Shasta Lake Camping

Okay, but what happens if you see a shadow on the groundhog?? Did you know that the groundhog aka Woodchuck is properly called a marmot? Marmota monax is its sc...ientific name. Marmots, or members of the genus Marmota, are in the rodent family Sciuridae (squirrels). Marmots are basically very large ground squirrels. Those most often referred to as marmots tend to live in mountainous areas in the United States. The yellow-bellied marmot (Marmota flaviventris), also known as the rock chuck, can be found in the eastern-most part of Shasta and Siskiyou counties (Range map: https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=2406) The official word is Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning, meaning six more weeks of winter. Today marks the 135th #GroundhogDay ceremony in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

Let's welcome 2021 with a great wish of hope, health, and happiness, good weather, and reliable gear for the upcoming camping season. We know that it’s been a very strange and scary time for the world so we want to remind you of our cancellation policy, if you wish to cancel, you can cancel two weeks in advance to get a full refund for the campsite(excludes reservation fee). That means we can hope and plan for a better, healthier and happier summer, but if the world has othe...r plans you can cancel and be reimbursed for the site (not including the $10.00 reservation fee). Here’s to s’mores, adventuring outdoors, wet lines, exploring in the pines, monstrous catches, lighting matches, making wakes and enjoying the lakes! We want to make sure you don't miss out on the best spot at your favorite campground. Almost all of our campgrounds are available for reservations through the beginning of July and all group sites are available for reservations for the whole summer season. shastatrinityrecreation.com https://www.recreation.gov/search Ellery Creek Campfire September 2019

Shasta-Trinity National Forest temporarily closed Due to historic and dangerous fire conditions and firefighting resources that are stretched to the limit, all... Shasta-Trinity National Forest land, roads and trails are now closed per Regional Order 20-10. The USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region issued this order across the 18 national forests in the state to provide for public and firefighter safety. The order is currently in effect through September 14 and will be re-evaluated at that time. "These temporary closures are necessary to protect the public and to allow our limited firefighting staff to focus on the mission of safely suppressing existing fires, while also being available to respond to new starts, said Forest Supervisor Scott Russell. We sympathize with the people and businesses who are impacted by this temporary closure. It will be in place until September 15 or as soon as conditions improve and we are confident that National Forest visitors can recreate safely. Current fires burning on the Shasta-Trinity NF include the Red Salmon Complex, Hobo, Elkhorn and Hopkins Fires. The Elkhorn and Hopkins Fires have merged, and together with the Willow and Vinegar Fires further south will be managed under the August Complex. An evacuation order is in place for the community of Denny. An evacuation warning is in place for the communities of Forest Glen and Post Mountain. For current information about these fires including maps, closure areas and public fire information phone numbers please visit InciWeb at https://inciweb.nwcg.gov. Marinas and other resorts located on the forest and operating under special use permit from the Forest Service are closed. Customers with reservations will be notified by each individual business. Notifications to those who reserved Federal recreation sites through recreation.gov will be made as soon as possible and refunds will be processed. The Forest Service thanks our partners and the public for their cooperation and understanding of this monumental fire threat. It is critical that all forest visitors follow these important closures and restrictions for their own safety and the safety of our firefighters.
