I started the day at Lava Beds Campground. I ended the day at Oak Bottom Marina.

Here is a short description of the day:

Shasta views, then I-5
Lava Beds and NWRs again, then amazing Shasta, then exhausting Grand Prix with the semis on curvy I-5

Here is a short description of the evening:

awesome off season spot, just out of town. I've got bars for the Giants game!

This place really is for tent camping. Parking spaces are in bunches, with little trails radiating away to the picnoic tables and tent spots. The E group provides the nicest van spots, parallel rather than head-in, so iI open the door onto grass. the only drawback is that there is come kind of hobo city across the road (probably really campground managers that have been here way too long), and they rustle around at all hours.
