Minersville Campground
Open — Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. Potable water available only in the upper section from Memorial Day weekend through October 31st. Winter rates apply during the off-season.
Hydrologic Outlook issued December 29 at 9:26PM PST by NWS Eureka CA
ESFEKA A series of atmospheric rivers will bring an increased risk for urban and small stream flooding late this week and into this weekend. The first round of rain will arrive Wednesday night into Thursday and provide generally light to moderate rainfall amounts. Locally heavy rain is expected in the King Range. This initial period of rain will set the stage for a more intense rainstorm expected to arrive Friday into Friday night. Current indications are for the heaviest rainfall to occur during the day on Friday into Friday night. The greatest risk for small stream flooding will occur during this time period and probably continue into Saturday after heavy rain has ended due to the lag in rainfall run-off. Road closures will be possible. At this point, the area of greatest concern is in southern Humboldt and northwest Mendocino counties. Small rivers, streams and creeks such as Elk river, Jacoby creek and Mattole river could exceed their banks and flood area roads. Southern Mendocino and Lake counties may also experience heavy rain and road flooding will be possible. Mainstem rivers will also likely rise sharply and will need to be monitored for possible flood stage exceedance. Be on the lookout for watches, advisories and warning as this next heavy rain event unfolds. Stay alert and remember to never attempt to drive through water covered roads. Water may be moving much faster than you think.
About
Minersville Campground is one of the more popular campgrounds on Trinity Lake, situated on the Stuart Fork Arm within the Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. At 2,400 feet elevation, the campground is nestled in a stand of mixed conifers and deciduous trees and offers scenic views of both Trinity Lake and the Trinity Alps. The campground is divided into two distinct sections. The upper section features well-developed campsites with paved, level parking aprons suitable for RVs and trailers. The lower section offers six walk-in tent sites (five single, one double) that provide a more primitive wilderness feel with greater privacy and direct access to the water's edge. Many sites throughout the campground offer views of Trinity Lake, and informal mooring of boats is possible off some campsites. The campground provides direct access to excellent recreation opportunities. The adjacent Minersville Boat Ramp makes launching watercraft convenient for fishing, waterskiing, tubing, and wakeboarding. Trinity Lake is known for excellent fishing, with abundant rainbow trout and common brown and brook trout. The 4-mile Trinity Lakeshore Trail connects to the campground, offering hiking opportunities with views of the Trinity Alps. Wildlife viewing is abundant in the area, and the location provides easy access to the scenic Trinity Heritage Scenic Byway.
