Ellery Creek

Ellery Creek offers a beautiful, terraced setting along the McCloud Arm of Shasta Lake, providing stunning water views from many of its sites. This federal campground is a premier destination for water enthusiasts, as the landscape allows for informal boat mooring directly along the shore when water levels are sufficient. Its unique layout ensures that even those in the upper tiers can enjoy the serene atmosphere of the surrounding forest.

The campground is well-equipped for a comfortable outdoor stay, featuring essential amenities such as vault toilets, showers, picnic tables, and fire rings. Visitors can take advantage of on-site fishing access and nearby hiking trails, making it an excellent base camp for exploring the natural beauty of the Shasta region. While the public boat ramp at Hirz Bay is just a short drive away, the convenience of the site itself makes it a favorite for those who enjoy spending their days on the water.

With its accessible terrain, Ellery Creek is a beginner-friendly location that welcomes both tent campers and RV travelers. Whether you are looking to spend your weekend fishing, hiking, or simply relaxing by the lake, this year-round site provides a peaceful retreat in the heart of California.
