This is a rustic campground with plenty of trees located in the Weaverville area at the end of East Weaver Road, on the banks of East Weaver Creek. The road is paved and the spurs are dirt.
Multiple Trail heads leading into the Trinity Alps Wilderness are within a short walk from this campground.
The East Weaver Campground offers 9 sites, picnic tables, fire rings and a vault toilet. Each campsite has a table and a stove/grill. Fuel, groceries, bait and restaurants can be found 1.5 miles away in Weaverville.
Nestled among the trees East Weaver Group Camp offers a great place to camp for avid hiking groups as it sits near several trail heads with access to the Trinity Alps Wilderness.
From Weaverville, take Hwy 3 north for 2 miles. Turn left on Road 228. Campground is 1.5 miles on the left.

So, I found this Campground on a "free camping site" app. It was very easy to find, GPS will take you directly there. They have bathrooms but no showers, fire pits, & picnic tables. There is a small rapid flowing stream behind the campground you can listen to as you fall asleep. It's about 5 miles from downtown Weaverville, CA, so if you need anything, town is that close. You can find a really nice grocery store there, a CVS, a couple restaurants, gas stations, & a sporting goods store that carries alot of camping ammenities. Campground does have drinking water in the summer.
We had our family reunion there. It was great we rented the whole campground. Which is wonderful, because we can get a bit loud sometimes.
We'll definitely be reserving it for next year.
Clean, open, safe feeling, restrooms were tidy. Felt welcoming and FYI there appears to be a public pool about a mile away from the campground that I would definitely check out if I had more time.
