Nelson Point

Nelson Point Campground offers a serene escape along the Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake, providing campers with a rugged and peaceful setting. Situated at an elevation of 1,064 feet, this USFS-managed site is an ideal destination for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Northern California year-round. Its proximity to the water makes it a prime location for outdoor enthusiasts who want easy access to the lake's diverse recreational opportunities.

The campground provides essential facilities to keep your stay comfortable, including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings for evening gatherings. While the site is primitive, the surrounding terrain is perfect for those who enjoy a moderate camping experience. Anglers will find the area particularly appealing, as the lake is well-stocked with trout, bass, catfish, and Chinook salmon. A local boat ramp is located just six miles away at Antlers, providing convenient access for those looking to spend their days power boating, water skiing, or fishing.

This campground is well-suited for both tent campers and RV travelers who prefer a more rustic, off-the-grid experience. Because there are no hookups available, it is best for self-sufficient adventurers looking to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of Shasta Lake. Whether you are planning a weekend of fishing or a scenic getaway, Nelson Point serves as a fantastic basecamp for your next lakeside adventure.
