Lovely little spot in a quiet neighborhood. I booked last minute after I decided not to stay at a different site that made me uncomfortable. She put flowers out for me and checked in on me when I arrived to make sure I felt safe there. There is a creek out back and blackberry bushes that she said I could pick from. Great spot near Eureka and Arcata. Will definitely be back if I’m in the area again.

Beautiful location in a fun complex. We had a great time on our second visit. They had a wonderful outdoor movie night that our kids loved. Spot 24 wasn't the most level but we made it work, hookups all worked great. We will be back next time we are in the area!

Bridge Camp Campground
Quite spot even on Memorial Day weekend. Spots are pretty small and not all are level, better for tents or vans. Popular trailhead just past the campground.

Rush Creek Campground
The road to the campground would have been good for an adventure motorcycle with off-road tires, but not my street bike. It had just rained and the steep, dirt and loose gravel road was slick and muddy in spots. I made it to a day use site clearing and was able to turn around safely. The road continued, but was very uneven and rutted. Unsure what the campsites looked like as I did not continue further than halfway. Good luck, campers!

Every once in a while you need to live it up and glamp! Mary Smith is a wonderful campground and Lewiston Lake by far has one of the best views from this campground. There is a marina not far away to rent a boat. WE throughly enjoyed an unplugged week!

Hirz Bay Campground
Awesome camp site. Have been going there for the last 3 years. Love the water. Fire pits, tables, bathrooms are close depending what campsite you get. I don’t think there are any showers.

Extremely weird use of Hipcamp comments, but, question: On the wall inside the lookout, there's a framed photo of some flying vultures with quote written on it. It's sort of charmingly weird and janky, has the feel of an inside joke, and I meant to take a picture of it during my stay but I forgot (distracted by amazing views, presumably). If anybody happens to read this comment before going to the lookout and can send me a photo of this thing on the wall, I'd be super grateful! You could reach me via Instagram— @ passthatlatas.

We stayed in a yurt at Lakeshore East and would definitely return. Reserve online or by phone. The campground is mostly small tent spots but they had two yurts: site 20 has a twin/full bed bunk and a futon, and site 22 has a queen bed. Fire rings, and flush toilets in good condition. You can overlook the lake a few yards behind the campsite. Be aware that this campsite is across the street from train tracks and the freight train rumbles by several times day and night, and you’ll hear the freeway if you listen. However between trains I thought it was pretty peaceful. There is a small grocery store, laundromat, and local pub nearby. .

Nice and remote, 2-3 camp spots, watch out for rattle snakes. Fishing use to be great back in the day. Nice swimming hole.

Wonderful Campground worth the drive in- no low clearance vehicles. 12$ pay station and corals for horses. There are approximately 7 different trailheads from this road which extends deep into the wilderness, ideal for horses lots of water. Note this is a pack it out campground- So plan to camp after you hike as bears are also known to break into cars with trash here, I took some other backpackers trash out with me since there were leaving for 4 nights to the lake 9mile hike. LEAVE NO TRACE!

Have camped here hundreds of times since the late 80's. This camp does NOT have half the stuff this page claims it does. It does have toilets and water. It does have hiking and fishing. You can NOT fish with bait here. It has to be artificials only, so basically lures and flies. There is also a slot limit. Best not to expect to include trout caught from the river as part of your meal plan.
Fly-fishing works well here if you have some skills at it. There's no boating, paddling, OHV, bike riding or horseback riding. No whitewater rafting, no cave, no hot springs, and beaches are primarily rocks. Gorgeous area though with good hiking. Trails can be a bit iffy though so take care.

