Camping, Campgrounds & Campsites
at Shasta Lake, California
med - lrg
Public campground reservations
You can reserve a campsite or check availability at RECREATION.GOV
Note: It's probably easier to just call the toll free number instead of using the website.
Public campground reservations for Shasta Lake are made through Recreation.gov.
RECREATION.GOV
1-877-444-6777 (toll free)
IMPORTANT: When asking the Recreation.gov operator about available camping at Shasta Lake it's best to give a specific campground name.
If you don't have a specific campground in mind, or know any of the names, you can ask about available campgrounds in the "SHASTA-TRINITY" area. You must ask the Recreation.gov operator for "SHASTA-TRINITY" campgrounds because the words "Shasta Lake" and "Lake Shasta" aren't searchable in their database.
Map of "reservable" campgrounds at Shasta Lake - Recreation.gov
(Enter SHASTA-TRINITY NATIONAL FOREST to show Shasta Lake public campgrounds.)
NOTE: At last check of the Recreation.gov map above, "Bailey Cove" campground was shown on the wrong side of the lake. Unless there was a huge earthquake that I didn't feel, it should be located on the west side of Shasta Lake's McCloud arm.
Find Camping - Recreation.gov
NOTE: After you click the link above you will see a form.
Enter SHASTA-TRINITY as the "facility name" in the form. Be sure to include the hyphen "-" between the words. This will give you a list that includes "reservable" campgrounds at Shasta Lake
After you are shown a list of campgrounds, click on the campround's map link to make sure it's in a location that's suitable. The list may also show campgrounds located in areas other than Shasta Lake. It may be easier to just look at this map of "reservable" campgrounds at Shasta Lake.

Three popular campgrounds at Shasta Lake
Two popular "reservable" campgrounds at Shasta Lake are Antlers Campground and Lakeshore East Campground.
These two public campgrounds are located on the Sacramento River arm of Shasta Lake in the town of Lakehead, California. They're both very close to many services and easy to reach from Interstate 5 (i-5). Take i-5 exit #702.
Another popular "reservable" campground at Shasta Lake is Bailey Cove campground. This small campground is located just off i-5 near Holiday Harbor Resort (marina). Take i-5 exit #695.
NOTE: Shasta Lake's public campgrounds are not located on Wonderland Boulevard as may be suggested by address information on Recreation.gov pages. Wonderland Boulevard is the location of Shasta Recreation Company, the company that manages the campgrounds. The written driving directions given by recreation.gov for these campgrounds are correct however.
Public campground reservations for Shasta Lake are made through Recreation.gov.

Distance to the water from the public campgrounds
The following Adobe Acrobat/.PDF file shows the minimum distance from a campsite to the waters edge for various lake elevations and
drawdowns. The distance is computed by measuring the distance from the closest campsite in the campground to the
closest shoreline. In nearly all cases the actual distance one must travel will be farther.
How far to the water from each public campground? (291 KB, PDF file)
Note: To use the link above you need to know either the "elevation" or the "drawdown" of the lake. To find the "drawdown" of the lake, you simply subtract the current elevation reading from 1067'. This will tell you how far the lake
is from the top. To avoid the math you can click here for the current drawdown information.
(Actually, since you only need the elevation reading anyway, you can tell "drawdown" to take a hike. I'm really overthinking this thing. It's late.)
