Riverside Campground at Castle Crags State Park sits along the Sacramento River in the heart of Northern California's Shasta Cascade region, just 6 miles south of Dunsmuir and 14 miles south of Mount Shasta. The park is defined by its striking 6,000-foot granite spires — ancient formations over 170 million years old — providing a dramatic backdrop for a memorable outdoor stay. The campground offers 76 developed sites with picnic tables, fire rings, food lockers, flush toilets, showers, and drinking water. Guests can enjoy water hookups, firewood, and grills, making it well-equipped for a comfortable RV or tent camping experience. Pet-friendly camping is available in the campground areas. Anglers will appreciate direct access to Sacramento River fishing, while hikers can explore 28 miles of trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging summit routes. The iconic Crags Trail leads to Castle Dome with sweeping views of Mount Shasta and the surrounding wilderness. The Pacific Crest Trail also passes through the park, making this a popular stop for long-distance trekkers. A pedestrian suspension bridge crosses the Sacramento River, adding to the park's scenic appeal. Reservations can be made through Reserve California.
