Castle Crags State Park campground sits along the Sacramento River in northern California, just 6 miles south of Dunsmuir off Interstate 5 and approximately 14 miles south of Mount Shasta. The park is defined by dramatic 6,000-foot granite spires more than 170 million years old, creating a stunning backdrop for outdoor adventures in the Shasta Cascade region. The campground offers 76 developed sites, each equipped with a picnic table, food locker, and fire ring. Campers have access to flush toilets, hot showers, drinking water, and laundry facilities. The park features 28 miles of hiking and walking trails, from accessible quarter-mile routes to the challenging Crags Trail leading up to the base of the rock formations. Fishing is available at multiple points along the Sacramento River, and a pedestrian suspension bridge provides scenic river access. Vista Point delivers sweeping views of Castle Crags, Mount Shasta, and Grays Rocks. The campground is pet-friendly in designated areas and serves as a popular stop for Pacific Crest Trail thru-hikers. Reservations can be made through Reserve California. Whether seeking rugged alpine scenery, riverside relaxation, or trail exploration, this Dunsmuir-area campground is a premier northern California destination.
