Minersville Campground

Located on the shores of Trinity Lake near the Bushytail Campground. One of the more popular campgrounds on Trinity Lake in a stand of mixed conifers and deciduous trees. Excellent waterskiing is available on the arm.  The first section of the campground is well developed with paved, level parking aprons and amenities. The second section is mostly walk-in, with good privacy between campsites, and more primitive with a wilderness feel. This section also features campsites next to the water's edge. Most sites in both sections have views of Trinity Lake.

There are six walk-in campsites (five single, one double). There are two accessible campsites, two single campsites, and three double campsites. Directly adjacent is the Minersville Boat Ramp. Bear-resistant containers are available. Informal mooring of boats is possible off some campsites.
