Bridge Camp Campground

How does a secluded trailhead campground with equestrian facilities and creekside tranquility sound for your next outdoor escape? Bridge Camp Campground, located along the Stewart’s Fork of the Trinity River in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, offers 10 basic campsites surrounded by dense Douglas fir and mixed deciduous trees. With its proximity to the Stuart Fork Trailhead leading into the Trinity Alps Wilderness, this campground is a gateway to some of Northern California's most breathtaking backcountry adventures.

The campground caters to both standard campers and equestrian enthusiasts with features like a horse corral and hitching rails. Most campsites are positioned near the creek, providing a peaceful atmosphere punctuated by the sounds of rushing water. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and seasonally available drinking water, though it remains off the grid with no hookups. A standout historic feature is the Hotfoot Bridge Camp Siphon, a relic from the area's early mining days.

Bridge Camp Campground sits roughly 18 miles from the charming town of Weaverville, allowing access to small-town amenities and local culture. Its location also places visitors within a short distance of fishing, hiking, and equestrian trails, making it a perfect choice for rustic getaways, weekend adventures, or equine-friendly retreats.
