Captains Point Boat-in Campground

About

Captains Point Boat-in Campground is a small, primitive camping area tucked along the western shore of Trinity Lake's main arm within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. With only 3 campsites, this free campground provides a secluded escape for boaters seeking solitude on one of Northern California's largest reservoirs. The campground is accessible only by boat, making it ideal for those with watercraft who want to camp away from the busier developed campgrounds around Trinity Lake. Amenities are minimal but functional: a vault toilet serves the area, and picnic tables are provided. Campers must bring their own drinking water as no potable water is available on site. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a 6-foot or shorter leash; pack animals are prohibited. Trinity Lake offers excellent opportunities for motorized and non-motorized boating, waterskiing, swimming, and fishing. The surrounding landscape features views of Bonanza King Mountain and the rugged terrain of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area.

Directions
