About This Location

Upper Shake Campground is a remote, primitive USFS site in California. Currently closed to the public, it offers a rugged escape for experienced outdoor enthusiasts.

Upper Shake Campground is a primitive, federally managed site located in the scenic landscapes of California. As a USFS-managed area, it offers a true off-the-grid experience for those looking to disconnect from the bustle of modern life. While the campground is currently closed, its location remains a point of interest for those familiar with the rugged, undeveloped terrain of the region.

Because this is a primitive site, there are no established amenities or utility hookups available. The setting is best suited for self-sufficient tent or car campers who are prepared to pack in everything they need and pack out all waste. The environment is ideal for experienced outdoor travelers who enjoy a moderate level of difficulty and prefer solitude over developed, full-service park environments.

Visitors should be aware that the site does not provide standard campground facilities, making it a destination for those who prioritize raw nature and backcountry exploration. Please check with the local Forest Service office for the most current status and access regulations before planning a visit to this area.
