Private Tent Camping: under the stars. Park at your campsite! Community areas, swimming holes, creek running through ALL campsites, shared lodge & rustic accommodations. No fee for children or dogs~ Follow for updates on IG or X @ResortTrinity Trinity Outpost Wilderness is a private campground that is committed to the land-sharing ethos of Hipcamp preserving ecology and defending habitat for wildlife and pollinators. The mineral springs and trails are open to the public during the daytime. We also host with WWOOF, we have many cultural exchange volunteers helping us bring life back to this historic land building an organic farm and sustainable community. Campground is yours to book but is also surrounded by National Forest Land which belongs to everyone. We expect zero exceptions to the leave no trace standards we have put forward for our private land share. Fall asleep stargazing under a dark sky, surrounded by trees, water and wildlife. Wake up to birds chirping then a 10 min hike to visit the Cold mineral springs bubbling out of the mountainside, attracting many types of wildlife along with people seeking out the healing properties of the sulfur scented spring water. Sacred healing mineral spring "Deadshot" named by the native peoples for its ability to cure all ailments with 'one shot'. Nipisum or 'health water' was later bottled by the California Medicinal Springs Co. after the land was homesteaded in 1886. This historic retreat rests at the foot of lower Chanchelulla 'black rock' Mountain. Bordering a Wilderness Area this land is pristine and wild inhabited by many animals and incredible bio-diversity such as Pileated Woodpeckers, Golden Eagle, Bald Eagle, Blackhawk, Goshawk, Great Horned Owl, Flying Squirrel, Pacific King Snake, Salamanders and Protected Spawning Rainbow Trout. 100+ acres with private hiking trails along the stream for easy trekking, and summit trails (climbing up to almost 6,000 ft.) to the peak. Our aim is to restore the land from the last 100 years of habitation using innovation to renovate the campground and baths for the next 100 years. With your help we hope to revitalize the community of Trinity County, as well as educate and generate support for WILDERNESS, public forest lands and the agencies that manage them.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Trinity Wilderness Outpost on Labor Day weekend and had a great time. The campsites were spacious and beautiful. The hosts were super helpful and friendly. It was nice having flushing toilets, a small sink area to do dishes, and potable water. We did this trip by ourselves, but would totally come back with a bigger group after seeing the size of the campsites. The drive wasn't bad at all, and totally worth it. We love the early check in and check out, which made us feel relaxed about our timing and not on a rigid schedule.

Cody & Kerry were amazing hosts. We drank fresh mountain spring water each day courtesy of the taps on the campgrounds. The creeks provided seemingly endless opportunities to explore. I'll miss falling asleep under the stars listening to the sounds of the stream next to our tent. I'll be back!

Definitely a hidden gem! Quite a long drive on the dirt road to get to the location. Checked in at the Deerlick Springs Store and then was escorted further into the campground to reach our reserved spot. We had first pick of about 6-7 spots because we arrived before anyone else. We chose the very end spot next to the swimming hole, which our dogs loved. End of Aug, the water was low, but we still enjoyed every moment. Potable water and restrooms were very close, and the campground was very quiet despite the holiday weekend because the spots were so spread out. We want to return in June next year when the creek is higher. It was a beautiful place and the hosts were amazing!

It was an amazing experience in touch with nature mineral springs. The creek beds surrounding you are so peaceful to wake up to and the stars absolutely beautiful…. It seemed sketchy at first because it’s truly up in the forest and the drive is long but totally worth it: take note make sure you have everything you need and want there are no stores or gas stations near. We didn’t see anything but dear….no animals at night to worry about. It’s definitely a place you want to stay a week or so at just to take it all in….. We definitely are going back! New favorite spot thanks Carrie you are awesome!!!!!

It’s a bit of a trek to get to, but well worth it. It’s absolutely gorgeous. A creek runs past all camp sites that I’m aware of. We took our niece and nephews camping for their first time; they had a blast. The owners are very kind and caring. They even picked up smores ingredients for us upon request during their shopping trip. Very above and beyond. There is running water and pretty nice bathroom facilities. First time I’ve seen flushing toilets in the middle of the forest. Pretty impressive. There’s also a cool old lodge that the kids liked exploring. The small creek had a pond-like area where I could stand in the water, and a small school of fish around the size of my pinky came to investigate me. They came right up to my feet and would bump into me. There had to have been around 20 of them. Pretty neat to stand in the water and just watch them explore around you. There is no cell phone signal for any carrier that I know of. There is WiFi, but only near the general store, which is by the campground entrance. So you have to be near the store to use it. Honestly, kind of nice to have a break from the phone. Overall, it was a really awesome spot. The kids were asking if we could specifically come back to this campground soon. I think that’s the biggest stamp of approval I know of.

I am so thankful I found this place to kick off our camping week. I have camped off the beaten path before and this was the best of both worlds, privacy and amazing surroundings but also flushing toilets and ice in the store! My kids kept talking about when we come back we have to bring the dogs. Easy hiking, wonderful creek, and nice hosts!!

