Experienced climbers can scale the peak. In winter time, the trails at the base of the mountain welcome cross country skiers.

Conveniently located off of Highway 3, Trinity River Campground is a favorite overnight stopover for travelers.

Ready to get on river time? Head out on the scenic Highway 299 along the Trinity River to Pigeon Point Campground. Campsites are set up close to a big sandy beach. There’s fishing swimming, and nearby rafting.
To get to some off-the-grid camping bliss head to Ripstein Campground adjacent to the Trinity Alps Wilderness and its nearby trailheads. Off highway 299, the road will be narrow and windy, the trees will be emerald and mossy, and the camping will lull you to sleep with the sound of rushing water from Canyon Creek. Just tell Bigfoot we said hello.
Come experience the power of the Trinity, the South Fork Trinity River that is, at Big Slide Campground. Tent-only campsites ON THE BEACH. Swim in some pools, float down the river, and watch them eagles soar. These are not the type of activities one regrets.
Scott Mountain Campground is just off the Pacific Crest Trail, near the summit of Scott Mountain, a 5,554-foot mountain gap-pass. There’s tent, RV, and horse camping sites available. Sites can accommodate trailers up to 15 feet long, but be aware that there’s no piped water to the campground.
Settle in to Scotts Flat Campground and explore the South Fork Trinity River's National Recreation Trail. The area boasts some of the best swimming holes, fishing, and hiking to be had. Time to break in your hiking boots, swipe the dust off your gear, grab the marshmallows, and fill a portable cooler full of cold ones. Its camp’n time!
Big Flat Campground offers campsites on a wide expanse of river bar to enjoy the Trinity River. The campground is just off Highway 299 making it easy to access nearby whitewater rafting and hiking trails. After a dip in the baptismal waters of the Trinity and the smell of the bbq, you’ll be pleased with your choice.
Schlepp your portable bar over to Big Bar, and bathe in the waters of the Trinity River with a cold one in your hand. Big Bar Campground offers plenty of spacious campsites and guaranteed summer sunshine. We’ll toast to that!
