About

Slide Creek Campground is a small, primitive camping area nestled in the South Fork Trinity River region of Shasta-Trinity National Forest. With just 5 tent-only sites, this no-fee campground offers a quiet, intimate experience for those seeking solitude and a true backcountry feel without requiring extensive hiking. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. However, there is no potable water system, so campers must bring adequate water supplies or be prepared to filter and treat water from nearby natural sources. The remote location and minimal development make this an ideal spot for experienced campers comfortable with primitive conditions. Recreational opportunities include fishing in the nearby creek and river, swimming, non-motorized boating, and wildlife viewing. The surrounding forest provides a peaceful setting for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of Trinity County. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet within the developed campsite area.
