highlakes
willow lake
way up in concow is nice in the spring time, or it was before the fires.
shasta hot springs is cool im sure theres tons more but people wont just give away the best locations.

Oh okay - what about Concow lake? I haven't been out there in ages, but I know you used to be able to camp out there.... There's a campground across from Ishi Trail & the fire station. At least there used to be. I have no idea what it's called, or if it's still there after the fires. Sorry, I'm not much help.

ETA: I found it:
