Tannery

The sites at this campground are wonderful: large, with plenty of shade under tall pine trees. Clean facilities too.

The USFS has been neglecting all campgrounds including Tannery on the Shasta Trinity National Forest. The vegetation along the main road to campground choked down to a lane and a half and one lane in places. For the price you pay to camp all entry roads and campsites should be in tip top condition. I have been staying on Trinity Lake at various USFS campgrounds since the early 80's and seen them go from good to pathetic. Folks tell me it's the responsibility of the concessionaire to maintain the roads and campgrounds but I think that's an excuse. As a taxpayer I am disgusted how the USFS as the public servant is treating our ground.
The campground host turns a blind eye to illegal activity but is quick to attack me for having to large of a fire at 11pm with three pieces of wood so my kids can roast marshmallows and enjoy themselves.

I ended up with site #61 - which was epic. Do what you can to get that site - it has the best views and layout. Easy access to the water. I was also able to drive my truck down to the water (too low for the boat ramp) and launch my kayak. Great camp host. Great campground.

Beautiful campground! Very very very clean bathrooms. Pleasant and helpful host. This is now our favorite spot.

Amazing campsite C42 next to the lake. Great experience even if it was just for one night.

The campsites were large and far apart. The shade of the trees is perfect for the hot weather. You easily fit 3 large tents on each site. And the campground is quiet! The bathrooms were super clean. And the marina was about 5 mins away. The lake level was low but the marina staff was flexible and helpful. It was great campground over all!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Tannery Gulch is. We had a family group with 4 campsites. Two of us tent camped, you can easily fit 3 tents per site. The other two had a small RV and an 28ft trailer. We had a view of the lake. We also brought our boat which was the main reason for the trip. The water was amazing for wakesurfing. We were able to anchor the boat off shore. Be aware that the launches and few because of the low water levels but we had a launch 10 min away. I wouldn’t want to relaunch everyday. The weather was perfect. Unfortunately the fires in the area sent smoke our way but it wasn’t overwhelming. This is gonna be a regular trip for us each year from now on.

The best camp site

Quiet time was supposed to be 10 PM but children were playing loudly outside until 11:30 and young adults were partying very loudly until 1:30 AM.

The Camp Host - Hauva is hardworking and takes care of her campers. In all the years we have camped at Tannery we feel that Hauva is the best!
