What Accommodation Options Does McCloud RV Park Offer and How Do They Differ?

Updated

McCloud RV Park offers three types of stays — RV sites, furnished cabins, and A-frame rentals — and the right choice depends on whether you're bringing your own rig, want a full-service indoor stay, or are looking for a simple, budget-friendly shelter for one or two people. RV sites start at $69/night, A-frames at $79/night, and cabins at $199/night. The park is open all year and sits at the base of Mount Shasta, surrounded by the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

Quick comparison

Option Best for Key features Starting rate
RV sites Travelers with their own RV Full hookups (30/50 amp), some extra-large spaces, shady/grassy spots, free WiFi, pet-friendly $69/night
A-frames Couples, solo travelers, small groups of 2–3 Sleeps 2 or 3, elevated wood deck near the stream, wood camp stove, shaded forest setting $79/night
Cabins Guests who want a no-hassle, fully furnished stay Linens, dishes and kitchenware provided, heating and air conditioning, private bathroom with hot shower, steps from trout creek and trails $199/night

RV sites: bring your own rig

Choose an RV site if you're traveling in your own vehicle and want full hookups rather than indoor amenities. Each site includes 30 or 50 amp service, and the park notes that some spaces are extra-large and some are shady and grassy — useful details if you have a big rig or want to sit outside in the afternoon shade. Free WiFi is included, and pets are welcome.

The trade-off is that everything beyond the hookup is yours: you're paying the lowest nightly rate for the location and the view, not for furnished comfort.

A-frames: simple and scenic

The A-frames are the middle option and the most distinctive. They sleep 2 or 3 people, sit on an elevated wood deck near the stream, and come with a wood camp stove. The setting is described as shaded forest with tranquil water sounds.

This is a good fit if you want a roof and a bed without paying cabin prices, and you don't mind a more rustic setup. It is not the choice for a group larger than three or for anyone who wants a private bathroom and kitchen on hand.

Cabins: fully furnished comfort

Cabins are the choice when convenience matters most. They are fully furnished with linens, dishes and kitchenware — the park's framing is "just bring your clothes" — and include heating and air conditioning plus a private bathroom with a hot shower. They sit steps from trout creek and forest trails.

At $199/night, cabins cost roughly three times an RV site. That premium buys you indoor plumbing, climate control, and a kitchen, which tends to matter for families, off-season trips, or anyone without an RV.

How to decide

  • You have an RV and want the lowest cost: RV site at $69/night, and ask about extra-large or shady spots when booking.
  • You're one to three people who want something memorable and inexpensive: A-frame at $79/night.
  • You want heat, AC, a private bathroom, and a kitchen: cabin at $199/night.
  • You're traveling with a club, family, or larger group: the park markets itself for group bookings, so it's worth contacting them directly about combining sites or units rather than booking piecemeal.

Before you book

Rates shown are starting prices, so the actual cost of a specific site or unit may be higher depending on the space or dates. Availability and booking are handled through the park's website. One practical note from the park's own announcements: propane is now pumped on-site, which is useful for RV travelers refilling during a stay.
