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.

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 2026-08-23: the forest's own page gives two different rates for this campground. Its structured fee field says $24 per night for a single site and $104-$125 for a glamping site; the prose directly beneath it says "$30 per day per site" and "Glamping sites $135 per night". Both agree on $8 per night per extra vehicle. Budget $30 and expect $24. This is a Scan and Pay campground. Source: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/shasta-trinity/recreation/mary-smith-campground.
