Antlers Campground
This campground sits on a bluff above the lake and although some sites are near the lakeshore, direct access to the water is very difficult.
The campground has a good amount of shade and being up on a bluff, is pretty flat all around. Each campsite has a paved parking spot, table, bear boxes, and a fire ring.
There is also a boat launch, toilets and drinking water available.
$20 Single / $35 Double - Typically open early March through late October.
Bailey Cove Campground
The Bailey Cove Campground is forested, providing a lot of shade and is one of the more popular campgrounds at Shasta Lake. The campground has a pretty cool trail nearby and offers picnic tables, drinking water, bear boxes, a fire ring and flush toilets.

Gregory Creek Campground (group campground)
This small group campground is pretty basic and offers limited privacy between sites. Because the water has been low at the lake, there is a steep drop to get to the lake which offers fishing, swimming, watersports and boating.
The grounds do offer picnic tables, toilets, fire rings and drinking water.
The campground is typically open May through September but the operating season is subject to change for bald eagle habitat protection.
