I am looking to spend a week at Lake Shasta next summer and have a family get together. I have never been there so looking for the best way to do this. Is it better to get a cabins or a house boat? What is the best company to go through? I will be bring my boat down to spend the whole time on the water. What are some tricks and any tips on the best way to do this. We are looking at 18 to 40 people. Will most likely be on the 18 person side but some family members could surprise us.

It's a big lake that was down a lot this year due to our lack of rain.
Cabins fill up fast and the houseboat prices rise quickly during May, so check the various online pricing. There are a lot of first come camping areas without a lot of amenities. Check with Jones Valley and Silverthorn's for availability and pricing
Lake Oroville is a little farther for you but also a very nice lake with rentals and great camping facilities
Eric,
Thanks for the response. After thinking about this a cabin would be better. Who wants to be stuck on a house boat with family for that many days. Well I would not be since I would just grab the boat and go but the rest of the fam would be.
Jester, only problem with the cabins is capacity, they generally don't hold too many people, so you really will need to know who is ACTUALLY going to show up. Which tend tends to be hard as you will get a lot of "Yeah, I'll be there!!, followed by the "...turns out we couldn't make it, sorry..."Quote:
