BLM's Redding Field Office manages Junction City Campground, a drive-in site set above the Trinity River in Northern California. Sites sit close to the water, and the campground tends to run uncrowded. A glacier lake within hiking distance gives campers a secondary destination worth planning around. The campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet and provides drinking water, toilets, and firewood. Note the rough access road before arrival. Bears have been reported in the area. Campers researching camping near Junction City will find this one of the more river-accessible options in the corridor. The season runs mid-May through November 30, making fall a viable window for a visit.
Description
The campground is now closed for the season and will reopen in early May, weather permitting.
Camp on the edge of the Trinity River in one of 21 tent/trailer campsites. Popular for fishing and pleasure boating alike, this clear, cold section of the river is world famous for its fly fishing. Paddlers enjoy the narrow valley with Ponderosa Pine, Douglas fir, Oaks, and Madrone trees coating the walls of the canyons. If you would like more adrenaline rush, the waters below Pigeon Point rage at class III-V for white water enthusiasts. Those interested in a more relaxing experience can enjoy the abundant camping options in the area or head for the trail with your friends, horses, or dog. If you would like to stay at the river's edge, you can always swim, fish or do a little gold panning. The river can be accessed from many locations along this stretch of the Trinity River.
