Weekend Trip to Alpen Vineyard Hideaway

The glamping tent was great, loved the view of the winery, flush toilet and hot water shower were a treat while camping. Spent lots of time in the swimming hole since it was 100 out. Made our trip enjoyable despite being in town for a funeral.

3 nights at Trinity Outpost Wilderness Resort

This is such a gem of a find! I will definitely be back. Everything was far better than I could have imagined! The hosts are so kind and truly care about the land and the campers. So many thoughtful touches like free firewood, tetherball, tree swing, and so much more.

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

It was AMAZING thank you very much for sharing and keeping that place pristine

8 nights at Kosk Creek Campgrounds

Kosk Creek is an experience I’ve never had before; it was amazing. I went camping on a holiday weekend and even with around 14 other camping groups, my friend and our 2 dogs had a huge, private, beautiful riverfront camp spot. This property is the safest I’ve ever felt at a campground. The gate to the camping area remains locked 24/7 and you’re given the code to enter and exit whenever you wish. The tent camping is a dispersed open field with places to tuck away in the foliage or along the river, there’s no assigned spots so you just pick out wherever you like. We visited 3 surrounding bodies of water to paddleboard and they were all gorgeous. The bathrooms at camp are well kept porti-potties. We were able to get a camp spot that had a nice picnic table, fire ring and seasoned wood for a fire, not all spots have tables and fire rings. There are tall trees and foliage for shade. The camp host was the nicest guy and answered all of our questions. I think I counted 6 separate hot spring tubs. They’re all on the river so you can use a 5 gallon bucket to adjust the temperature to whatever you like. My only warning is that some locals enter the upper hot springs area from an off property trail and we encountered some possibly dog-aggressive dogs. If you don’t have dogs with you, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. There’s a small general store a couple miles away in Big Bend that had everything we needed. There’s no cell service for at least 10 miles in any direction.

1 night at Camp Stoney Meadows

Great location and secluded. Hosts are great and the amenities are excellent! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Trinity Outpost Wilderness Resort

I loved camping here. The creek and amenities of the site made this experience enjoyable. The bathrooms, general store, overall space and access to clean spring water made this one of my favorite camping grounds I’ve been to.

Weekend Trip to Trinity Outpost Wilderness Resort

Beautiful and remote! Directions were easy and clear, last 10ish miles are dirt roads, so slow going. Easy creek access from the campsites. Sites are well spaced so you don’t feel on top of the other sites. There was no cloud cover the nights I was there, so you could see the stars.

General store where you check in (free WiFi here!)

Great stewards of the land, loved meeting the three hosts, Carey, Jerry, and Cody. I was surprised by the interesting landmarks nearby.

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

Amazing tent and RV sites at Kosk! Scott is awesome and there’s so much space and incredible spots. The hot springs are incredible and the river is amazing. I’m so grateful to Scott for being so hospitable and checking on us daily to make sure all was great. We’ll be camping there again!

Weekend Trip to Kosk Creek Campgrounds

WOW. This place is so serene and peaceful. We met the owner Scott who is a gracious host who wants others to enjoy his beautiful property. The camping area is on Kosk Creek (more like a small river) which is amazing, but is even more amazing because of the hot springs along the creek. We would highly recommend this place and will be telling friends about it. We would go back here in a minute

Camping near Shasta Lake guide

Overview

Spanning 30,000 acres, Northern California’s Shasta Lake is the largest man-made lake in the state. With more than 360 miles of winding and forested shoreline, dotted with hundreds of protected inlets, coves, and bays, it’s a boater’s paradise. Houseboats are especially popular, but all manner of watercraft can be found here, along with numerous boat ramps, marinas, and service docks. Fishing and water sports are also big draws. More than 30 developed, dispersed, and group campgrounds around the lake’s three major arms offer plenty of options for campers to enjoy the water and scenic views of snow-capped Mount Shasta nearby.

Where to go

Sacramento River Arm

With access from Interstate 5, the Sacramento River Arm is home to several private RV parks and more than a half dozen forest service campgrounds. Right by the town of Lakehead, the aptly named Lakeshore East Campground offers sites for tents, RVs, and yurts, while nearby Antlers Campground sits on a bluff overlooking the lake. Several dispersed campgrounds, including Beehive Point, Gregory Beach, and Salt Creek, sit along the shoreline. Boaters can head to the Gooseneck Cove Boat-in Campground, while groups have options at Gregory Creek and Nelson Point.

McCloud River Arm

Right off Interstate 5 and near the access point for the Lake Shasta Caverns, the year-round Bailey Cove Campground is a popular option, and offers its own boat ramp. Enjoy great lake views from the Hirz Bay Campground further up the river. The McCloud River Arm is a great destination for groups, with several group campgrounds located here, including at Hirz Bay, Dekkas Rock, Moore Creek, and Pine Point. Boaters can stay at the Greens Creek Boat-in Campground.

Pit River Arm

The Pit River Arm is home to two of the four boat-in campgrounds on the lake, including Arbuckle Flat and popular Ski Island, which can sometimes be accessed from Mariners Point Group campgrounds when the lake level is low. Just a few miles away from the Jones Valley Boat Ramp, the Lower and Upper Jones Valley campgrounds are great options for boaters, while the Jones Valley Inlet Dispersed Campground lets campers stay along the shoreline.
