Jones Valley Inlet Shoreline Campground

About this site

Jones Valley Inlet Shoreline Campground is a dispersed shoreline camping area located on the Pit River Arm of Shasta Lake within Shasta-Trinity National Forest. This is not a designated campground with individual sites, but rather an open dispersed camping area along the shoreline. The area provides access to Shasta Lake's 365 miles of shoreline, surrounded by steep mountains covered in manzanita and evergreens, with views of snow-capped Mount Shasta in the distance. The dispersed area operates first-come, first-served year-round with seasonal services. From March 1 through October 31, portable restrooms and trash receptacles are provided for a nightly fee ($10-17). During winter months (typically mid-September to mid-May), the area operates as pack-in, pack-out with no facilities or fees. Visitors must physically be at the area to purchase and claim a spot the same day they pay. A public boat ramp is located approximately 1-2 miles away at Jones Valley, and informal mooring is allowed when water levels are sufficient. Shasta Lake offers excellent fishing for trout, catfish, Chinook salmon, crappie, bluegill, white sturgeon, brown bullhead, and bass. All sites have a picnic table, campfire ring, and unpaved parking spur. Average maximum vehicle length is 16 feet.
