About this campground
Overview Mariners Point Campground is located where the Pit and Squaw arm of Shasta Lake come together and offers sites to both tent and RV campers. Visitors to this area can enjoy boating and fishing at the nearby Shasta Lake or hiking around the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Recreation The nearest public boat ramp is six miles away in Jones Valley. Nearby lakeside resorts offer boat rentals and fuel. Shasta Lake is popular for power and non-motorized boating, fishing and water skiing. Anglers can fish for trout, catfish, Chinook salmon, crappie, bluegill, white sturgeon, brown bullhead and bass. Facilities All campsites have picnic tables, grills, fire rings, and parking spurs. Portable toilets are provided. Natural Features Shasta-Trinity is the largest national forest in California with a diverse landscape encompassing five wilderness areas, hundreds of mountain lakes and 6,278 miles of streams and rivers. Lake Shasta sits at an elevation of 1,067 feet, with 365 miles of shoreline punctuated by steep mountains blanketed in manzanita and evergreens. A snow-capped Mount Shasta, the second-tallest mountain in the Cascade Range, looms in the distance.
