1.0 Preface
The Siskiyou County Flood Control and Water Conservation District ("District") is seeking
proposals from qualified professional operators to manage the Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort. The
selected operator will be responsible for the day-to-day operations, maintenance, and capital
improvement of the 270-acre, camp resort located at 4239 W.A. Barr Road, Mt. Shasta, CA.
Primary Objective: To provide high-quality, accessible public recreation while maintaining the
facility in accordance with the Davis-Grunsky Act (Contract #DGGR16) and the District's flood
control mandates.
2.0 Scope of Work
The Operator shall perform all duties necessary for a premier outdoor destination serving
approximately 35,906 guests annually, ensuring safe, reliable, and high-quality recreational
access for the public, including:
• Public Service & Guest Experience: Provide responsive customer service, maintain a
welcoming and family-friendly environment, and ensure continued public access and
enjoyment of campground, marina, and recreational facilities.
• Facility Management: Oversight and maintenance of 380+ sites (RV, tent, and "Park
Model" rentals), General Store, and restaurant facilities.
• Marina & Waterfront: Operation and maintenance of the boat ramp, bait shop, gas dock,
and mooring slips.
• Infrastructure Maintenance:
o Water & Sewage: Full operational responsibility for on-site systems, including the
intake (outside lease boundaries), lift stations, and water filtration systems.
o Roads: Shared responsibility; the District historically covers the first $10,000/year
for repairs, with the operator covering overages.
o Onsite Buildings: Operator will be responsible for all routine maintenance and
minor repairs to onsite buildings that are necessary for day-to-day operations.
o Snow Removal: Operator must handle snow removal for accumulations of 4 inches
or less; District assists with larger storms on an "as-available" basis.
o Campsite Availability: During the busy season (May through September), Operator
will ensure all campsites are open, in serviceable condition, and available for public
booking, except when temporarily closed for maintenance or safety reasons.
• Winter Public Access: Provide free public daily use access to the park grounds from
December 1 to March 1.
Proposers should feel free to include any other services not specified that they deem
necessary to achieve the goals of this RFP.

3.0 FINANCIAL PROPOSAL & REVENUE SHARING
The District seeks a competitive Franchise Fee (Royalty) structure. Bidders should propose:
• Proposed Schedule of Operations: Proposals should include the proposed start and end
dates of yearly operation, including any seasonal or limited operating periods.
• Proposed Royalties: A percentage of gross sales (historically 10% for general sales and
5% for restaurant sales).
• Pricing Strategy: Proposals must align with or improve upon the 2024 Baseline Rates
(e.g., $43.00 for standard campsite sites, $67.00 for 50amp FHU, etc.) and should include
clear justification for all rates and fees. *Please note that any proposed pricing changes are
subject to approval by the Board of Supervisors and will require an addendum to the current pricing
schedule.
• Capital Investment Plan: A 5-year plan for facility upgrades. Previous operators were
required to invest over $1.1 million in revenue-generating improvements. *Any capital
improvements constructed or installed by the Operator shall become the property of the District and
shall remain with the property upon termination or expiration of the agreement.
4.0 Term
The District is seeking these services for a period of thirty (30) years, with the District seeking
