Jackass Springs Campground

Jackass Springs Campground is a remote, primitive 10-site campground on the east shore of Trinity Lake with vault toilets and picnic tables, accessible via a challenging 5-mile unpaved road that requires careful navigation.

The no-fee, first-come, first-served campground accommodates trailers up to 32 feet but has no potable water—campers must bring their own or treat lake water.

The location offers excellent opportunities for motorized and non-motorized boating, swimming, fishing, and hunting in a secluded backcountry setting.
