Castle Crags State Park - California State Parks
Castle Crags State Park 20022 Castle Creek Road • Castella, CA 96017 • (530) 235-2684 Named for 6,000-foot, glacier-polished crags, Castle Crags State Park offers swimming and fishing in the Sacramento River, hiking in the back country, and a view of Mount Shasta. There are 76 developed campsites and six environmental campsites. The park features 28 miles of hiking trails, including a 2.7 mile access trail to Castle Crags Wilderness, part of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The Pacific Crest Trail also passes through the park. OCCUPANCY: Eight people are allowed per family campsite. VEHICLE PARKING: Campsites are designed to accommodate one or two vehicles. Additional vehicles must be parked near the ranger station (call for information on the extra vehicle charge). For parking purposes, trailers are considered vehicles. CHECK-OUT TIME is NOON. Please vacate your site by that time. PETS must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet and under your immediate control at all times. They are not permitted in buildings or on trails (except the campground trail). Pets must be confined to a vehicle or tent at night. FIRES AND FIREWOOD: Please be cautious when building fires — wildfire danger is especially high during the summer.
Fires are allowed only in established fire rings or camp stoves. Do not build ground fires outside the fire rings or leave campfires unattended. Do not gather firewood in the park — the nutrients must be allowed to recycle back into the ecosystem. You may purchase firewood at the entrance station. SPEED LIMIT: The maximum speed limit is 15 mph. When pedestrians, bicyclists and children are present, even 15 mph might be too fast. Use good judgement. QUIET HOURS are from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. To ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone, please do not disturb other campers. NOISE: Radios, voices and other soundproducing devices must not be audible beyond your immediate campsite, regardless of the time of day or night. Engine-driven generators or other devices are not to be operated between the hours of 8 p.m. and 10 a.m. GAMES: Horseshoes and similar games are not allowed in the campgrounds.
BEAR WARNING: Bears may come into the campground at any time of the day or night. Campers must lock all food in the bear-proof locker. Do not keep food in your tent or sleeping area, in exposed ice chests, or on storage shelves. Place all garbage in cans immediately — do not allow it to accumulate. Improper food storage could result in a citation with a maximum fine of $1,000 (Section 4323(b) California Code of Regulations). Discover the many states of California.TM
