Pack Like a Pro
Don’t forget:

• Bug spray
• Bikes & helmets
• Camping chairs
• Lawn games

Bringing a boat? Please review the information on Dock Moorings posted on our Rentals & Moorings page.

Please do—Lake Siskiyou Resort does not provide rollaways, cribs, or pack ‘n plays.

It’s definitely possible – we do have bears!

The Lake Siskiyou area is home to black bears with an amazing sense of smell. Proper food storage and awareness are essential to preserve wildlife and ensure safety for yourself and those around you. “Food” can include any item with a scent (including toiletries and perfumes) regardless of packaging. These “food” items need to be stored properly. It is best to store food items in a vehicle trunk or out of sight with windows closed. Keep your site free of food and trash, utilizing the bear dumpsters throughout the property. Please report a full dumpster to the front gate. Do not leave trash on top of or on the ground near a dumpster. Do not attempt to burn any excess food or leave food out. If you encounter a bear, keep a safe distance and back away slowly, letting the bear pass. Make your presence known. Never feed bears. Failure to comply will result in expulsion with no refund.
