Ah-Di-Na Campground- Shasta-Trinity National Forest

We planned to camp at Ah-Di-Na in late June 2008, hoping to get up and out of the smoke from the Whiskeytown fires that had Redding socked in. The campground is about 7 miles down a fairly rough dirt road, if I remember correctly. Not too bad, but I would hesitate to take, say, a Prius down there. The campsites seemed very used- not much ground vegetation. It is right on the McCloud River, and I would guess there is some good fishing here, as most campers seemed to be fisherfolk. It is a pretty spot, down in a little valley, but we felt a little closed-in there, ultimately deciding to leave and camp elsewhere. There were many fires burning, and it did not seem like a good place to be should we need to make a quick exit. There were some ruins of an old homestead to explore, so the kids enjoyed checking that out before we left. The Pacific Crest Trail runs right through this area. 

Here is a little history of the campground from the Shasta-Trinity National Forest website:
