Recommendations on I-5 near Weed / Lake Shasta?

I've been reading RVParkReviews but nothing stands out.

We just need an overnight spot with 15amp and a tent site,easy access to the freeway. (On RVParkReviews most parks in the area indicate that they allow tents, but of course I will call and confirm that.)

I want to make a reservation, rather than drive around and look at parks, because we will be at the end of a long day's drive and it will be the weekend.

I'd appreciate hearing you folks' suggestions :).
  • Yreka RV park has easy on off a bit north of Weed.
  • We always stay at Mountain Gate RV Park which is located about 3 miles south of Lake Shasta - very nice. I believe there is one either right on the lake or one of it's arms - not nice like Mt Gate - been about 15 years so it maybe gone. I doubt reservations are needed as it's likely the prolonged drought has dried up Lake Shasta - haven't been down that way for a couple of years so that's just my speculation.
