About
Mariners Roost Boat-In Campground sits on the East Fork Stuart Fork Arm of Trinity Lake within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Accessible only by boat, this primitive campground provides 7 campsites nestled along the shoreline with scenic views of Granite Peak. The remote location makes it an ideal destination for boaters seeking solitude on one of California's largest reservoirs. The campground is free to use and operates on a first-come, first-served basis year-round. Facilities are minimal, consisting of vault toilets and picnic tables. Campers must bring their own drinking water or treat/filter water from the lake. Activities include swimming, fishing, waterskiing, and wildlife viewing. To reach the campground by boat, launch from one of the public boat ramps on Trinity Lake. The nearest road access point is via Rush Creek Road and Trinity Dam Boulevard from Weaverville. Dogs are permitted on leashes of 6 feet or shorter.
