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.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
