Nice big site. Lake is a great swimming hole.

The campground host was not very friendly. I pulled up and she said I suppose you have questions. I said a matter of fact I do I would like to buy some campfire wood, the response I received was oh we dont have that anymore for over a year. I informed them that the website says different and needs to be updated and was told I dont handle that. The campsite was good. Just before dark a carload of teenagers pulled up and proceeded to party and the host did nothing they were disrespectful and disruptive until 3 am with no help from the host.

Beautiful setting. Camping here for over 60 years. Great times with family and friends. Facilities well maintained and clean. Overall great times!,

This campsite is very beautiful. The facilities are in very good condition and clean. The reason for the two stars is that there are a lot of wasps around the campsite and we also had a very bad experience with our neighbors. They kept their camp fire for over 24 hours straight and there was a constant amount of heavy smoke coming to our campsite. There was no one regulating this and we had to spend our vacation smelling smoke instead of enjoying the clean air from the forest.

great campgrounds bathroom had a oil problem and it took them over three days to fix it.that seemed like a long time to only have one bathroom to use.

Awesome campground and beautifully shaded campsites. Easy access to the lake and decent bathroom facilities.
@PATRICIAF93069 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #51
We had fun, nice camp site. Just wish there was water at every site. And maybe even electricity at the group sites. Otherwise, it was an easy check in and check out and a fun time on the lake.

This was a great spot to stay. My kids loved it.

It's a wonderful campground with clean bathrooms and well maintained sites. Our site had a wasp nest in the bear canister that we destroyed and the inside of the ear box had old food in it. It was unfortunate that the water needed to be boiled first or not used. Had we known we would have brought water.
@RickD3627013 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #37
Tannery Campground is great. Host keeps the restrooms clean. Water was not drinkable and that was a little inconvenient.
@AnnaS8128034 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #65
No showers and winding road to get to site, besides that, AMAZING spot!! Bathrooms were clean, friendly folks, we had a wonderful time!! This is an amazing spot to get away from it all! Be sure to bring water to drink, towels, sunscreen, and firewood for campfires!! Cant wait to come back!!!

Incredible campground with some massive sites. Renting a boat at the marina across the way was a great way to spend one of the days. My only complaint is that over memorial day weekend there was a group of local teens partying pretty hard until 2-3am every night and I expect the camp host to proactively address campers that are being excessively disruptive.
@NoahS5756993 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #37
The campground itself was great. The lake and the views were spectacular. However, it was Memorial Day Weekend and although we expected the usual amount of noise, it appears that there is a local tradition of the entire local High School senior class camping, drinking, and playing loud music until 4am in the morning. The hosts should have intervened. Not exactly the serene camping experience. Highly recommend the campsite. Highly recommend against Memorial Day weekend or maybe any other holiday.

Beautiful location, scenery and beach with campsites that are nice size and not too close together. Clean bathrooms. Only 1 other site occupied at the beginning of the season made for a lovely quiet time. I just wish there were showers, or a shower shelter behind the restrooms with a hook so we could use our sun shower to shower. Also, notification that the water was not potable available before arrival is recommended!
@MitS6315156DBA · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #71
The trees kept us cool and the views are great. The restrooms were clean but didnt seem to be cleaned daily.
@ShalanaBFF668A · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #79
Overall it was a good camp ground but this particular campsite sits on a slope, so with the living space made it kind of hard with 3 little kids- chairs flipping over, wobbly table. I would say this campsite had about 10 ft of solid flat ground so just beware of that, and bathroom that was right next to us, the mens were out of order so you have to walk over to the next one which was busy.

2nd visit to Trinity Lake. Campground is well maintained, clean and great access to the lake with a boat ramp and beach area. Most campsites we saw, including ours, are good size so you don't feel like you are camping right on top of your neighbor. We went during a record heat wave and the tall trees provided great shade. We brought a canopy, but didn't even use it. There is NO CELL SERVICE, which was fine by us to disconnect for a few days. There is service in Lewiston (15 minute drive), if needed. Rented a boat at the marina (10 minute drive) and had a great time. Our family and friends had a great time and enjoyed making memories together.Pro Tip - Bring a paper map of the area because your GPS might not work.

This is rough camping, though there is toilets and sinks. This was nearly impossible to find via Google. Crazy directions. No park representative avaliable on site. Site was not level and tough to set tent.on si

Nice shaded sites. Decent bathroom facilities
@Priscilla1CB00 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #54M
Perfect location. Had a great time despite the bathrooms that stopped working half way in.
@KenR7711474 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #35
Had a problem with the water but the camp host, Hausa, did an extremely great job to alleviate the problem. Weve been going there for 60 years and its a great place!
@JessicaM144623 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #79
Great camping spot for all things Trinity Alps. Bathrooms with running water. Nice big sites.
@KenG96D0A30F07 · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #64
Great time with friends and family and we had good water to drink this time. The weather was all over the place but pleasant overall. The water in the lake was rising everyday. Great time
@GregoryH810400 · Camped on Jun 2, 2023 at Campsite #74
Campground was well maintained, clean, and serene. Park Ranger and staff made rounds occasionally which was nice. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked (no showers fyi). Lots of material to make a campfire around the area. Beautiful and peaceful campground
@MatthewEEFA211 · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #64
The campground was very clean and the restrooms were stocked with TP and also very clean. The spot says 40’ max RV but it was a real struggle to get my 28’ travel trailer in. Just be aware of this when booking the site. Overall the site is well shaded and pretty level.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
