We camped at Lake Siskiyou, and got a nice spot very close to the lake, as close as you can get without renting a cabin. We could see the lake through the trees, and with a short walk, a fabulous view of Mt. Shasta. It was very chilly when we arrived (mid-late afternoon) with the wind coming off the water, but with the weather forecast showing a warming trend, we decided that if the forecast held, we would stay a second night and ride the hike/bike trail that goes all the way around the lake.
