Lakehead Creek Retreat
3. Lakehead Creek Retreat
35mi from Anderson · 1 site · Tent, RV
The campsite is approximately 3 miles from the river, and it is connected to a creek that flows into the river. These creeks run year-round and are perfect for taking a dip! This is a 253 Acre property near the Sacramento River that flows through the area of Lakehead near Redding and Shasta Lake. There are a couple of really good fishing spots along the river. On the property itself, there are three year-round flowing creeks.
Lots of Deer on the property since we don’t hunt, and so they come on our land as a little sanctuary. Beautiful view of the Shasta area mountains. Multiple places to hike and find water holes.
There is Poison Oak on the property; please be mindful. There are bears, but they will normally stay away from the campsite. Please put your food away to prevent wildlife from coming into your camp. There are fish in the Sacramento River that can be fished for. This is the wilderness; there are mosquitoes, flies, and other bugs. Please bring bug spray.

Stargaze Ridge Wilderness Camp
4. Stargaze Ridge Wilderness Camp
35mi from Anderson · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
PLEASE READ!
Tucked away on 20 semi-secluded acres in Lakehead, CA, this private land borders National Forest land, perfect for those seeking peace, privacy, or family adventure. Hike steep hills to the ridge, stargaze under open skies, or explore nearby attractions like Lake Shasta, Shasta Caverns, the Upper Sacramento River, and other hidden gems, great for fishing, hunting, mushroom foraging, or simply unwinding in nature.
Both camps are located at the end of the road not far from Interstate 5. Behind the gate is our property and a short, fairly steep driveway to the top. Vehicle length limited to 20ft. and trailers limited to 18ft. AWD, 4WD, and FWD recommended. The top is flat and has room to turnaround. The mountains are calling!
Whether you’re here for climbing Castle Crags, boating on Shasta Lake, or enjoying the quiet, this off-the-beaten-path retreat offers a true NorCal wilderness experience. The Upper Sacramento River is just three miles away, with swimming holes, kayaking rapids, and fishing spots which are some of the closest activities without needing to drive on the freeway.
The camps are on the north side (North Camp) and the south side (South Camp) separated by the small home and are shady in the summer late afternoons. First come, first serve bases. Picnic tables, potable water, and power outlets are available.
Conveniences are less than 20 minutes in the little town of Lakehead. It has gas stations, and a nicely stocked general store and Camp Shasta restaurant with great food and a cool mountain vibe!
This is true wilderness, yet only 10 minutes the freeway. Expect mosquitoes, flies, and other bugs. There is poison oak around, but not in the camping area, so please prepare accordingly. There are bears, foxes, deer, snakes, and other wildlife in the area. A bear box is provided for food storage.

We were in the rv first time we stayed and the cottage the second time. Loved them both. Clean, comfy, ac worked amazing! Off the beaten path, which we really liked! Both had everything you might need for a great stay. Will stay again when passing through!
Rv was a bit too short for my husband (he’s 6’6”).

I would not recommend booking with this particular place. Unfortunately, in an honest mistake I booked the day for a day earlier than the actual booking. When I reached out to the host to get support, not only was he rude and uncaring, he would not offer any kind of partial refund or credit for the appropriate day that we were actually supposed to have booked it.. I requested a booking change and partial refund. Then, when I rebooked it for a second time, And requested a refund for the original night he refused because he states that he had to pay for cleaning. Well that’s impossible because we were never there. Then he offered to give us three bottles of wine in exchange, not only do we not drink, but that is an insult to us.
When I expressed my frustration kindly, and asked for some movement or help, he stated he would not and that he helped I understood. So then I said OK then just cancel the booking for tonight as well because we don’t want to stay somewhere where we are treated like this. He said we are welcome to cancel it, but he does not accept any refunds. Mind you it had been only about a 20 minute conversation, so now he has taken our money for two nights with absolutely no services given and no kindness in return.
Listen, I understand that he could’ve had a booking for the original night and that he may have lost out on some money. But that is probably unlikely given that I booked it last minute. What I am looking for is just some compromise. None. Swindler!!

Great little spot. Right next to a tiny home & a cabin. Very quiet when no one else was there. RV was a great size & was stocked with all the comforts of home. Loved being able to have my furballs join me!!! They were very comfy. Would stay again.

This was a wonderful and peaceful place to spend a few evenings.
I was fortunate enough to get clear evening skies and able to capture some beautiful deep space images with my telescope.
