Red Fir Flat Group Campground

How does a serene forest retreat designed specifically for group camping sound to you? Red Fir Flat Group Campground, perched at 6,400 feet on the southern slope of Mount Shasta, offers a secluded and spacious environment set amidst an old-growth forest of Shasta red fir trees. This setting is perfect for groups seeking privacy, unspoiled natural beauty, and direct access to outdoor adventures.

The campground caters exclusively to group camping, accommodating up to 30 people with picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and bear-proof trash containers. While no drinking water, electricity, or sewer facilities are available, the simplicity of the amenities encourages a more immersive outdoor experience. Make sure to pack in your own drinking water and supplies, as nearby Mt. Shasta City, just a 10-mile drive away, offers dining, grocery stores, and other services. Firewood collection is permitted, and campfires are allowed with a California Campfire Permit, offering a cozy focal point for evening gatherings with family or friends.

The location provides easy access to some of the region’s most remarkable attractions, including nearby hiking trails leading to iconic spots like Panther Meadows, Gray Butte, and South Gate Meadows. Those seeking more strenuous adventures will appreciate proximity to Mount Shasta’s summit routes and breathtaking views of the Trinity Alps, Mount Eddy, and Castle Crags. With its tranquil atmosphere, ample space, and proximity to Mt. Shasta’s vibrant outdoor scene, Red Fir Flat is an ideal hub for group getaways, retreats, and nature-focused vacations.
