About

Jackass Springs Campground sits on the quieter east side of Trinity Lake, offering a remote camping experience within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. This small, 10-site campground is ideal for campers seeking solitude away from the more developed western shore facilities. The campground accommodates tents and trailers up to 32 feet in length. As a primitive campground, amenities are limited to vault toilets and picnic tables. There is no potable water on site, so campers must bring an adequate supply or treat water from nearby sources. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees and no reservations. Leashed dogs are welcome. Recreation opportunities include motorized and non-motorized boating, swimming, and fishing on Trinity Lake. The remote location requires a lengthy drive on forest roads, but rewards visitors with a peaceful lakeside setting away from crowds.
