Castle Lake Cg-F
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
This small primitive campground is nestled in a thick mixed conifer forest approximately ¿¿ mile below Castle Lake. There are 6 sites with tables, fire rings and vault toilets. Bring your own water. There is a 3-night limit and the campground is not recommended for large vehicles or trailers. Usually opens around the end of June depending on when the snow melts, and usually is closed by snow around the first of November. Visitors may walk or drive the short distance to the lake. Castle Lake is a pristine glacial cirque lake with granite cliffs and clear water, one of the most popular attractions in the Mt. Shasta area. Hiking, swimming, fishing, and flat-water kayaking are favorite activities here. There are a few hiking trails to explore including the short and easy Shoreline Trail on the west side of the lake and the trail up to Heart Lake overlooking Castle Lake.
