About
Steiner Flat Primitive Campground sits along a scenic stretch of the Trinity River in Northern California's Trinity County, approximately 2.5 miles west of Douglas City. The campground features 8 primitive sites suitable for tent camping or small trailers, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. As a primitive facility, there is no potable water available, so campers must bring their own supply. The Trinity River here is renowned for its world-class fly fishing in clear, cold water. The narrow valley is lined with Ponderosa Pine, Douglas fir, oaks, and Madrone trees. A nearby boat and kayak launch provides river access for paddlers seeking a mellow float, while more adventurous visitors can head downstream below Pigeon Point for Class III-V whitewater. The area also offers opportunities for swimming, gold panning, hiking, and horseback riding.
Directions
Follow State Highway 299 to Douglas City. Turn onto Steiner Flat Road and continue approximately 2.5 miles west to the campground turnoff. The campground is near the Trinity River.
