Ellery Creek is awesome, besides the lame windy drive down. Launch at Hirz Bay and then anchor your boat close to shore. Some of the best Shasta water you will experience because it is blocked by cliff/mountains on both sides. If Ellery Creek is not available, I would go to Hirz Bay or Antlers for camping. Like Bryan said you go early in the year May - July and you will be much closer to the water from your camp site.
