Dekkas Rock Group Campground

Perched on a peninsula overlooking the scenic McCloud Arm of Lake Shasta, Dekkas Rock Group Campground combines serene lakefront views with the convenience of group-oriented amenities that enhance its appeal for family gatherings, reunions, or group retreats. With its unique waterfront access, shaded areas under Ponderosa pines and oaks, and proximity to some of the best recreational activities in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, this campground sets itself apart as a prime destination for nature-focused group outings.

The campground accommodates up to 60 people and features eight large picnic tables, two pedestal grills, a family-sized barbecue grill, two campfire rings, and bear-proof food lockers. Drinking water and vault toilets are provided, making it suitable for extended stays. Its unpaved parking areas include extra space for boat trailers, a valuable asset given the campground’s close access to the Hirz Bay public boat ramp, just 2.4 miles away. Popular activities include boating, fishing on Lake Shasta (renowned for trout, bass, and Chinook salmon), and hiking the nearby Hirz Bay Trail. Wildlife viewing and seasonal swimming opportunities add to the allure.

Located approximately 12 miles from Interstate 5 via Gilman Road, the site offers easy access to compelling local attractions. Just a short drive away, you’ll find the Lake Shasta Caverns, offering daily tours, and Hirz Mountain Lookout, which boasts stunning panoramic views of Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak. The area also supports warm summers and cooler evenings, ideal for outdoor relaxation by the lake or around the campfire.
