Dekkas Rock Campground

Dekkas Rock Campground provides scenic views of the mountainous shoreline from the McCloud Arm of Lake Shasta. This group campground offers sites adjacent to the lake and is open for reservations year-round. Shasta-Trinity is the largest national forest in California with a diverse landscape encompassing five wilderness areas, hundreds of mountain lakes and 6,278 miles of streams and rivers.  Lake Shasta sits at an elevation of 1,067 feet, with 365 miles of shoreline punctuated by steep mountains blanketed in manzanita and evergreens. A snow-capped Mount Shasta, the second-tallest mountain in the Cascade Range, looms in the distance. Hikers can access the trailhead for the 1-mile Hirz Bay Trail at the camp. This trail is for hikers only. The Hirz Bay public boat ramp is nearby and offers access for both motorized and non-motorized boats. Lake Shasta offers excellent fishing for trout, catfish, Chinook salmon, crappie, bluegill, white sturgeon, brown bullhead and bass. Water skiing is also a popular pastime.  Exit I-5 at Gilman Rd., exit 698, turn right and follow Gilman Road approximately 12 miles.
