Relax with gorgeous vistas of Mount Lassen while the summer scent of Jeffrey pines encompasses you at The Village at Childs Meadow. Aside from boasting scenic surroundings, this campsite also offers an abundance of activities. Horseback ride at Highlands Ranch Resort to experience the thrill of moving in sync with an animal twice your size; book a horse corral stall at the campgrounds for your noble companion, and pitch horseshoes at the community pits.
Lassen Volcanic National Park also invites you to hike and play in NorCal’s unparalleled nature. Rent a mountain bike at the campground’s shop to explore the trails on two wheels. Or, head out to Lake Almanor to lounge in the sun and relax in the warm water; strap on your water skis or hop in a canoe to explore the far corners of the lake.

If the weather acts up, move to the Childs Meadow Inn’s renovated rooms for a good night's sleep.

When it comes to Shasta Lake camping, it doesn’t get much better than the Antlers Campground, where you can set up camp on a bluff above the Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake and satisfy your desire for solitude.
Recharge in nature and wake up surrounded by pine, oak, and manzanita trees. For an action-filled day, leave this tranquil world behind and head lakeside for a lovely boat ride or rejuvenating swim. The Lake Shasta campground also makes it possible to enjoy a game of basketball, ping-pong, or volleyball for competitive fun. Bask in the sun and savor the delicious pancake breakfast at the snack bar (located on the deck) before hitting the road and heading home.
