About

Located along the shores of Trinity Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Clark Springs Campground offers 20 campsites designed primarily for tent camping, though three sites can accommodate trailers. The campground features a single loop through cedar and other deciduous trees, creating a forested camping experience at lake level. Four secluded walk-in tent sites are positioned next to a babbling brook, providing a more intimate camping experience. Most campsites include picnic tables, steel fire rings, and bear-resistant food lockers. The campground is directly adjacent to the Clark Springs boat ramp, swim beach, and picnic area, making it an excellent base for water recreation on Trinity Lake. The swim beach features a gradual slope ideal for families with children when water levels are within 40 feet of the high water line. The campground sits along the Trinity Heritage Scenic Byway and connects to the Trinity Lake Shore Trail for hikers. The boat ramp remains useable until the water reaches 46 feet drawdown and includes a courtesy dock. While the campground tends to be rugged, its proximity to swimming, boating, and fishing opportunities on Trinity Lake makes it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a lakeside camping experience.
