Nice spot near Shasta

We stayed one night here for a break while driving north. As someone else mentioned the turn off is a little past the coordinates given, but the road is very obvious on the right side. The first few spots seemed small/tight, but we found a more spacious one a little down with a built up fire ring. As far as I could tell we were the only ones around on a Friday night.

Serene Escape

Really easy trail was about a mile past the coordinates on google map but it’s a very obvious dirt road. Stayed at the 5th site in which is spacious and has a few paths for small hikes.

I didn’t want to ruin the rating but it’s somewhat hard to find down a dirt path. Would recommend for 4 wheel drive only

Easy find near Castle Lake

You’ll have to enter a dirt road to get down to this spot. There will be several sites, but small ones all along that dirt road. This site specifically is good for when camping with a Van or small trailer.
