Bushytail is a beautiful campground! However, the day we arrived, so did a group of at least 25 from the same family. Seven tents went up in close proximity and a city was born. Although very nice people, with a group that size, it is next to impossible to keep the noise down. The noise was outside the quiet hours but it was nonstop the entire day! They basically took over the restroom, forcing us to walk to the one located at the entrance. Someone vomited in the restroom, as well as outside the door. This was not cleaned during our stay. We are trying to figure out the logic of mixing single sites with double, triple and quad sites. These larger sites are essentially group sites and not needed since there are several designated group sites nearby. We recommend converting Bushytail to single sites only and moving the larger groups to the group sites where they belong. Fortunately, the "mob" stayed only a couple days and we ended up having our last two days in peace and quiet. That was heaven on earth. Our rating would have been much lower had we not had those last couple days of tranquility.

Beautiful site but no dump station. Motorhomers beware! Bushytail has water and electric but no dump station. Shasta is a beautiful National Park, and I highly recommend it if you love nature.

After 3 yrs. campground has a Camp Host again. Camp Host thinks a leaf blower is needed to clean the sites and road, maybe a broom would be better. Also Camp Host thinks the shower is their personal space. Not the quiet campground it used to be.

Main trash dumpster was full to the brim with trash. We were at campsite #8 for four days. It was never emptied. The hot water for the public showers was not working. Campground 8 does not have a bear box. Trash around campsite should be removed, debris should at least be blown off thr paved area, fire pits cleaned and the camp site should be clean and usable for arriving campers.

great campground - amazing host - very quaint & quite crowd with great space & firewood
spotty/ voice only coverage for Verizon & ATT.
Clean restrooms. The host was kind enough to have us use the available open spot that was reserved by someone but never showed up.
Note: Campsite no. 12 is NOT FF; it's where the camphost host lives :)
