About Campground
Preacher Meadow campground is located one mile south of Trinity Center off of Highway 3 and approximately 30 miles from Weaverville. This quiet and serene campground attracts hikers as it is near the popular Swift Creek trailhead and many persons stay there before and after their hikes. The campground has two large unnamed loops meandering through mature cedar, ponderosa pine and some deciduous trees. The middle story is comprised mostly of deciduous trees providing fair privacy between campsites. The understory is grass and pine needles. Some parking aprons are overgrown. State Route. 3 traffic noise can be heard in campground. While there are no grilles, each campsite has a Klamath Oven, stone fire ring, table, paved road and unsurfaced spurs and drinking water.

Google maps took us on dangerous forest service roads to the wrong location. Do not follow Google Maps! Instead, drive on Hwy 3 towards Trinity Center until you see the very obvious sign for the campground. Also, currently no water available at the campground. Otherwise, it was very nice and peaceful on a Thursday evening.
There is currently no water at Preacher Meadow, and no host. There is a 16$ nightly fee in a drop post. The upside is that there are few people, it's never crowded, and there is AMPLE firewood all over from cutting and thinning, no need to bring any firewood at all. Do your part and help them reduce the fuel load in the camp.
