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.
TravelerDidn’t see anyone on a Thursday night. July 18, 2025
TravelerNestled among the trees, this campground was delightful! We checked in early (sorry we forgot to call!!) so the campground was fairly empty which made getting into our site C-5 a little easier as the turns were just a bit tight in our 43’ motorhome with toad. Yes, the sites are mostly dirt and rock but our site was level and that is a big plus!! We could hear some traffic noise but not a problem for us. It was quite warm when we were here so did not make use of the hiking trails or other amenities. They also have eggs for sale which we did not need but would have purchased. The chicken coup was super cute with its trailers housing the chickens and roosters. We would definitely visit again. We found the host, Jay very helpful!
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.
