Our Story

A campsite that doesn't pretend to be anything it's not

Peltier Bridge Campground sits on the banks of the Sacramento River in Shasta County — a working campground built for people who came to the outdoors to get outside, not to check a luxury box.

Whether you're pulling in with a full-size RV after a day of fishing, setting up a tent beneath the oaks, or just passing through on your way somewhere wilder, we've got a patch of ground for you. No frills. No pretense. Just a solid place to rest, the river nearby, and the kind of silence you can't find in town.

What We Offer

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

We keep it simple: clean facilities, reliable access, and the kind of natural setting that makes amenities almost secondary.

Restrooms & Showers

Clean, maintained facilities with hot water for those long days on the water.

24/7 Access

Arrive when you arrive. No check-in desk, no restrictions — just pull in and settle.

Fire Rings

Gather 'round the fire. Rings provided at select sites for evening warmth and cooking.

Family Friendly

A relaxed environment where kids can explore and families can disconnect together.

The Area

Shasta County is your backyard

Peltier Bridge puts you within reach of some of Northern California's most iconic outdoor playgrounds. Lake Shasta is close enough for a morning paddle. The Sacramento River runs right past our doorstep — drift boat, kayak, or just bare feet.

From here, you're minutes from hiking trails, wildlife viewing, fishing spots, and the kind of stargazing that makes you forget what the sky looks like over a city.

  • Lake Shasta — boating, fishing, kayaking
  • Sacramento River — river access from camp
  • Hiking & Trails — nearby trailheads and wilderness
  • Wildlife — deer, birds, and river life
