minute drive.

We've stayed at several KOAs and this was by far our favorite! The friendliest staff, clean facilities, nice pool and absolutely loved the fun things to do! Kids loved the big swings, yard games and volleyball court! Wonderful, beautiful location! Hope we can stay here again!

Absolutely the best KOA we’ve ever visited! Clean, beautiful and natural surroundings - we enjoyed walking all around, playing horseshoes, swinging on the giant swing!! There was a warm pool, ping pong, volleyball, frisbee gold and so much more fun entertainment for the whole family!! Everyone was friendly and welcoming and such respect for the environment and fellow campers! The cabins were so cute and the Rv sites were great! We had a patio with a table, fire pit and BBq! Thanks Doug for the hospitality - we will definitely return!! Great spot to visit Mt. Lassen!

He He was truly helpful not only to us to everyone. I saw him come in contact with he made the stay very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place

My husband and I tent camped here for a couple of nights and loved it. The staff were SUPER friendly, BIG shout out to Patti! She introduced me to their fancy coffee machine and went above and beyond by showing me step by step how to for making a hot chocolate cappuccino. My husband and I also loved the pancake/sausage breakfast they had for all the campers on a Saturday morning. I also loved how they had a fun family movie night for all the kids on a Friday night. The washer/dryer was quick and dried our clothes well, the showers were clean and had plenty of water pressure and hot water, and our tent site had plenty of shade. The first night here there was a camper playing loud music and then he woke my husband and I up at 1 am with hollering out something to where all the dogs in the area started barking but the second night was much more peaceful. My husband and I would definitely stay here again! We highly recommend this KOA and their firewood worked SO well despite it not being real wood. Thank you Lassen/Shingletown KOA crew for being awesome! :-)

We loved our stay! We stayed here for 5 days. The pool wasn’t open but the weather wasn’t warm enough most of our stay anyway. The grounds were super clean and super well maintained. There was a ton of outdoor games and a fun park for the kids. A huge shout out to Patti in the office! She was always so warm and welcoming. She went over and beyond to have the best customer service. She was great! We will be back!

First trip for 2025 season! Owners and their daughter are over the top amazing! They were so sweet to my little kids! We love to stay in cabins and tent camp. Excited to be back for their fall Festival.

Best KOA we’ve been to. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Our trailer spot was great and the WiFi worked well for TV streaming. Lots for the kids to do, including bike trails. Only about 15 minutes to Lassen volcanic NP. Highly recommend!

The Shingletown KOA is our kids' favorite place to stay. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the grounds are well-kept and cleaned, and the activities are so much fun. Our kids especially love the tree swings and the playground. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming again next summer!
