Description

Overview

The campground is a single loop and is moderately to thickly wooded with a mix of oak and pine trees that provide plenty of shade during the summer (80% + cover). The understory, which consists of manzanita, blackberries, poison oak, tree fern, wild grape and a variety of native grasses and forbs provide limited privacy between campsites. When the lake level is high, the bank is moderately sloped to provide access to the water. As the lake level drops, it exposes a steep drop off to the water, especially on the side of the campground nearest Gregory Beach. There is a boat ramp nearby at Antlers. Lake activities include fishing, swimming, motorized and non-motorized boating, and watersports.
Each site has a picnic table, and a fire ring.

Recreation

Shasta Lake provides a variety of water sports, such as power boating, non-motorized boating and water skiing. A public boat ramp is provided near the campground.

Each site has a picnic table, fire rings, grills, and tent pads. Sites at this campground can accommodate both tents and RVs, however there are no electric/water hookups or dump stations.
