About
US Forest Service campground. This campground has 5 sites and can accommodate trailers up 24'. There are picnic tables and vault toilets. This campground is first come first served and pack-it-in pack-it-out. Located east of Shasta Lake, these remote campsites offer the perfect spot to relax. Forested and shady, this is a perfect home base for your OHV adventures! Be aware, Fenders Ferry is a rough, unimproved dirt road. There is no lake access from this facility. This campground is very popular in the fall during hunting season.
