The campground is a single loop and is moderately to thickly wooded with a mix of oak and pine trees that provide plenty of shade during the summer (80% + cover). The understory, which consists of manzanita, blackberries, poison oak, tree fern, wild grape and a variety of native grasses and forbs provide limited privacy between campsites. When the lake level is high, the bank is moderately sloped to provide access to the water. As the lake level drops, it exposes a steep drop off to the water, especially on the side of the campground nearest Gregory Beach. There is a boat ramp nearby at Antlers. Lake activities include fishing, swimming, motorized and non-motorized boating, and watersports.
Each site has a picnic table, and a fire ring.

Kind of hard to get to but great access to water with a lot of places to launch your boat.
This is the only campground for my family we come here every time the beauty is unreal a very sad how low the water was this year.
Group site has 17 spots, running water and flush toilets. All spaced out so you can get your own spot under the trees with lake view
I come here to run my dog. With the lake down there is a large open area. It's been real smokey due to the three fires that surround this area
Fantastic Shasta Trinity National Forest campground spaces are $10 per night disabled is $5 per night with the access pass. Lots of noise on the lake during the day you could hear Highway 5 in the background we've been here six days absolutely loving it. Some of the people as with all campsites in a little Rowdy let their dogs run but what can you do.
Garbage is always an issue at a campground without a camp host or a regular maintenance crew cigarette butts beer caps bottles we always clean our spot everything that was here when we got here. So is a good thing to leave no trace and make it look cleaner than when you arrived.
Would we come back and stay definitely.
