About
Clark Springs Campground is a forested retreat 17 miles north of Weaverville along State Route 3 on the Stuart Fork Arm of Trinity Lake. The campground features 20 sites arranged in a single loop beneath cedar and deciduous trees, with four secluded walk-in tent sites positioned next to a babbling brook. Each site has a picnic table and steel fire ring, and most sites include bear-resistant food lockers. The campground is designed primarily for tent camping, though three spurs can accommodate smaller trailers. The terrain is described as rugged, making it less suitable for large RVs. The real draw is the adjacent Clark Springs Day Use Area with its swim beach and boat ramp, providing direct access to Trinity Lake for boating, waterskiing, swimming, and fishing. The Trinity Lake Shore Trail offers day hiking opportunities nearby. Clark Springs operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. The campground is managed by Shasta Recreation Company (now under Vista) and payment is made at an on-site digital fee machine accepting debit and credit cards.
Directions
From Weaverville, take Highway 3 north for 16 miles. Turn right on Clark Springs Road and continue for half a mile to the campground.
