What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 113 guest reviews
Basecamp Lodge earns consistently strong praise for its stunning location at the base of Mt. Shasta, well-maintained grounds, charming interiors, and relaxing outdoor spaces including hammocks. However, a recurring and notable complaint is mattress discomfort, with multiple guests reporting poor sleep, and the close proximity of cabins means noise from neighbors can be an issue. Guests willing to overlook sleep quality concerns and communal-living dynamics will find it a cozy, well-located retreat.
