Best camping ever 💙 The stars are amazing 🌟 The trails are magical. Joyful experience!
We went there in mid November so it was completely snowed over which was fine for us although if you are going for the scenic meadow walk go in spring or summer! If however you want to see it covered in snow you can park at bunny flat and walk up the road (as the road is closed from Nov. 1) to panther meadow - around 2 miles.
You don't need a reservation here. It's located at very high altitude and very close to the old ski bowl trailhead, so if you are planning to hike Mt Shasta early morning next day, this is a great place to camp at night. There are no restrooms, fire pits, or any other amenities. If you drive about 0.5 mile down hill, you will find restrooms near Bunny Flat Trailhead. You have to park your car on the common parking space which is pretty huge. If you haven't reserved any site, this is your camp-at place.
Free Campsite!! Also has a beautiful running & drinkable MT. stream just a few min walk past camp too! Outdoor port-a-potty for usage. Campsites are unique. Table & fire ring opt (if fire is permitted) for use. Lots of LOVE UP HERE!!! Super nice individuals meet along on my visit here. No issues with our tent on this day either. Would have loved to stay longer but my traveling friend had to go early. Was a pleasant say still, where most people looked after each other. Feel free to say hello to your neighbors if they are open to this Love! A Lil kindness goes a long way for us all! ~°•♡•°~ Made a fun friend for my Lil one too. Beautiful Souls Here!! :D ♡
I camped here, and it was awesome. Will definitely do it again.
