ProviderAbout this campground
Upper Shake Campground stands as a silent sentinel in the wilderness, its gates temporarily closed to visitors. This beloved camping destination, which has welcomed generations of outdoor enthusiasts, awaits its next chapter while nature reclaims its quiet spaces.
Upper Shake Campground is listed as closed, and no specific campground types are detailed.
Historical SignificanceThese ancient grounds carry whispers of the past in every stone. Long before modern campers pitched their tents here, Native American communities called this place home, leaving their mark in the massive boulders that dot the landscape. Smooth, bowl-shaped depressions worn deep into the rock face tell the story of countless generations grinding acorns into meal. As one longtime visitor, Li Mowry Garland, fondly recalls: 'My Dad & I camped here many times in the late 1960's & 70's.' These memories layer upon centuries of human connection to this special place, where families have gathered around campfires and created their own chapters in the campground's continuing story.
