Steiner Flat Primitive Campground

What sets Steiner Flat Primitive Campground apart is its serene location along the banks of the Trinity River, where the soothing sound of flowing water contrasts sharply with the hustle of modern life. This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) site provides a rustic, off-grid experience ideal for nature enthusiasts seeking solitude and simplicity.

The campground features eight primitive sites suitable for tent camping or small trailers. Amenities are intentionally minimal with a single pit toilet, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no potable water is available on-site, so campers must bring their own. The area is surrounded by a mix of Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and oaks, offering a beautiful natural backdrop. The Trinity River is easily accessible, making it a haven for fly fishing and a gateway to paddling adventures on both tranquil and more challenging waters. The environment is known for its quiet ambiance, interrupted only by the sounds of wildlife and the river.

Located about 2.5 miles west of Douglas City on Steiner Flat Road, the campground is just a short drive from additional recreational opportunities, including hiking trails, horseback riding, and whitewater activities downstream near Pigeon Point. The proximity to Douglas City ensures easy access to basic supplies, making Steiner Flat a great option for weekend getaways or short vacations.
