Camping
Thinking about getting back to nature with some fishing, hunting, photography, or other outdoor activity? If waking up to a beautiful view of Mt. Shasta, fresh air, and the sound of a roaring river is your idea of the perfect getaway, you should consider camping in the McCloud area. During the late spring, summer and early fall, the McCloud River is the most popular attraction in this area. Check out these options for roughing it.
RV RESORTS
For the camping experience with the convenience of being close to town amenities, McCloud RV Resort and Friday’s RV Retreat are both excellent options, offering the same spectacular scenery and quiet that are customary to our forest campsites.
FOREST SERVICE CAMPGROUNDS & NATIONAL FOREST
Most of the McCloud area Forest Service developed campgrounds and day use facilities are located along the McCloud River. The McCloud River parallels Highway 89 from its source near Dead Horse Summit to Fowlers Campground. Campgrounds are on a first come-first served basis and have a 14-day stay limit. Unless posted otherwise, you may camp anywhere within the National Forests (dispersed camping). A stay limit of 30 days is enforced for dispersed camping. There is no dispersed camping allowed in the McCloud River Loop. We’ve provided more information camping in the forest below, and you can find more on the Forest Service website.
