4 Reviews

Jones Valley Inlet Shoreline Campground, near Redding, California, is a solid spot for those looking to enjoy the beauty of Lake Shasta. With its proximity to the water, it serves as a great launching point for boating and fishing adventures.

This campground features a handful of sites, providing a cozy atmosphere for campers. Visitors appreciate the clean bathrooms and the quiet environment, making it a nice retreat after a day of exploring. One camper noted, “It was nice and quiet,” which is always a plus when you’re trying to unwind in nature.

The area is surrounded by impressive trees, including massive redwoods and manzanita, offering some shade and a beautiful backdrop for your camping experience. While some campers mentioned that privacy can be a bit lacking, the scenic views and access to the lake more than make up for it.

If you're up for a little adventure, the campground is a short trek from the water, especially when the lake levels are low. Whether you’re pitching a tent or just soaking in the sights, Jones Valley Inlet Shoreline Campground is a great choice for a laid-back getaway.

Not much privacy

There isn't a lot of privacy at this campground, but it's right next to the lake and makes for a good launching spot. There was a fire that clearly devastated the area - I'm sure there was once a lot of tree cover.

Expensive

$35 for a double site, when you aren’t even on the water is a little steep for a camp spot for me. close proximity to the lake but still not on the water. good shade coverage with beautiful redwoods and manzanita. when the water is low it may be a trek to the water. across the road and down the hill. average site. not my favorite coupled with the price.
