This campground, located 17 miles north of Weaverville, CA, off Highway 2, is situated on the Stuart Fork Arm of Trinity Lake. Minersville is one of the more popular campgrounds on Trinity Lake due to its easy access to the lake and scenic views. At 2,400 foot elevation, it is nestled in a stand of mixed conifers and deciduous trees. Trinity Lake is one of three Forest Service-managed lakes in the Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, offering excellent opportunities for houseboating, water skiing, tubing and wakeboarding.
The area offers excellent opportunities for fishing, kayaking, hiking and wildlife viewing. Directly adjacent to the campground is the Minersville Boat Ramp. Informal mooring of boats is possible off some of the campsites. Rainbow trout are abundant, and brown and brook trout are common. This is a good lake for a float tube and excellent fly fishing. The area offers wonderful wildlife viewing opportunities. Hikers can access the 4-mile Trinity Lakeshore Trail at nearby Clark Springs Campground.
Minersville Campground is noted for a "campground with a view." Many campsites are located on the bank of Trinity Lake with views of the Trinity Alps, noted for their scenic views and alpine environment. The Trinity Alps are situated within the Klamath Mountains, which lies between the Pacific Coast Ranges to the west and the Cascade Range farther to the east.

This tent-only campground is located in the northwest corner of Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, 19 miles west of Redding, California, and three and a half hours north of Sacramento. Crystal Creek flows alongside each campsite. The campground stays relatively cool due to the creek and to the shade given by a canopy of fir, maple and pine. Three nearby trails lead to lovely waterfalls. The cool, clear waters of Whiskeytown Lake provide endless water activities. The picturesque mountain setting and extensive forested backcountry offer ample opportunities for hiking and biking.
During the summer heat, swimming, kayaking, sailing, paddle boarding and water skiing are popular on the 3,200 acre lake. Year round, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, gold panning, fishing and picnicking attract visitors. Hunting is allowed in the appropriate season.
The heavy forest canopy and burbling year-round creek make Crystal Creek Primitive Campground an ideal location for a peaceful retreat. Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is located where the Klamath Mountains, Cascade and Coast Mountain Ranges, and the Sacramento Valley meet, creating a wide variety of wildlife and landscapes.
The Tower House Historic District is located within the recreation area less than five miles from Crystal Creek Primitive Campground. Learn about the California Gold Rush history of the area by strolling among the historic buildings, water ditches, and a former gold mine, or by panning for gold or attending an interpretive program at the site. Oak Bottom is located eight miles from the campground and features beaches, lakeside picnicking, and a full-service marina with boat rentals.

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.
RangerWe 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.

Amazing campground nestled amongst the heart of the Redwood Trees. Lots of shade throughout area but limited privacy due to proximity of sites and road noise. Bathhouse has water and basic shower amentities. Nice hiking trails to explore the Redwoods within walking distance of campground. Great location to explore the forest and access the rugged California coastline.
GuideWe 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.

Pretty basic ...can’t camp here just a cool spot to park with a little bit of river access and some park benches..
GuideNo where to be found ... don’t plan on going here ha !

Beautiful spots down on Trinity lake ... the water is super low right now so muddy beaches but still beautiful area !
GuideLet me start by saying that the area is beautiful. This place is very big also. We planned a trip for our daughters 6th birthday. Got 3 full hook up spots for us, friends and family. These spots aver VERY hard to back in to. The trees are leaning toward the center of the sights literally giving us a foot of room on each side to back in a 24 foot trailer. Boat ramp is very sketchy for a larger patio style boat, will not be doing that again. We brought our daughters quad with us ( little 110cc kids quad) as we were told rides to the store and boat ramp were ok. After about 5 mins of her being on it we were told no more quad riding that day because another group on the other side of the campground had been on them late the night before. Total crap. That was the main thing she was looking forward to that weekend. We will be looking for a place with more space between sites next time and is ATV friendly.

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 .

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).
ScoutJust 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!)
GuideHidden 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!

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.
LegendSome 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.
Guide
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 !
GuideNot to much here ,couple of sites and a big turnaround.There is a nice creek tho and a fish ladder !
GuideJust 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 !
Guide
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!

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!
GuideThis 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.
Traveler
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.
Guide
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

We go to this KOA every June or July for the last 10 years. It is a great place. Not your typical KOA as it is more like camping vs other KOA's we have stayed at. Lots of trees and shade. Some RV sites are larger than others and lots of seasonal sites. Close to lake and they have a dock. Beach is seasonal but can drive out on the mud, just don't get stuck. Rocky beach if water is low so bring your river shoes. Sites are full hook ups. Bathrooms are clean and they have made some improvements. Small pool but nice. Can get noisy on the weekends with dirt bikes etc driving around. Great for kids. Lot's to do. Very pretty area. Trinity Lake is not that busy during the week.
TravelerWe stayed here for 4 nights in a towable trailer. I highly recommend getting a spot near the tents and exit to the river road if you are towing a trailer. We were on the end of Raccoon Rd and it was fantastic. The tent sites looked great with plenty of space for you to set up. Several people even brought small trailers like RPods into the tent area and just didn't use hookups. There are plenty of dirt paths out to the lake both from the KOA and nearby. Many people brought ATVs to utilize these and it looked like a great time. We used out truck and mountain bikes to tootle around on them and had a great time. This place would be great if you tow a boat and just want to set up with tents in an RV site as well - we saw many people doing that. Kayaks were available to rent in set 2 hour timeslots, banana bikes available if you are into that. There are plenty of games like bocci and ladder ball. All in all we had a great time and would highly recommend it. Great place to use a base camp to hit nearby rivers, ponds, trailheads, or even the lake. 20 minutes away from the main marina on the south side of the lake where you can rent a boat for the day too!
GuideCheck 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.