My family and I took a trip to Trinity Outpost for some tent camping. We stayed in the Togerlilly campground and it did not disappoint. The grounds had plenty of shade and access to the restrooms via a small foot bridge. Most of the campsites run along the creek. We were able to go to sleep to the sounds of water flowing. It was great to disconnect, however the small shop had wifi which was important for some of my family members who had loved ones to check in with abroad. All in all this was a beautiful place. Next time we'll have to to have a longer stay here.

This place is out of this world. The people running it have created such a wonderful environment to spend time with loved ones or get that much needed break from the rat race. So peaceful. I can’t even begin to explain how much my family and I enjoyed our stay. A lot to explore and so much history. I’m in love. It’s unlike anyplace I’ve ever had the opportunity to stay at. You can hang around and chill or go off in a million different directions and explore. . . I’m blown away. Can’t wait to go back. The dogs and kids also had a blast, was sad to leave but happy to know we will for sure be coming back very soon. Solid 10 out of 10. La la la love ittttt!

Love love love this hidden gem! 100% worth the trip out. I will say that we considered driving our regular day use vehicle and glad that we switched to our jeep instead. You definitely want a high clearance vehicle for this trip. The campsites are absolutely breathtaking we stayed at geh salamander right on the creek near restrooms wash stations and firewood. This is a phenomenal family spot as well as just a get away for a couple or a Lone Ranger. The stars at night are breathtaking. The restrooms are clean as can be and the privacy was absolutely wonderful. Camp host was absolutely phenomenal! We will be back several times.

We had so much fun and can’t wait to go back for longer! There are swimming holes and hikes and views and mineral springs- third highest concentrate in the US if I’m remembering right. It’s just phenomenal. My daughter is 2.5 and I could see us hanging out for about a week. Just bring enough food and drinks (no need to bring water - it’s plentiful and so fresh - bring extra containers to bring back if you can). You’re way out there. Out there. They have fresh eggs - which was a great fresh protein to add to a beautifully nature packed day. Also have s’mores stuff and extra jackets if you get cold. And ice. And WIFI! I’m excited also for their cabins to open. I can’t say enough about how much we liked our stay. We got turned around twice and added an hour plus to our drive. Follow the directions and reset you mileage for each direction. I turned around needlessly and should have kept going only .25 miles. So annoying. But kind of a life lesson too. Ok. Have fun!!

This was our first time using Hipcamp and we’re so glad we chose this spot! The man who welcomed us (didn’t catch his name sorry!) was so chill and kind, even gave us some free bug spray. We especially appreciated that they allow (friendly) dogs off leash- this is the main reason we chose it vs. others in the area, not realizing just how amazing it would be! Our pup made friends with the neighboring dogs and they had so much fun running around. Also just appreciate the community vibes and their mission of restoring the place and making nature accessible. Very grateful to them for sharing with us! Like they say, it is hard to find and there is no service (though they have free wifi at the store once you make it) so make sure you read their instructions WELL, but it’s worth the challenge of getting there! We would definitely be back :)

We enjoyed sharing space with turtles, deer and other wildlife. The mineral baths are a fascinating historic relic. Hosts were very kind and helpful, the store is very convenient. Highly recommend for unplugging and relaxing in the woods!

Beautiful place to slow down
Wilderness Campground 2Adults +
Trinity Wilderness Outpost is a special place. We really loved it. It’s a bit of a trek to get there on the dirt road but absolutely worth it. We had a site with access to a nice part of the creek with a hole deep enough to dip in the cold and refreshing water. The place has a positive vibe. There’s a really old bathhouse type of building by the cold mineral spring, with concrete pools if you want to soak in. There’s also a trail of you want to go for a hike. The hosts are very nice and friendly, with great insight on the history of the land and Trinity county. They sells freshly grown eggs at the mini store, and have free popsicles for the kiddos.

The land was so gorgeous and spacious! Surrounded by national forest in a ravine, there's a lovely stream running through the campsite and you can wade down it for (at least!) a mile! Bathrooms were well kept a long with the camp sink. Not too many bugs for July, either! Perfect place to roam with friendly dogs and escape July fireworks. No cell phone signal to interrupt, either! Folks were friendly and the general store was provisioned with ice. Dirt/gravel road getting in takes a while - gas up, and make sure you have everything you need! Also holy cow the salvaged Nissan Leaf turned camp transport was my favorite ❤️❤️

Restorative Time on Brown’s Creek
24 ft travel trailer ·
Wilderness Campground 2Adults +
This is a jewel! The campsites are spacious, spread out along beautiful, clear, chilly Brown’s Creek. Each spot provided a charcoal grill and a fire bucket. There are hikes, both along the spring-fed creeks and to old mining sites. The camp is an old mining area, with gold seekers and the followers. There is a Forest Service Camp! Deer Lick Springs, at the end of the road, but not built on the banks of the creek. It is 10.5 miles north of Highway 36, at the end of a narrow dirt road. We pulled our 24’ trailer and were so happy we didn’t meet anyone coming our direction. In places, the only alternative would be to back up to the nearest wide spot — something I dreaded. Once there, you’re there. Red Bluff is 60 miles east. For quiet and solitude, this can’t be beat. The owners are dedicated to creating a sustainable space, with an organic community, hoping to generate ecotourism for Trinity County.
