About
Pigeon Point Campground occupies a scenic spot above the Wild and Scenic Trinity River, approximately 15 miles west of Weaverville on Highway 299. At 1,100 feet elevation, the campground serves as a popular base for river recreation, sitting at the put-in for the Pigeon Point to Big Flat rafting section featuring Class III rapids. The Trinity River offers fishing, swimming, floating, kayaking, and boating, though hand-carry boat access only is available at this location. The campground has individual sites available first-come-first-served for $12/night, plus a group site that accommodates up to 50 people and 10 vehicles for $75/night (reservations required via Recreation.gov). Pull-through parking is available for boat trailers. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. There is no potable water; campers must filter or treat water from nearby sources or bring their own supply. The Trinity River is subject to periodic flow changes from releases at Lewiston Dam. Current flow conditions can be obtained by calling (530) 246-7594. The Pigeon Point to Big Flat stretch is considered too dangerous for tubers and family canoeists; several commercial outfitters operate guided trips under Forest Service permits.
Directions
From the Big Bar Ranger Station, travel east on Highway 299 for 8 miles. The campground is on the south side of Highway 299. From Weaverville, travel west on Highway 299 for approximately 15 miles.
