The most popular group campground on Trinity Lake earns its reputation with direct lake access and generous space for large gatherings. Fawn sits on the Stuart Fork Arm under a canopy of oaks, Douglas firs, and pines, handling groups up to 100 people per loop with room for both tents and larger RVs.

The Camp
Two main loops (B and C) each accommodate up to 100 people, with 19 individual sites nested within each group area. The sites handle RVs up to 40 feet on unpaved spurs, while paved roads make navigation easy for larger rigs. Each loop comes with bear-proof food lockers, multiple tables, and group fire grills, plus individual tables and grills at each of the 19 sites.
The setting delivers immediate lake access without the drive to a separate day-use area. Douglas firs and pines provide shade, with oaks filling out the canopy — useful coverage at Trinity Lake's 1,067-foot elevation where summer sun can be relentless.
What to Know
This is group camping only, designed for organized gatherings rather than individual families. Flush toilets and drinking water are on-site, eliminating the primitive camping trade-offs that come with some Trinity Lake options.
A boat ramp and marina sit just a mile away, making this a logical base for groups planning serious water time. The nearby Stoney Creek Swim Area adds a beach and picnic option for those who want a change of scenery.
Nearby
