Ask an AI about this campsiteOpens Grok already loaded with this site. It reads the same records this page is built from, and links whatever it tells you.
Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this as a developed campground. Expect marked sites, a fee station or a reservation, and the usual campground rules. The dispersed-camping freedom of the surrounding forest does not apply inside it. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-24: the two agency sources disagree. Shasta-Trinity's page says $26 per night for a single site, $56 for a double, and $12 per night per additional vehicle; recreation.gov listing 10157359 -- the same campground, 0.001 mi from our pin -- posts $30 single and $60 double for the season in force today (all of 2026). Budget $30. First come, first served: the forest requires you to be physically present to claim a site.
