About this campground
Escape to the intimate charm of Clear Creek Campground, where just six secluded campsites offer a true back-to-nature experience. This hidden gem welcomes adventurers with trailers up to 22 feet, providing the perfect balance of primitive camping and essential comforts. Each site comes equipped with its own picnic table and fire ring, while a conveniently located vault toilet serves the small community of campers who discover this peaceful retreat.
Clear Creek Campground provides primitive, tent, and RV camping options though with minimal amenities. It is suited for campers looking for quiet, dispersed sites in a forest environment.
Weather and SeasonsExperience nature's full spectrum at Clear Creek, where each season paints the landscape with its own distinct palette. Winter transforms the campground into a crisp wonderland, with temperatures dipping to around 28°F and occasional snowflakes dusting the forest floor. As spring emerges, the weather gradually warms until summer arrives in full glory, bringing sun-drenched days that can reach a toasty 92°F. Pack your rain gear for winter camping adventures, but come summer, you'll bask under predominantly clear, azure skies that make for perfect stargazing nights.
Natural Features and SceneryListen to the gentle melody of Clear Creek as it winds alongside your campsite, creating nature's own soundtrack for your outdoor adventure. This pristine campground remains untouched by recent wildfires, preserving the lush forest canopy that provides cooling shade and a sense of timeless tranquility. As one visitor noted, 'The creek runs along one side,' offering campers the soothing presence of flowing water and the opportunity to spot local wildlife coming to drink at dawn and dusk.
Geological RegionImmerse yourself in the magnificent Shasta-Trinity National Forest, where Clear Creek Campground serves as your gateway to one of California's most spectacular wilderness areas. Surrounded by towering trees and the babbling creek that gives the campground its name, this serene forest environment offers a perfect blend of accessibility and wild beauty, making it an ideal basecamp for exploring the greater Trinity Alps region.
