Open sites with clean facilities make Hells Gate Campground a straightforward base camp in Trinity National Forest. The US Forest Service maintains this drive-in campground from May through November, with drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables at each site. RVs up to 16 feet can access the campground, though spring road conditions may require attention to tire slip on muddy surfaces.
Campers report quiet conditions and nearby hiking trails that connect to remnants of past forest service projects, including footbridges that close seasonally. The campground provides both paid and free site options, with camping near Trinity National Forest extending throughout the surrounding area. Firewood availability is limited, so bringing your own supply is recommended for evening campfires.
