Campground details
Setting
Ackerman Campground is a year-round lakeside facility located at 1,900 feet elevation on the western shore of Lewiston Lake, right at the base of Trinity Dam in Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The mostly unshaded site accommodates RVs and trailers up to 40 feet with grass or gravel spurs, picnic tables, and campfire grills. Anglers target kokanee salmon and trout on the 610-acre lake, which has a 10 mph speed limit. Two accessible boat ramps sit nearby: Fairview boat ramp on Trinity Lake three miles north, and Pine Cove boat ramp two miles south.
Getting there: From Weaverville, take Highway 3 north for 7 miles. Turn right on Rush Creek Road for 9 miles. Turn left on Trinity Dam Boulevard for 7.5 miles.
