Weaverville has no commercial campgrounds in town but several good public options nearby. If you’re camping with a large group, try the USFS’s all-year East Weaver Group Campground, a couple of miles north of the airport on East Weaver Creek Road ($110 per night; water, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits; 877-444-6777, recreation.gov). The Bureau of Land Management’s excellent Junction City Campground is 7 miles west of town on CA 299 ($10 per night; water, flush toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits; 534-224-2100, blm.gov). In the opposite direction on CA 299, 2.3 miles east of Douglas City, driving 4 miles on Steel Bridge Road (County Road 208) will get you to the BLM’s Steel Bridge Campground ($5 per night; vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits but no water; 534-224-2100, blm.gov).

Junction City, 8 miles west of Weaverville on CA 299, with fewer than 750 residents, can hardly be considered a true city. This tiny town at the confluence of Canyon Creek is the oldest settlement along the Trinity River and has the only full-fledged grocery store between Weaverville and the western Trinity Alps Trailheads. Numerous river resorts, RV parks, taverns, tackle shops, and rafting outfitters are strung out along the Trinity River downstream from Junction City, which is a noted salmon and steelhead fishery as well as river-rafting center.
