RED FIR FLAT GROUP CAMPGROUND

Red Fir Flat Group Campground

**Description** : Situated on the lower slopes of Mt. Shasta at an elevation
of 5000 feet, this popular campground has 12 sites with tables and fire rings,
suitable for tents and small RV's. Vault toilets.** ** 7 day limit. $10 per
night. No reservations. Usually opens by Memorial Day weekend and closes near
the end of October. Conveniently located on Mt. Shasta and only a few minutes
from I-5, services and supplies. A miniature spring-fed seasonal creek flows
through the campground, and a hand operated pump provides well water.
_**Special note** : In 2009 a root disease was discovered in the campground
that affected all of the white fir trees, killing some and infecting others.
These hazardous trees were removed in early 2011 to allow the campground to be
reopened for use. A major effort by the Forest Service to clean up the debris
and replant non-affected native species in the campground occurred throughout
the spring of 2012. Although the area has been temporarily impacted, in time
nature will restore this popular campground to pristine conditions._
