Mmkkk for one don't plan on camping at Shasta on any major holiday not that it gets to crazy but if you want to have a real good time less is more ;-)
"Mariners point" camping pay per night usually 1-2 portapotties there is trees with nice shade. the ground will be verry slight slope untell the watter is down 40+ from the tree line. then there is fairly steep spots but a road to launch from. At about 150 ft from the tree line you get a bunch of more flat but at the cost of rideable water.. this is a good spot we ride here for the beginning of the year.
"Jones valley"
Lots of flat area, few trees, not much shade, back in a cove the watter cops will sometimes try and say the whole arm is a slow zone, more chances for annoying non skiers. The only plussess I see is that its closer to the bar and convenience store and the grochery/gas station..
There is a grochery store/ cheveron gas station within 30minutes 15miles. The road from mariners to jones valley it is real winding hence the 20 minutes for 7 miles or so. The rest of the road to the grochery store is not as bad. There is a convenice store right at the end of the road to mariners but don't buy anything but beer or tackle there! There is also a bar grill right here..
There is many other camp sites but in my opinion way to far from services to chose as a ride camp spot.. the marinas only sell 86 octane.. I can post some pictures with some diagrams of these locations when I get my computer back tomorrow..
this is mariners at the beginning of the year campground behind me..
This is mariners later in the year.. campground in front
