Had a great time in Trinity lake! Campground was quiet and very clean! One big mouth drunk hoodlum was sent out of campground immediately, HOORAH! Less idiots from Redding out there because they cannot drive that far out. We found a beautiful waterfall and hiked all day! We found wild Raspberries on a trail and had a great time all weekend! We will definitely come back again and again! Sure beats the noise and chaos of Shasta and Whiskeytown lakes hands down!

This is a nice reservoir with super clean and clear water. Just not a lot of access to the lake. I'd guess maybe 35% accessible by land. If you got a boat you have tons to explore! Dont forget to go see the old barn that's still standing!

It broke my heart to see the water down 40 or 50 feet. It is such a pristine area with clear water. I hope we can reverse global warming.

Many of your lakes in Northern California are within the Shata Trinity National Forest. Many wonders and beauty to be see and explored. Hike a short distance or for days, fishing, boating, photos, stories to write and tell. Friendly people and amazing place in all of our State and National Parks.

I would have given five stars if campfires were allowed. I get that the fire danger is currently at extreme level, but it's so mocking to camp in a nice site with a great looking fire pit and not even get to use it! I expected to be able to have a fire, so our meals were campfire based, and I couldn't even prepare any of them. At least we were only there one night. But, as you can see, I still gave four stars despite the campfire annoyance. Why? Everything else about this campground is perfect! We went the Saturday night after Labor Day, so there weren't many other campers. It seems like there wouldn't normally be many people there anyway since Trinity Lake is way out of the way (an hour and a half from I-5). Anyway, we love the quiet and solitude, but I know it's not necessarily a good thing for our parks that not many people are camping in them! Our site was in Loop B, and thus a very short walk right to the lake where we did a fair bit of swimming. The water was nice and warm (for a lake) and even our baby loved it! The sites themselves were spacious and spaced apart from each other a fair bit. There wouldn't have been much privacy if the campground had been more populated though. There were a lot of flies, but hey, that's camping by a lake, right?! I would definitely return if campfires were allowed. Seriously though, what's camping without a campfire??
