Within Trinity National Forest, Burnt Ranch Campground operates under US Forest Service management from May through October. The campground accommodates both drive-in and boat-in access, with RV sites limited to 25 feet maximum length. Sites sit in open terrain directly off Highway 299, providing convenient road access but exposing campers to traffic noise that increases significantly at night according to recent visitors.
The facility includes drinking water, restrooms with showers, and picnic tables at each site. Campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome throughout the grounds. One reviewer noted the internal camp road shows wear with paved sections knocked out in places and steep grades in others. The location works well as an overnight stop for travelers, though the highway proximity limits its appeal for extended stays seeking campsites around Trinity National Forest.
Description
This facility is a first-come, first-serve facility with 16 units. Can accomodate up to a 25 foot trailer. Open Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend.
