Learn more about alerts →Fall and winter campers who want wooded, shaded sites with water and electric hookups close to Gulf beaches. The swim lake, 6.5-mile trail loop, and South Creek paddling are all on-site, and sites backing onto the creek or lake are worth requesting specifically.
Campfire nights are the draw for you, a Sarasota County burn ban (in effect as of October 2025) means no open flames until further notice. Also, large rigs should confirm 50-amp availability before booking; site sizes and amperage are inconsistent.

<A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=169">Lewiston Dam</a>, <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=506">Central Valley Project - Shasta/Trinity Division</a>, is about 7 miles downstream from <A HREF="https://www.usbr.gov/projects/index.php?id=266">Trinity Dam</a>. It diverts water by means of Clear Creek Tunnel to Whiskeytown Lake. The dam is 91 feet high and 745 feet long. The Trinity River Fish Hatchery, operated by the California Department of Fish and Game, has a capacity of about 40 million eggs. It is immediately downstream from Lewiston Dam and compensates for the upstream spawning area that has been rendered inaccessible and unusable by the dams. Lewiston Lake is more like a large, cold, slow-moving river with a large population of trout. Rainbow trout range from 8 to 18 inches, 12- to 14-inch average. The German brown average over 20 inches. Effective flies either cast from a drift boat or trolled slowly. Productive slow trolling. Shore fishing produces both varieties of trout.
About 40 miles west of Redding, California on State Highway 299. Access road, Trinity Dam Blvd.

Fall through spring brings the campground's sweet spot: mild temperatures, comfortable humidity, and perfect conditions for exploring the historic fort and miles of trails. Summer transforms the park into a beach lover's paradise—yes, it's hot and humid, but the Atlantic's cool waves are calling your name. Smart campers enjoy summer mornings on the trail or touring the fort before the midday heat, then spend sultry afternoons beachside with a good book and refreshing swims.
Fall is part of the park's 'sweet spot' with mild temps and comfortable humidity for exploring.
