Nelson Point Campground

Nelson Point Campground offers lakeside camping along the Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake with well-equipped sites featuring picnic tables, fire rings, tent pads, bear boxes, and paved parking spurs that accommodate RVs and trailers up to 30 feet.

The nearest public boat ramp is located 6 miles away at Antlers, with nearby resorts offering boat rentals and fuel for water sports enthusiasts.

Note that the campground operates seasonally (typically May 15-September 15) and has no potable water on-site, so visitors must bring their own water supply.
