Castle Crags State Park (530-235-2684, www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=454) offers a number of developed campsites and a half-dozen environmental sites. Only a handful of sites are suitable for RVs, which makes the park a great place for tent campers. On the downside, the park is situated in a steep canyon of the Sacramento River near I-5 and a Southern Pacific Railroad line—the nearly constant drone of traffic and the occasional rumblings of passing trains negate any sense of being away from it all. A general store with a small café and bar immediately outside the park adds to the civilized nature of the area. Along with the excellent hiking, visitors can fish in the nearby river.

Outside of Castle Crags State Park, no-fee primitive campsites circle Castle Lake and flank Castle Creek on the north side of Castle Crags Wilderness. For more information, contact Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

Resorts, Bed-and-Breakfasts, and Pack Stations

Ownership, locations, and policies of resorts and outfitters are subject to frequent change—contact the appropriate USFS headquarters for a list of currently permitted concessionaires. I highly recommend that you begin any search for such services with the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Association (530-365-7500, shastacascade.com). This recreation and tourism agency maintains an information center at 1699 CA 273 in Anderson, about 10 miles south of Redding in the Shasta Factory Outlets Mall.
