"This is one of my favorite campsites in California. There all the falls, which are beautiful, the lake for swimming and water sports and lots of hiking trails."
"Lake to swim and boat in, waterfall short walk, General store with everything you can imagine and firewood, close by a town where you can eat out."
$26 / night
"We took an eight-day tour through Northern California and this was our first leg. Tent-camped three nights."
"California Hidden gems."
"It's close to the dog park if you have a dog.
The bathroom/shower is 3 sites down. Very clean.
Also close to the walking trail, basketball/volleyball courts& a neat tree swing."
"Close to the entrance to Lassen Park.
Cons: Some tent sites were better than others. My favorite tent sites were T6. T7, T8 and especially T13."
"Such a neat tucked away campground, but it is a little over an hour of windy dirt Road lots of drop off on the edges but beautiful views of Reddings humongous trees be prepared to go potty either in the"
"There are fire pits, toilets and a running stream close to most of the camp sites. Visited in April so Potem falls which is on your way to Madrone was running and very nice."
$30 - $60 / night
"The campground is about 30 mins from the highway, in beautiful forest and has easy access to the water. Campground was quiet, clean and empty when we were there."
"It took us 11 hours to drive there and even the little kids thought it was worth the drive. We had so much fun walking down to the lake fishing, swimming and playing with the dogs."
"I really love this small campground, especially this year when the lake is full. There's only 10-12 sites, bathrooms are clean. very quiet."
$30 / night
"Really nice campground with access to the water. I was there in mid July so it was very hot, but there is enough shade that the camp site stayed fairly cool."
"Beautiful views from our campsite and easy access to water. It was super peaceful!"
"Beehive point offers camping right on the waters of Shasta Lake and has absolutely amazing views. We have been up there a few times and it has rarely been busy."
"We 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."
"First day out on the Tiger for a lap of Idaho & Montana and I see there might be a hot spring near the town of Big Bend. A great little twisty road from 299 to Big Bend put a smile on my face. "
"Close to the mountain for skiing. Close to the lake for skiing. Nancy the manager was extremely helpful! We found this to have an old fashioned touch. Garbage facilities close by!"
"Only downside was the highway noise."
ScoutRoad into campground was horribly washboard...with trailer did not go above 10 mph. Reservation only campground...but not sure which site would fit our rig. The map on line did not give a lot of details. Had to go in scout sites , then go out to find internet service to he able to book a site. Many of the sites are one driveway...resembles pull through...but are actually 2 sites. The most level spot seemed to always be in the middle of pull through which wouldn't work if a stranger came in behind u to park. 1/2 the bath rooms were locked..no officials that came in could tell me why. My husband had to wait in line more than once to use the facilities. Campground was clean, bathrooms well stocked with toilet paper, trash picked up daily, everyone was quiet, but a lot of through traffic driving around. Great trails around..but not for our 4 legged friends. Poor dogs could not even swim in the lake(national park rules).
ScoutThis spot is great, plenty of space, quiet, great views of Mount Shasta, easy to access. Lots of spots tucked away to park next to, and even more tent spots you can walk to hidden just off the drivable areas. Saw about 5 people camping around us, mostly in cars with tents and some vans. There’s more than enough room for many people. There’s also a small creek you can bushwhack to to the east, and castle lake is a 30 min walk up the road.
I would probably not recommend with a trailer. I made it down with my Tacoma and a 12ft travel trailer but it was a stretch. Super easy to get in, but took a long time to turn around and get back out. Anything bigger than and you’re probably stuck. Other than that it’s perfect!
ScoutGreat camp spaces! Relaxing RVPark. Full hook ups. Bathroom and laundry room with key pass combo .
TravelerWe’ve been on the road for about a month now and this might take the cake for our favorite dispersed spot. There are a few others along this road, but this one takes the gold. It’s next to the creek and we fell asleep to the sounds of the flowing water. It’s quite level for our 23’ rig. Nice smooth road to access. If I had to say one negative it would be the dusty road, but it’s absolutely worth coming back here if you can secure this spot. It’s also very shaded in the morning which is always nice. 1 bar AT&T, no service for Verizon. Starlink worked great as always.
GuidePlease pack In and pack out. This is considered a sacred space by many with breathtaking views through the trees of mount shasta. 10/10 would recommend staying here if you don’t mind roughing it
GuideWe showed up on a Saturday night not expecting to find anything. Ended up getting what I believe was the best spot in the campground, 71. Talked to a neighbor and she said there was a big party there but they left that morning. Steep walk down to the lake but so worth it. The camp host talked to our neighbor for over an hour which seemed a little weird but I’m very introverted lol. This was definitely one of my favorite spots.
GuideI really liked this campground, and the convenience of being inside the park was great. The spots are decent sized, but are very close together and there isn't much for vegetation to separate the sites. You will see your neighbors and what they are doing, saying (and visa versa).
It's a tent only (or no hook ups) campground, which I prefer, but when I booked I didn't think about the parking pads. Many of the parking pads are at extreme angles, and would NOT be usable for folks with a roof-top tent, such as myself. I got lucky and the spot I booked just happened to be one of the flat ones. But driving through on my way to the site, I was getting very nervous, not many of them have the flat parking.
ScoutRight next to the creek and big spots! Our motorhome drove down here just fine. Caught a bunch of trout in the creek and had an absolute blast. Quiet and safe and lots of shade.
GuideConveniently close to the freeway, but not too loud. The facilities could use some updating but most everything works. It’s generally clean*. Overall not much shade but if you’re in a Sprinter or van sites 30 & 31 have AM shade (see pic). This place is very function for a stop on a Cannonball Run, but not for a long term stay, IMHO. *The Green Fire is 25 miles away and many of the woodland firefighters are staying here (so grateful for them). So the bathrooms were a little dirtier than probably normal, which is just fine.
