About Minersville Campground

This campground, located 17 miles north of Weaverville, CA, off Highway 2, is situated on the Stuart Fork Arm of Trinity Lake. Minersville is one of the more popular campgrounds on Trinity Lake due to its easy access to the lake and scenic views. At 2,400 foot elevation, it is nestled in a stand of mixed conifers and deciduous trees. Trinity Lake is one of three Forest Service-managed lakes in the Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, offering excellent opportunities for houseboating, water skiing, tubing and wakeboarding.

What Guests Are Saying

Minersville Campground offers a nice camping experience, though some guests feel the $60 fee for a non-hookup site is steep, especially given the limited flat space for tents. Reviewers noted issues with overflowing trash and the need for more frequent restroom servicing. Despite these concerns, many appreciate the location and enjoy their time at the campground.

the campground is nice, but $60 for a camp spot with no hookups is pretty expensive. They called it a double space but that just meant there was enough room for 2 cars to park, not enough flat space for two large tents. Very deceiving and compared to the other sites, they should ALL be $30 a night.

We were at the Minnersville campsite from 6/26-7/3. The large dumpster, was completely full upon our arrival, and for th entire week we were there. The smaller trash cans by the restrooms were also stuffed to capacity. At the height of summer, before a major holiday, the trash should probably be removed every three days. The garbage was overflowing with garbage strewn around by birds and other wildlife. Also, the restrooms really need to be serviced daily. And, it would be helpful if prior to another campers arrival, trash and debris in the campground was collected: With increased rate for basic camping, it is too bad that basic service has to suffer to this degree.

Very nice campground. Feels somewhat remote. Upon returning from our backpacking trip, we were able to walk directly from camp, down to the lake (low, but not gone in 2023) and fall in the water, hiking clothes and all. The water felt great!

Campsite #1 isn't optimal because it is heavily illuminated by the bathroom's utility light. Not sure why that light is on, since the utility door is locked at night anyway.

Spot #6 has zero shade until around 7:30 PM. Trees around the space but the only shade option is underneath the picnic table. It's overgrown and has lots of poison oak. My assumption is that no one has used it in a long time which is why it's overgrown. We ended up leaving because the temps were in the high 90's this weekend. If you are here in the fall, it might be a good spot. Summer is a no-go for this spot.

Spot #5 has minimal shade but is mostly shady in the late afternoon to evening. There isn't a lot of flat ground for tents so bring a hard rake to make your own, that's what we did. The bathrooms are very clean and the maintenance man was extremely helpful. The lake is very, very low so getting to it from the camp spot is very tough. You have to go about 2 miles down the road to the marina or the boat ramp area. Do not camp here if you are after lakeside camping, it's not that! If you do, bring mosquito spray. They had a feast on us!

Restroom well kept and clean! Campsites spacious and well kept also. Be careful not to let kids or animals play to close to restrooms due to an abundant amount of poison oak growing near that area.

This Lake is not at all nice when it comes to lakeside relaxing. the water levels are EXTREMELY low and you will need to hike down about 200 yards to reach the water. This is a MUST have boat lake if you want to have any fun at all. Do not Recommend this Lake unless you have a boat!
