About

Greens Creek Boat-In Campground is a primitive, boat-access only facility located on the scenic McCloud Arm of Shasta Lake within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. As one of four boat-in campgrounds on the lake, it offers visitors a secluded camping experience away from developed facilities and road-accessible campgrounds. The remote location makes it ideal for those seeking tranquility and a true backcountry water-based camping experience. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets and bear boxes for food storage. Potable water is not available, so visitors must bring their own water or be prepared to treat or filter water from the lake. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out facility with no trash service, requiring campers to remove all waste. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire pit. Access difficulty varies depending on Shasta Lake water levels, which fluctuate seasonally and year to year. The nearest boat launch is Hirz Bay on the McCloud Arm. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system and no camping fees. It is open year-round, 24 hours a day, making it accessible whenever lake conditions and weather permit boating access.
