From The Campground
Castle Lake Campground is a small primitive campground located in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, nestled in a thick mixed conifer forest approximately ¼ mile below Castle Lake. The campground has 6 sites with tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. Visitors must bring their own water. The campground is not recommended for large vehicles or trailers. The campground usually opens around the end of May, depending on when the snow melts, and usually closes by snow around the first of November. 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.
