Great stop for a night when on a road trip, not the prettiest campsite but the location minutes from the interstate can’t be beat. Some people complain about the highway noise but it didn’t bother us.
(8/15-8/18) Nice tucked away clean campground. Honestly the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen/smelled at a campsite in my life, props to the host staff. The day-use launch ramp nextdoor had been lifted a couple days before we got there so there was minimal public traffic and no noise but the nearby highway (I never noticed it much). We rented a boat at Holiday Harbor and preferred a smaller campground than theirs, and Bailey Cove delivered, less than half a mile from HH campground. Shasta Caverns was a dope way to spend a few hours. No ants, yellowjackets were easily distracted with a bottle trap, very few mosquitos. We'll definitely be back on a future trip up to Shasta Lake.
It's a beautiful easy hike. Nice picnic area. Dogs need leashed. We paid the fee to use .... but other cars didn't and the camp host didn't seem to care. 12$ for parking for a 3 mile hike 😕
This campground is prefect if you are needing a camp right off the I-5 very convenient. Clean and beautiful scenery on the road to the camp and beyond to the caverns . They only have 7 sites which is nice for the not many people angle
What a beautiful area! We only stopped at the day use area for a quick swim but it was quiet and calm. The bathrooms were disgusting... I'm glad I was staying overnight because of that.
