"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. "
"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."
$30 - $60 / night
"Positive: HUGE CAMPSITE to share with multiple friends. We had 4 tents on our site and we could have added 4 more."
"Each site did have a fire pit and picnic table though not all sites had near boxes. Mine did not so I kept all my stuff locked away in my car.
Lots of good options for hammock hanging. "
"This is disbursed lakeside camping with no facilities."
"- dispersed camping
- no amenities
- a beautiful open field with the woods in the back and Trinity lake in the front
- you could camp in the open field or in the woods"
"Beehive point offers camping right on the waters of Shasta Lake and has absolutely amazing views. We have been up there a few times and it has rarely been busy."
"Its so pretty here so I'd still reccomend trying to come here but look for a spot far away from others. Wish I stayed on the left side where there was less space and less ppl."
$23 - $60 / night
"The lake is walking distance from the sites and the sites are far enough apart for privacy. My 2 year old had a blast! Also lots of firewood around, and fire pits were very nice!"
"This is a great camp area, however when we went the Lake was really low. It was still very nice for fishing and kayaking."
"The beach is sectioned off for social distancing. The camp sites are in the tall pine trees just steps away from the lake. I come back every year! Swimming in the lake is great!"
"I have been to many lakes in northern California but nothing as perfect as this place. I accidentally booked a spot here at Siskiyou but meant to go to lake Shasta and boy was luck on my side!!!"
$30 - $40 / night
$22 - $60 / night
"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."
"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."
"Spent two nights waiting for Sierra Storm to pass before heading to Evolution Lake Valley. CA."

"Alpine View Campground on Trinity Lake, CA is centrally located to the small towns nearby (Coffee Creek, Trinity Center, Weaverville) as well as located a short drive to Bowerman Boat Ramp for boat launching"
TravelerI’m in camp 8. Perfect spot up on a bit of a hill and seemingly separated from the rest of the small campground. Everything, camp spots, bathroom and (potable) water pipes are well maintained. Only down side is the highway noise but it is not obnoxious. One bar of ATT but enough to do this review.
TravelerDouglas City Campground, a BLM area, is one of the nicest public campgrounds I’ve seen. The paved road and pads throughout the park couldn’t be more than 2-years old. The restrooms are new and nice. The shower is nice. It’s like the park had a complete makeover last year or the year before. Impressive. The pads are (mostly) level side-to-side, and easily adjustable front to back. They fit all sizes of trailers and RVs; a 40’+ pulled in this afternoon. My site, and a few others, back right up to the Trinity River. Seriously, not more than 50’ from the back of my trailer. All the sites have sun/partial to complete shade. The closest town is Weaverville, about 10-miles north. There’s water, but no hookups and no dump station. (Dump stations are scarce in this area, it seems.) No internet, spotty cell service, oddly, cell service only during daylight hous. The river is accessible from any site, some small rapids in spots, slow water in others, with occasionally deeper pools here and there. Beautiful site to see, beautiful sound to hear camping, especially when dozing off to sleep. This campground is tucked down from the road and into a fairly narrow canyon. The trees are mostly oak, madrona, fir and pine, with the occasional mountain ash. Lots of bushes (don’t know name of bushes too well), and poison oak, Himalayan blackberry, grasses, etc., relegated to the mostly sunny spots. They have bear safes (metal boxes with doors having bear-proof levers/latches) to store food. Haven’t seen any nor have I seen signs of bear. Lots of critters though: deer, lizards, flies, MOSQITOS, butterflies. I tried fishing over a couple of days, and gold panning over a couple of days, didn't have luck with either, no worries though, the site and campground made up for it. The camp host, Russ, was absolute pleasure to meet and speak with (he's a public drinking water guy like me!
TravelerWe stayed one night here for a break while driving north. As someone else mentioned the turn off is a little past the coordinates given, but the road is very obvious on the right side. The first few spots seemed small/tight, but we found a more spacious one a little down with a built up fire ring. As far as I could tell we were the only ones around on a Friday night.
GuideEasy in and out. 20$ for the night. Babbling water to sleep to. Host is super friendly.
ScoutOopsies. Did NOT know this was walk in only campground. We camp out of our 4Runner and ended up having to buy a tent and haul everything into our site. They provide a wheelbarrow for hauling your stuff but it was pretty rough we missed that key point in our planning. We ended up staying for the lake floating and views on our way to Trinity Alps.
ScoutDrove over to Deerlick Springs from Red Bluff and the gravel/dirt road from the pavement is pretty nice but I wouldn’t take a trailer in there. The campground is overgrown with weeds/grass and I think the store is a house now. There was one camper in the northeastern part but it looks like he lives there. The toilets need some work, appears they haven’t been pumped since last year. Very disappointing! My grandparents used to go there and get the “water” and take baths in the water. As a kid I used to walk to the store for candy and there was always Bingo to play. I also remember feeding the large tame bucks in the “courtyard”.
TravelerReally easy trail was about a mile past the coordinates on google map but it’s a very obvious dirt road. Stayed at the 5th site in which is spacious and has a few paths for small hikes.
GuideThere are pull offs along the road that you could do a quick overnight
TravelerWe just spent two nights here.
The park is quiet and the people are friendly. There are good river views and we even saw a deer.
It’s a little pricey but not a bad option.
