Accessible only by boat, this US Forest Service campground sits along Shasta Lake's shoreline within Shasta National Forest. The boat-in format requires campers to transport all gear and supplies by watercraft, as no road access exists to the sites. Pets are not permitted at this location.
The campground provides a lakeside camping experience for those with boats or watercraft access. Campers exploring the broader region can find additional campgrounds around Shasta National Forest with vehicle access. The boat-in requirement limits this spot to experienced boaters comfortable navigating Shasta Lake and hauling camping equipment across water.
Description
