Perfect campsite!

Great campsite! Will be bumpy for a regular sedan but we did see a Prius roll by. There a 3-5 sites along the road and very spread apart. We did not hear any other campers even though there were at least 2 nearby. Google will try to get you to the coordinates but doesn’t know about the existence of the final dirt road to get you there. So it gets you to a point and then expects you to walk across a small ravine. But as the other reviewers stated, keep going on the road keeping in mind that you are trying to get to exact coordinates listed which are accurate. See one of my pics. Google has you stop at the red X, but keep going along the blue path drawn.

Siteprobably 3rd site in but nothing is marked

Great spot!

Turn off is about a mile after coordinates listed. Can’t miss the turn off. We stayed here exiting and entering CA. Exactly what we were looking for our one nighters. Lake Siskiyou is super close and was warm enough for a quick dip before hitting the road.

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.
