About
Gregory Beach Dispersed Area is a primitive shoreline camping and day-use area on the Sacramento River Arm of Shasta Lake within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Unlike traditional campgrounds, this site has no designated campsites; instead, visitors choose their own spot along the shoreline. The area accommodates both overnight campers and day users, with approximately 20 dispersed camping areas and 20 day-use picnic spots. During the peak season from mid-May through mid-September, portable restrooms and trash service are provided. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring their own supply. Payment is handled via the Recreation.gov Scan & Pay app or an Iron Ranger fee station accepting cash or check. This is strictly first-come, first-serve; you must occupy your site the same day you pay. In the off-season from mid-September to mid-May, the area remains accessible but operates as pack-in/pack-out with no facilities or fees. A public boat ramp at Antlers is approximately 6 miles away, and informal boat mooring is allowed when water levels permit. Anglers will find excellent fishing opportunities for bass, trout, catfish, and Chinook salmon.
Directions
From I-5 northbound, take the Gilman Road exit approximately 21 miles north of Redding. Turn left at the stop sign from the ramp, then turn right onto Salt Creek Road/Gregory Creek Road. Follow for about 4 miles to the dispersed area entrance on the left side of the gate.
