About

Captains Point Boat-In Campground is a primitive, boat-access only facility situated on the west side of the main arm of Trinity Lake within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. This remote campground features just 3 campsites, providing an intimate and secluded camping experience for boaters seeking solitude on the lake's expansive waters. The campground offers basic amenities including a vault toilet, but campers should be prepared for primitive conditions. There is no piped water at the site, so visitors must bring their own water or treat and filter water from Trinity Lake. The facility operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservation system, and there are no fees required for camping. Due to its boat-in access requirement, this campground is ideal for experienced campers comfortable with self-sufficient outdoor recreation. Trinity Lake, when full, has 145 miles of shoreline and offers excellent opportunities for fishing, swimming, and exploring by boat. The remote nature of Captains Point makes it particularly appealing to those seeking to escape crowded campgrounds and enjoy the natural beauty of Northern California's Trinity County.
