Sitting within Shasta National Forest near the community of Lakehead, Gregory Creek Group Campground runs along a creek corridor in forested terrain close to both a river and lake. The site is drive-in accessible with a 20-foot RV limit, and group rates run $170 per night. Amenities include drinking water, toilets, picnic tables, and trash service, with campfires and pets permitted. The season runs July through September, so snow or road closures limit access outside those months. Gregory Beach Shoreline Campground sits just 0.2 miles away for groups wanting a nearby alternative. Reservations are available and recommended given the group-site format and short operating window.
Description
Overview
The campground is a single loop and is moderately to thickly wooded with a mix of oak and pine trees that provide plenty of shade during the summer (80% + cover). The understory, which consists of manzanita, blackberries, poison oak, tree fern, wild grape and a variety of native grasses and forbs provide limited privacy between campsites. When the lake level is high, the bank is moderately sloped to provide access to the water. As the lake level drops, it exposes a steep drop off to the water, especially on the side of the campground nearest Gregory Beach. There is a boat ramp nearby at Antlers. Lake activities include fishing, swimming, motorized and non-motorized boating, and watersports. Each site has a picnic table, and a fire ring.
Recreation
Shasta Lake provides a variety of water sports, such as power boating, non-motorized boating and water skiing. A public boat ramp is provided near the campground. Anglers can fish for trout, catfish, Chinook salmon, crappie, bluegill, white sturgeon, brown bullhead and bass.
Facilities
Each site has a picnic table, fire rings, grills, and tent pads. Sites at this campground can accommodate both tents and RVs, however there are no electric/water hookups or dump stations. There are flush toilets at this campground but no showers are available. Drinking water is provided.
