High on Mount Shasta's slopes at 8,500 feet elevation, this dispersed camping area sits along the Clear Creek Route within Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Campers hike in to reach scattered sites that maintain tree cover, which provides protection from mountain weather and wind exposure that increases at higher elevations.
Clear Creek runs nearby, serving as a water source for backpackers tackling multi-day summit attempts. The area accommodates overnight stays for climbers breaking up the ascent, though campers should prepare for potential thunderstorms that move across the mountain. For those exploring the region's other high-elevation options, campsites near Mount Shasta include additional forest service areas at varying altitudes.