We had a great time at Mary Smith Campground. We stayed in glamping site #3 and really liked it (though site #2 was our favorite). Some feedback on the campground:
- The glamping site bed is super comfortable. We fell asleep instantly and got woken up next day by the morning sun.
- The glamping sites are set up well, have enough space, each come with a fire pit, 2 plastic chairs, 2 wooden chairs, a full table + benches and a LED lantern.
- The bathrooms at are clean, flush toilets. The ranger is re-stocking toilet paper daily. Big plus!
- There are no showers at the campground. Good news is that you can simply take a swim in the lake :)

For all of you that know me ;; I have branch out to KOA;; this is in the Trinity Alps;;; just 70 mile from Redding up Hwy 299 then turn up north out of WeaverVille Calif. up Hwy 3. ;; This in one of many beautiful spots on trinity Lake ;; if you havn`t stay at a KOA you are in for a treat;; This park is only open about 4 to 5 month out of the year but it is worth the drive to stop in and start your camping Adventure;;; KOAs go all out for each and every camper for the best camping adventure you will ever get;; Clean Cabins, fishing, hiking, playground heated pool, or swim in the lake, kayaking, much more. Stop at a KOA you will not be sorry.

Trinity Lake is gorgeous and was completely worth our five hour drive. The lake was warmish in June and there are some mountain biking/hiking trails nearby. Be prepared for all sorts of weather when visiting as in started to rain on us one day and on another we had clear skies and the sun. When we camped we didn’t see our campground host and there was only two other campsites taken; you will be left alone here. Also make sure you pack everything you need because there aren’t any nearby stores unless you drive up to Eureka or don’t mind spending a lot of many at a small gas station further north.

My favorite place to camp. I grew up here every summer. Use to b so awesome with bingo, dances, and deer feed. Not the hopping place it once was but the new owners are nice and are putting their hearts into making it great. So beautiful and peaceful.

I really like Ackerman Campground because it is primitive and quiet. If you're looking for a clubhouse and bar, go somewhere else. This is nearly boondocking, except there are sites and tables and fire rings.

My husband and I had a WONDERFUL time here. Not only was the whole team super knowledgeable and friendly, their motivation is catching! We enjoyed helping restore campgrounds and cleaning the forest for future campers while being able to take in all the scenic beauty. We cant wait to go back to rest in the mineral springs and see the chickens!

Make sure you get there early to get a spot next to the water. We went in February and it was great to have the campsite pretty empty. I feel like in summer it won't be as nice because it will probably be crowded with motor boats.

Pets ARE allowed, but not recommended due to the large number of rattlesnakes and bears. There are fire rings, but fires are often prohibited anyway. Check when you get your fire permit.
The campsites are within a hundred yards of the river, and there are pit toilets but no drinking water. Pack out your trash.
The road in is a long, washed out dirt road, so don't try to drive this in anything less than an SUV or something with sturdy suspension.

Probably the most beautiful spot I've ever slept. You get a private view of Mt. Shasta to the west and Lassen to the south, with cool geomorphological features and lava fields speckled in front.
There are two single beds with mattresses inside. We brought sheets and sleeping bags, then added a sleeping pad on the ground. Lots of space for tucking and storing things so it doesn't get too cluttered. There's a wood-burning stove inside the lookout, but it was so warm we didn't need it.
The bathroom is clean and stocked with TP. No showers or potable water. There were a ton of bugs while we were there, so don't forget the bug spray.
We went on a 10-mile out-and-back run to Medicine Campground on Medicine Lake, which has awesome swimming!

Lake Shasta is beautiful.The weather was perfect about 86 in the day and not very cold at night. We were a bit close to out neighboring campers. But it was fine. I do really strongly recommend to bring bug spray!!!!.Theres a lot of mosquitos mostly at night. All the sites have a fire pit, and theres a trash can nearby. We were only here for 2 nights one whole day and spend a lot of our day at the lake. We rented a ski boat and jet ski on the lake,I do recommend reserving one, also theres a couple of convenience stores on the lake and a restaurant cafe on Holiday Harbor which is down the road of Bailey cove. if you rent a boat and feel adventurous find little backbone creek, go upstream, theres a beautiful natural waterslide.West of the lake
