Alpine View Campground

Set against the tranquil backdrop of Trinity Lake and surrounded by towering Douglas fir and cedar groves, Alpine View Campground invites campers to reconnect with nature through its serene lakeside views, well-equipped campsites, and diverse recreational opportunities. With its elevation of 2,400 feet in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, this campground is perfect for water enthusiasts and hikers alike, offering close access to the Bowerman boat ramp and scenic trails.

The campground features 54 sites arranged in three loops, with Loops A and B offering occasional views of Trinity Lake. Each site provides concrete essentials like picnic tables, fire rings, and bear-proof food lockers, while shared amenities include both vault and flush toilets, non-potable water (which must be boiled), and trash collection. Paved roads and spurs make navigation easy, and many facilities are accessible to all visitors. Wildlife sightings add an element of natural wonder, but secure food storage is essential due to the presence of bears.

Located about eight miles from Trinity Center and a short drive from the Trinity Alps Wilderness, Alpine View Campground is an excellent choice for everything from relaxing lakeside retreats to active family getaways. Visitors can enjoy fishing for bass and trout, kayaking, swimming, or exploring nearby trails like the short Lake Trail. Its proximity to the Bowerman boat ramp, just a quarter mile away, makes it especially popular with boaters. This campground’s combination of quintessential natural beauty and convenient amenities makes it a memorable destination for any outdoor enthusiast.
