Gregory Creek Group Campground

The campground is a single loop, moderately to thickly wooded with a mix of oak and pine trees that provide plenty of shade during the summer (80% + cover). The understory of manzanita, blackberries, poison oak, tree fern, wild grape and a variety of native grasses and forbs provides limited privacy between campsites. When the lake level is high, the bank is moderately sloped to provide access to the water; as the level drops, it exposes a steep drop off to the water, especially on the side of the campground nearest Gregory Beach. Shasta Lake provides a variety of water sports, such as power boating, non-motorized boating and water skiing, along with fishing and swimming. A public boat ramp is provided near the campground at Antlers. Anglers can fish for trout, catfish, Chinook salmon, crappie, bluegill, white sturgeon, brown bullhead and bass. Each site has a picnic table, fire rings, grills and tent pads. Sites can accommodate both tents and RVs, however there are no electric/water hookups or dump stations. There are flush toilets at this campground but no showers. Drinking water is provided. The Shasta-Trinity is the largest national forest in California with a diverse landscape, encompassing five wilderness areas, hundreds of mountain lakes and 6,278 miles of streams and rivers. Lake Shasta sits at an elevation of 1,067 feet and has 365 miles of shoreline punctuated by steep mountains blanketed in manzanita and evergreens. Snow-capped Mount Shasta, the second-tallest mountain in the Cascade Range, looms in the distance. Tours are available at the nearby Lake Shasta Caverns. Antlers is located within the town of Lakehead, which offers restaurants and shopping.
