About

Deadlun Campground offers a rustic camping experience at Iron Canyon Reservoir in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The 500-acre reservoir features 15 miles of forested shoreline at an elevation of 2,696 feet. The campground has 30 sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, spread throughout a forested setting near the water. This is a primitive, no-fee campground operating on a first-come first-served basis year-round. Vault toilets are available but there is no potable water; campers should bring their own supply or filter water from nearby sources. The maximum recommended RV length is 24 feet due to site constraints. The area is a hub for outdoor recreation. Powerboats, rowboats, canoes, sailboats, and inflatable boats are permitted on the reservoir, though speedboats and water-skiing are prohibited. A boat ramp is available at nearby Hawkins Landing, operated by PG&E. For off-highway vehicle enthusiasts, a network of primitive roads and jeep trails extends from the reservoir toward Lake McCloud and Shasta Lake, offering challenging routes suited for high-clearance and 4WD vehicles.

Directions

From I-5, take Highway 299 East 35 miles to Big Bend Road (County Road 7M01). On Big Bend Road, drive 17 miles to the town of Big Bend, then 5.5 miles to Iron Canyon Reservoir.
