"The beach is sectioned off for social distancing. The camp sites are in the tall pine trees just steps away from the lake. I come back every year! Swimming in the lake is great!"

ScoutWhat a beautiful spot here. The Campground is well groomed and maintained. Super clean and our hosts were fantastic. Jay and Karen are very friendly and helpful. The vibe is"cozy" and tucked away in the forest. With a golf course down the street and amazing views of Mt Shasta, Weed is a hidden gem. Rates were super competitive. Their store offers things you need and some special, fun things you may not. Highly recommend. We will be back.
ScoutOutstanding free camp ground. Tables, asphalt parking spots, pit toilets. No water or garbage collection. Sooo quiet
Travelergreat spot! i got in with a lil mazda, tho i did turn back from some of the lower section. it’s a pull off to the left when going TO castle lake. spots splintering off along the main road. u can wander around and find one to ur liking, i got one with a wonderful view, fire pit, privacy, and a good sitting rock. enjoy :)
ScoutIt was my husband and I's first time trying dispersed camping, and this was beautiful. We really enjoyed the location. It was one way in 1 way out. So we felt safe. The only issue we had was there were a lot of bugs, but I believe that is due to the time of year. Would definitely stay here again. Few small spots at beginning of dirt road and then a few larger further down. Surrounded by dense forest.
GuideCastle Crags was one of my favorite camping experiences I've had in ages. I stayed here for five nights this past April. My site was so huge, I couldn't believe I only paid $12.50 a night for it (with my pass). The only major downside was that showers were down, and only the section of campground without showers was open. Yes there was some noise from the train and highway but I personally prefer this over yelling and bass. The PCT has an auxiliary trail to this campground and there is a site reserved just for PCT hikers for $6/night. There are several electric charging stations hidden near this site. The hike from the campground to the view of Shasta, Lassen, and Castle Crags was moderately difficult but relatively short and well worth the view. There are several famous waterfalls located not far from this campground and Weed, CA is only about 15 minutes away. Not much around other than that but I'd come back just for the campground.
ScoutGreat 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.
LegendWe stayed here a few years ago and the water was so low that we literally could not reach it, even after a long walk down, it just became too rocky. So we were incredibly happy this time around that the water levels were so high. It was beautiful. We scored ourselves a really cool spot right along the water on a Thursday afternoon, thinking that even if it gets busy for the weekend at least we have our nice spot secured. But. It was spring break. And just about an hour after we arrived, so did everyone else. We were practically surrounded by this huge group, with kids, loose dogs, ATVs, boats, dirt bikes, generators running, just…. Not where we want to be. We left the next morning. But I will say that the few peaceful hours we had before they all arrived were incredible. We’ll definitely go back, but only if it’s during the week and not on a school break.
It’s free to stay here in the off-season but $15/night during the season. Not really sure how the payment works since it’s dispersed camping along the lake shore but maybe it makes sense when you see it or when it's open. Pretty good cell reception here. We managed to navigate to our spot just fine in a 26ft class c.
ScoutClose to mt Shasta. Lots of other people here. Road is rough, don't recommend a super low clearance vechile
ScoutTurn 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.
