Shasta View Campsites are part of a former 30,000 acre ranch that was split up into smaller parcels in the 1970's. It is comprised of 5 to 500 acre parcels. All these parcels are homesteads. There are no commercial or industrial areas on the Ranch. In 2005, I started looking for land in the Shasta area after falling in love with the Mountain and it's surrounding lakes. I have always known exactly what the land I would spend time on would look like. One day, in 2006, I was driving on the Hammond Ranch, again hoping I would find that place. I was driving my van, with my 2 kids and some of our friends, through a heavily wooded area. I made a left turn down a dusty dirt road and Eureka! I had found IT. I was at the top of a 60 acre meadow that had a full unobstructed view of Mt. Shasta, encircled by lenticular clouds. I told a friend of mine, who was at the time a realtor in the Shasta area, that I had found a piece of land that looks perfect to me. If, that is, it also had a creek on it. She did some searching around and found out that the land that is now Shasta View was in fact for sale. And, it had a creek on it. And it was comprised of some acreage in the meadow and some in the trees. This was everything I had wanted. I bought the land within the next 2 weeks. After camping on the land a few times, I started to understand where the best sites would be to build some structures. Because the meadow always has a certain amount of moisture to the ground, it is not suitable for building a structure. The good thing about that, is that nobody who owns land in that meadow will ever build there. We will only be looking at Mt. Shasta from that meadow. Never a building. The platform I built in the meadow offers on a chance to sleep under the stars. Billions of them. My property is only one of two that have old, large Cedar and Pine trees on it. It made perfect sense that I would be building a small house in those trees. While camping on this land, you will find exquisite beauty and solitude. Within 30 minutes, you will find Lake Siskiyou and Castle Lake for some of the finest swimming around. If you fish, the McCloud and the Sacramento rivers offer some of the best trout fishing in the state. There are two “Blue Ribbon” designated streams. The first is Upper Sacramento River. It starts as a trickle from the melting snows of Mt Shasta and by the time it reaches the area around the town of Dunsmuir which is just south of Shasta City, it is a true “Blue Ribbon” designated trout stream. The place to find all the ins and outs of fly fishing in this area is at the Ted Fay Fly Fishing shop in Dunsmuir. The second “Blue Ribbon” trout fishing is on the McCloud River. Historically some of the best trout fishing to be found. I have fished both these streams and always caught fish. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BEDDING IF YOU'LL BE SLEEPING IN THE TREEHOUSE. And need I say anything about hiking on Mt. Shasta?

The cabin is super cute and has just what you need. It is clean and updated and the perfect glamping experience. I love that you can hear the river from the back porch and the cabins are surrounded by nature. The grass area with fire pits and string lights above was super cute and such a fun vibe. I loved it and would love to stay again!

Johanna's place is lovely! It's clean and well thought out. She cares for it meticulously. There is outdoor hangout space and a lovely outdoor shower. You can listen to owls and watch the moon from the bed. Lots of cool birds in this blue oak woodland as well. I stayed for a conference at Turtle Bay, and the commute was ten minutes of easy driving. Highly recommend.

This is a great stop off i5! Highlights include the am trail system right out the back door that leads to a river walk, and the close proximity to parks and waterfalls. The staff was friendly and eager to help. The airstream was tidy. If you’re a light sleeper the train and highway noise might be tough for you, and the airstream’s bed was pretty tough on my back, but it’s glamping after all.

Weekend Trip to Trailer Lane Campground

I am writing to share how much I enjoyed my recent stay at Trailer Lane. It was an awesome experience, and I wanted to reach out and let you know how much I appreciated the stay. The facilities were very clean/well-maintained, and the overall environment made for a fantastic trip. I will certainly be recommending this location to others looking for a great place to camp. I particularly enjoyed petting the chickens and goats, and the view of Mt. Shasta from the tent camping area was spectacular. The sound of the frogs at night also made the stay very peaceful. From this campsite you can make a waterfall loop and see 6 maybe even 7 waterfalls in one day. I did 6 it took 4 hours and very worth it. I saw a 40ft 5th wheel parked so I know I can bring my 35 ft 5th wheel next time. I stayed in the Denali this trip. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience. Best regards, Maryann

Cool airstreams and cottages backing to waking paths in the arboretum. It’s a small town, so close to grocery store and waterfall hiking trail. Friendly and helpful staff. It is right off the highway, so there is some muted road noise, but the provided earplugs and eye masks were a nice touch (although we didn’t find they were needed for us to test comfortably).

Easily one of the best places we’ve stayed. The convenience, amenities and value were phenomenal and these hosts go above and beyond to give you a comfortable and very leisurely experience. Being able to get a last-minute reservation here on our way home was so fortunate for us, and we’ll definitely be back! Usually this is a convenient stopping point for us when travelling between WA and CA, but now we are already talking about coming back to this very spot for a dedicated vacation here. The suite has everything you could need and more— huge bonus points for great WiFi, private hot tub, and bussing station and laundry baskets right outside the door. Easy check in. The property outside was so wonderful, we loved being greeted by free range turkeys when we got out of the car, and walking the property to see all the livestock and fun features of the place. Between that and the interior style, it really feels like the perfect authentic Northern CA getaway. Looking forward to being back soon!

What a wonderful place to stay!! For a short, or long while. Clean, comfortable, warm and inviting. Jonathan and Wes were super attentive and kind. Always available. I have recommended this place already, and will do so when needed!

Weekend Trip to Jubilee Railroad Wilderness Lodge

I loved my one night stay in Caboose #11! The caboose was clean and cozy, the hot tub was lovely in the rain, and dinner in the dining car was delicious. I had my dog with me and there were no problems with that, the property was dog-friendly as described (just had to pay a $25 pet fee when reserving through Hipcamp, not sure if that's the same if you book through their website directly). Everything was easy & nice! Would definitely stay here again.

I enjoyed this place very much! There's a river nearby the train tracks, the water is very cold but another river that feeds into it is pretty warm, it also has a cool swing. Hiking to the top of the Crags is awesome! At the top is an oasis of white stone/sand with beautiful green foliage. I would recommend going on the hike about two or three hours before the sun begins to set as that's about how long the hike takes (start 4 - 5 o'clock)

This looks great! Planning a memorial day weekend rafting trip on the Sacramento River, so this looks like a GREAT PLACE to camp out.

Awesome. They keep it well maintained, but you should get there earlier so you can have your pick of the nicer spots. Didn't realize that when we reserved our camp site we would get there, check in, then drive around to choose a site. We were late so by that time a lot of the good ones were filled up.

Kinda confusing, since Hipcamp lists the lower, first-come first-served part of the campground. Upper sites are reservable, but are rarely full. Some in the upper part are on rather steep ground with small parking pads, and tight corners. Could be a bit of a struggle for some bigger equipment or tents. You do get freeway noise, unfortunately. But it's still nice, and is one of the cheaper CA state parks for a campsite with shower. The road up to the viewpoint (and trailhead for some hikes) is also steep and narrow, and it has little room for vehicles going in opposite directions to pass, so be very careful. And don't try it with something huge.

The Upper Loop is the better option for tent camping, and we specifically recommend sites 63 & 64 as they don’t sit on an incline.

Get there early to scope out some better campsites -- the campground definitely tends to fill up once evening comes around.

If you’re in a rush, make sure to at least drive up to Vista Point and enjoy the incredible view.

Traffic noise from I-5 can sometimes be an issue, but the deafening, Jurassic power of the Crags themselves drowns out the more “modern” noises. Either way, bring some earplugs just in case. Avoid site 26 if you foresee this being an issue.
