Best Glamping near Helena, CA

Drive in and group camp spots with some sites right off the lake (though some spots had rocky beaches). Pretty views of the lake! Bathrooms, trash, and yurts available.

We stayed 2 nights in late October and were the only campers beside the host. There are 2 pull thru sites (10 & 12), we stayed in 10 in our 40' coach with tow. Flush toilets in 2 different buildings, no soap or hot water at the sinks, however. All sites have a nice picnic table and fire pit. Lots of water spigots throughout the campground but they don't have threads to allow a hose to hookup. There are also a few decent size garbage bins that are bear proof. Maybe it's the time of the year or lack of campers but the host wasn't ever seen. Lots of sites had litter here & there and the fire pits contained the previous camper's trash. Garbage bins were nearly full. The trees over the main road need trimming, lots of branches scratching the motorhome roof unnecessarily. Lake Shasta was really low so we didn't attempt to scramble down to the water. $25/night without discounts for a basic site. Yurts are more. 50% discount for golden or access National pass.

No campground !

This site was nice. Along the water with a little area for fishing or playing for the kids. The site had a restroom and trashcans. Lots of shade. Only drawback is it's next to 299.

Some people enjoy Camping in the winter months. Less people and always a spot open. You think a State park would be open. Nowhere to rest or sleep for the night when you traveled all night to visit and camp.

Beautiful spots down on Trinity lake ... the water is super low right now so muddy beaches but still beautiful area !

Nice, small campground near the edge of Trinity Lake. Approximately 8 campsites can be reserved and 8 are available on a first come, first serve basis. There are no showers available, but there are showers at the nearby Bushytail campground up the road. Site 1 is the only site with electric hookups. The nearby lakeshore is quite muddy (depending upon water level), but provides great fishing and boating opportunities. A nice trail runs along the campground. There is no wifi or cellular coverage. Booking the site was a little confusing because the website noted "dry camping" - we did not know what to expect based on this description. However, there IS running drinking water and bathrooms with flush toilets and sinks on-site. Advise picking up firewood before arrival. There is no firewood available for purchase on-site. However, you are able to gather available wood. There is also a small store which sells firewood 10-15 minutes away  (Pinewood Cove).

Just a quick update to P.S.'s excellent review below as regards cell service.  Since last night when we setup in site #1, we have maintained 3 bars of Verizon service.  So, either a new tower, or perhaps just a different provider.  :)

(Not a lot of water in the lake right now though!)

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!

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 .

This is a absolute beautiful hidden gem in Trinity County located just five or so miles outside of high and palm there is a two campsite campground with bathroom and the most breathtaking views you could ever imagine with the south for Trinity River running right through it plenty of hiking plenty of fishing and plenty of beautiful scenery

Just a couple of sites right off of Wildwood road . Nice creek and there is a fish ladder just down the way . In the heart of grow land so don’t wander to far !

Not to much here ,couple of sites and a big turnaround.There is a nice creek tho and a fish ladder !

Just a couple sites and some trash cans , this wildwood area is super nice there are lots of caves and rock formations. Natural bridge is 5 miles or so up the road to the left.I definitely have to go there !

This rustic campsite is just a few miles off of Highway 36 located off of Rattlesnake Road near Trinity Pines.There’s no power no running water they do have bathrooms and a creek runs through the campsite it’s a very beautiful place with lush green forest all around!

This is a super sweet secluded spot right off Highway 36.Can you take Rattlesnake Road and go up just a little bit and then drop off to the right and that takes you right to the campground.It’s secluded with beautiful green forest all around and there’s a bunch of campsites no power no water but great hunting and trails.

This is a great little spot never too many people here nice and quiet lots of forest around it good for hiking and just good scenery all the way around there was a burn scar from a fire a couple years back but still beautiful nonetheless!

Nice little campground right next to a pretty river.  When I stayed I was the only one at the campground.  The sites are near the road but it seemed to have light usage and I never heard cars in the night.  

No running water (unless you filter from the river) and no trash services, just a pit toilet.

This campground is a great place to stay before heading into the Trinity Alps.  A 20 minute drive on a dirt road leads to the China Gultch Trailhead, a popular trail leading to Grizzly Lake.

I would definitely recommend this site to anyone headed into the Alps.

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.

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.
