Warning: campsite ground (at least at my site) is hard packed gravel making driving in stakes very difficult to do.

There is so much to say about this beautiful place. It really is a hidden gem! Sites are nice and flat, and easy access to your vehicle in the site. Water spigots provide potable water, bear proof trash bins, and vault toilets all within easy and safe walking distance. Vault toilets are the cleanest I have ever encountered. Each site has a large picnic table, and fire ring. The site is well maintained by Brian the Camp Host, and a really great guy. He truly cares about one main goal, that everyone has a great time and stay! I was here to attend the Friends of Chappie Fall Crawl at the Shasta OHV park across the road, representing the California Four Wheel Drive Association. My girlfriend and I had such a great time, we will be back just to camp for ourselves and not have it be work related.

Had a nice time with Shasta Camp as my base site for a night. Good access to the ATV area, though we went to hike Chamise Peak which was about 20 minutes by car away. Site 13 had moderate shade, and a whiff of 5G signal across the river if you hold your phone high.

The website for this campground does not specify that is a gated entrance at the beginning of Shasta Dam, which closes at 10 PM. We reached quite late on the first day and could not enter the campground because the gates for the time we’re closed. We had to make alternate arrangement for our stay on that night.

Dam is beautiful and next to the lake to swim. Just make sure you get across before they close at 10. A couple pebbles but level and open. Nice area.

While it was hot, the campground was quiet. The Camp Host was friendly and kept eyes on the campers with out being intrusive. We were trailer camping so I didn't have to use the restroom. We were in site #14 right on the river. There is no river access but the view was wonderful
