The campground is situated in an old growth forest of Shasta red fir. The forest provides plenty of shade and has open sunny spots as well. There is no view of the upper mountain from this location; however, views to the west and south include the Trinity Alps, Mount Eddy, and Castle Crags.
The area offers hiking trails, mountain bike trails, and climbing routes to the summit of Mt. Shasta. Mt. Shasta City is 10 miles away and provides full services including grocery stores and restaurants.
From Interstate 5, take exit number 738. Head east through the town of Mt. Shasta on Lake Street. Lake Street becomes the Everitt Memorial Highway as it ascends the mountain. At about milepost 9, look for the campground entrance sign on the left.
