The best car-camping campgrounds close to the Trinity Alps are found in the Trinity Unit of Whiskeytown NRA around Trinity and Lewiston Lakes. Information sheets listing the campgrounds and their amenities are available at any ranger station, U.S. Forest Service (USFS) information station, or tourist information facility from Redding to Big Bar; you can also find more information at tinyurl.com/trinityunitcamping. At least 15 campgrounds are listed within the recreation area, but not all of them are open at all times. Most of these campgrounds charge a nightly fee.

Of course, you can do more than simply camp in the recreation area. Trinity Lake has picnicking and swimming sites scattered around its shore. A particularly fine swimming area with dressing rooms and picnic tables is immediately north of the Stuart Fork, above the lake where CA 3 crosses Stoney Creek. However, the water level is occasionally too low here to swim during dry years. Boaters can fish and water-ski on Trinity and Lewiston Lakes, and boat rentals are available at marinas.
