Alpine View Campground is located in the Trinity Unit of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area at an elevation of 2,400 feet. This facility is a great choice for children, the elderly and those with accessibility needs who require well-developed trails and campsites. Visitors enjoy a variety of recreational activities in a beautiful setting.
The area offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating and hiking around Trinity Lake. The campground is very popular with the boating public, as the Bowerman boat ramp is located a quarter-mile before the campground entrance.
Anglers can fish for catfish, as well as different varieties of trout, salmon and bass. Hikers can access several trails in the area, including the 0.3-mile Lake Trail.
This is a 53-unit family campground that offers several accessible campsites and three accessible restrooms with flush toilets. The campground features paved social areas, roads and spurs. The maximum vehicle length is 32 feet.
Each campsite is furnished with a picnic table and campfire ring. Some of the campsites have bear-proof food storage lockers. Drinking water is provided.
This scenic campground has three loops (A, B and C) with sites that wind through a grove of Douglas fir and cedar with an understory of ferns. Some sites in Loops A and B have a view of Trinity Lake.
Bears frequent the area, but a wide variety of wildlife may be seen in and around Trinity Lake.

Beautiful clean campsites, especially if you can get a spot close to the lake. Pretty easy to find with the help of Google Maps. Hammock lounging approved!
The restrooms are clean. The spot on the river is quiet because there is not a boat ramp in the is camp so if you want quiet float on the tube water and great shade in each camp also a great area to run and walk
Nice camping ground with tall trees. Facilities are OK, no electricity here, Bathrooms need attention. There is a lake next to the ground, we can go for a hike which is about 3 miles
Gorgeous campground. A friend and I met here and used it as base camp before backpacking Trinity Alps. Gorgeous, peaceful, tranquil, whimsical. My only issue was that not all the sites had bear boxes. Not sure why that was, but it wasn’t a huge deal for us. I imagine for people who brought more than just backpacking food and wanted to truly do some car camping, it would be tricky. Other than that, definitely recommend it.
Had an amazing time with my friends last year here. Not much water when we went, but they have water spouts. Bathrooms were a bit sketchy, so I'd recommend a good Toiletries kit. Pretty somewhat dispersed campsites, but we were the only ones there, so take that with a grain of salt. No bear locker, be aware.
