Setting
Located at 6,400 feet on the southern slope of Mt. Shasta, Red Fir Flat Group Campground is set within an old-growth Shasta red fir forest. Designed for single-group reservations, the site features picnic tables, an established fire ring, bear-proof trash containers, and a vault toilet. No drinking water is provided on site. Nearby trails head to Upper and Lower Panther Meadows, Gray Butte, and the timberline stone cabin, with views extending south toward the Trinity Alps and Castle Crags.
