I started my journey up at Shasta lake, but was driven out by bees. I sought several other locations but decided Trinity was a worthwhile shot. I quickly made an online reservation, paid the holding fee, got there 4 hours early because I needed to just land instead of driving aimlessly, and the staff was so accommodating! They allowed me to stay in the parking lot while my site was being prepared, and they even let me in an hour and half earlier than check in! My spot was easy and accessible, close to bathrooms and showers, near the front store which had everything I needed, including coffee, a short walk to the lake, and a view of stars you don’t see very often. I came for solitude, but found comfort in neighbors who have a mutual love and respect for these great outdoors. I even shared a meal with my neighbor! This is an incredible place and very well maintained grounds. Staff are driving around quite literally into the night hours keeping things clean. Thanks Trinity KAO Holiday! I will be seeing you again!
Your mileage may vary. I was looking for a primitive campsite that was quiet and secluded. This fit the bill 100%. I hammock camp, using a stand when trees aren't available, and I am completely self contained. That being said, these sites are equipped with a pit toilet, fire rings, picnic tables, and a food locker to deter the bears. I put my food in the locker, and I'm very glad I did. About 3am something woke me up sniffing around my hammock. I was not able to see it without moving, but it bumped me and was large enough to make the hammock sway. So, be prepared there is wildlife out there.
This place has the tightest spots ever! Feel like a sardine. It’s pretty but would never spend $80 to smash in with other campers!
Stayed here for 4 days. Huge campsite with view of the lake, room for a few tents and a hammock. Fire pit. Can collect dead wood for the fire. Swimming, fishing and boating. Caught bass and catfish. Watched Osprey diving for fish in the early morn right from my campsite.Bald eagles, Herons and Hawks were also a joy to watch. Kids enjoyed swimming catching frogs, turtles and baby catfish with their hands. Poison oak is cleared from around the campsite but need to use care off trail. Nice short trail to Fir Cove. Very much enjoyed our time. Only downside was the heat.
This campground is very spacious with lots of trees for shade which was great since we I went when it was extremely hot. The owner was very nice and got us situated right away. I will definitely be coming back!
I can't rate on even being able to stay but simply based on a phone call. We had filled out their form on their website to try and book and they never responded back. We tried calling and the gentleman was very rude. He said long sites werent available which I get. But when we asked for a shorter site and a spot to park our car hauler he wouldnt even look. He had the adaucity to say well your a few weeks put Reservations change check back. I get if you dont have anything available but he didn't even look. This guy definitely doesnt want business.
The state park is beautiful but the campgrounds are just a little turn off from 36 and trucks speed by all night long. My spot was on the river so I was a little more sheltered but I wouldn't recommend booking the spots right off the road.
I wanted to love this place. Simple, pretty, quiet ( at least at check in) but 1 am, a group of partiers ruined the experience with loud kids, loud adults and loud dogs as if it was 1 pm and not 1 am and shouting at each other as if they were a football field away and not just a few feet. They camped no where near me and yet I could hear them, clear as day. They were left unchecked and it really ruined the stay.
Ok, has lots of room in November. $45 for a pull thru with electric and water
Well kept campground on Rock Creek. Clean, flushable bathrooms. 120+ campsites, multiple hosts. Several creekside sites reserved as first come first serve. 3 mile hike (lovely with only one short strenuous incline) to Rock Creek Lake. Definitely hike to see the collection of little lakes. Not too hot, cold at night along the creek. Be prepared to utilize bear box.
Nice place, kid friendly and for the most part very clean. I say that only because it was 4th of July weekend and there was a dirty bunch around us. But even with that the park crew was great and did the best to keep things up as much as they could. They do enforce quiet time which is great and they have a little store/burger spot which is very convenient next to the pool area. Very friendly and helpful staff. They’ll also deliver wood to your camp site.
The site is lovely and taken care of well. There are bathrooms, showers (coins required), and a laundry basin. The sites are small and pretty close to each other. The main issue is the noise. It’s unbelievable loud as the camp site is right next to the road that appears to be supporting a logging operation. Logging and construction vehicles pass within 10-20 feet of the roadside campsites at all hours. We paid for two nights but left after the first because no one got any sleep.
A little turned off my religious messages on the signage outside, instructions to dress ‘modestly’ and a long list of dog breeds not allowed. But was clean, quiet, and there was hot water. 30 amp and water hookups at the rv spot, no sewer hook up, but they did have a dump.
I really liked this rustic little campground. The owner was nice and the grounds were simple and naturally pretty. Unexpectedly, there was a little place to play a game of pool. It was very quiet, and nice and dark for sleeping. I went traipsing around and found my way to Shasta Lake. If you do the same, watch out for poison oak! Oh, yeah and I forgot to say - the showers weren't fancy but the water was hot, and there was a big sink for doing your dishes.
Redwoods…awesome, but solar panels can’t charge 🙃. Traffic noise from the road can be heard in every site. Showers were adequate and required $1/minute. You can reload your water tank here. Nice and cool/cold at night even in August. Cool in the shade all day.
After finding out our original planned spot was closed (Hells gate) we decided to keep on going and see what was available. We stumbled on this and boy I’m so happy. The lake was perfect! There were people there but it wasn’t over filled. The spots weren’t super level so this campground was better suited to tent/van/hammock camping. (Though we did see a pop up). My only precaution is the campground has LOTS of poison oak. All in all I loved it.
Stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. Campers were respectful of quiet hours and staff was mostly courteous. They charge for everything including an early check-in fee when we had to move sites due to reservation conflicts. Lots of children and some camp sites are on top of each other. The water was low so fishing was difficult to find. Great for families with young children and those hoping for entertainment for kids. Not great if you are looking for space and quiet.
Road noise but nice
Good one
Check in was a challenge, staff was grumpy, even with a reservation. They have a later check in (3pm) but will allow early check in for $25 (nickel & dime?!?). There was no cell service. Correction to Dyrt description, wireless is only available at the KOA store.
Super cool spot right by the lake , they have it all here even a pool ! The jungle gym for the kids was sweet and a cool tree house … the kids loved it but it was a lil pricey .
We stayed for one night as we were passing thru from Oregon to Central California.
Pros
Cons
Over all, I this campground would be a fun place for families, wanting to disconnect from technology for a weekend of tent camping.
No charge for showers, decent spot for solo female travelers, super cute tree house to rent for a good price, and other cabins. Keep in mind that anytime your within 30 min of Eureka, CA there will be sketchy people acting nefarious ways. That being said, don’t make friends with the locals, especially cause this spot doesn’t seem to have a limit on how many nights you can stay, so it seems the locals camp there to get away from their families. But drama will follow you...
Hidden out of the way little gem. The campground has only eight sites. The restrooms are clean and showers are available at a neighboring campground. Right now the lake is so low you really can’t get to it. But it’s great just to hang out in peace and quiet. Be sure to download directions, hiking trails info or anything else you might need. There is no cell service anywhere near the campground!
Beautiful spots down on Trinity lake ... the water is super low right now so muddy beaches but still beautiful area !
The spot I was in was small and nestled in a grove of aspen trees. The bear locker was well maintained and the fire ring was double walled. There were flush toilets with working lights and the tent pad was level.
Its a short drive to some great hikes, but the campground itself was too busy and too close to the highway to use as a good starting point.
Pretty basic ...can’t camp here just a cool spot to park with a little bit of river access and some park benches..
