Stoney Creek Group Campground
Closed — Closed for the season. Opens May 1 and operates through September 30. Reservations required and available through Recreation.gov.
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
Stoney Creek Group Campground sits on the banks of Stoney Creek along State Route 3 in the Trinity Unit of Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. This group campground is specifically designed for larger gatherings of up to 50 people and operates on a reservation-only basis through Recreation.gov. The site is managed by Shasta Recreation Company (recently purchased by Vista) and offers a scenic, creek-side setting with excellent recreational opportunities. The campground features flush restrooms, potable water from faucets, a group pedestal grill, fire ring, multiple picnic tables, and bear-resistant food lockers. While primarily oriented toward tent camping with no designated RV spurs, the paved parking area can accommodate 1-3 motor homes or trailers. The site is located directly across from the Stoney Creek Swim Area, providing convenient access to swimming and water recreation. Recreation opportunities abound in this beautiful area of the Trinity Alps region. Beyond swimming in Stoney Creek, visitors can access Trinity Lake for motorized and non-motorized boating, waterskiing, and fishing. The surrounding Shasta-Trinity National Forest offers numerous hiking trails and scenic vistas. The campground's location provides a balance of developed amenities and natural beauty, making it an ideal base for group camping adventures.
Directions
