Located on the North Fork of Stuart Fork Creek, five miles west on County Road 112 and 18 miles from Weaverville, this campground has 10 units with a average max. trailer size allowed of 20'. There are picnic table, fire rings, vault toilets, drinking water, one corral, an unsurfaced road and parking lot and two hitching rails. Camp is a tent/equestrian campground and trailhead for one of the most popular trails to the Trinity Alps Wilderness. The campground stretches out along Stewart's Fork of Trinity River with some campsites at the water's edge. The campground is adjacent Stuart's Fork Railhead and horse corrals. The two campsites closest to the Railhead are walk-ins. The campground is thickly wooded with Douglas fir and mixed deciduous trees. The hotfoot Bridge Camp Siphon is located here; it brought water from 1898 through 1914 to the LaGrange Hydraulic Mine.
From Weaverville, take Hwy 3 north for 13 miles. Cross over the Stuart Fork Bridge. Turn left onto Trinity Alps Resort Road. Pass the resort. The next two miles is on a dirt road. The road ends at the campground.
Lovely little out of the way spot, gorgeous and well kept forest service campground
The start of the dirt road is a bit iffy, some had been spinning out trying to get up the first pot-holed area, wouldn't recommend doing it in a low car. Campground is amazing though, only 10 spots, no reservations, couple of walk in sites are lovely. Pit toilets and potable water available.
Beautiful little gem with only 10 campsites. A few walk-ins just a ways up from the parking lot if you want even more privacy. Great if you want to get away from big crowds and just enjoy a quiet place next to an awesome creek. Water hole nice and big with great fishing. Filled with trees so tons of shade throughout the day. Pit toilets, running water safe to drink, fire pits/grills and picnic tables at each site.
Potable water, vault toilets, and first come first serve sites. Road was gravel/dirt and driveable via Tesla. The rushing water sounds made for some very relaxing sleep. Great place to stay the night before backpacking the trail.
Nice little campground And the resort is close. Everything you need and a little extra. Everybody is super nice and the campground is campground is clean and fairly quiet. Great hiking nearby with the trailhead and a lot of people appear to use it. Not a lick of Cell service/Wi-Fi available so be also be prepared to drive to the Tanner campground which isn't too far, If you need to check your important emails and such. Great drinking water is available and the pit toilet aren't...Horrible but it's not a flush toilet. Looking forward to going back.
