About This Location

Experience peaceful lakeside camping at Cooper Gulch Campground on the shores of Lewiston Lake. Ideal for fishing, kayaking, and enjoying nature year-round.

Nestled directly on the scenic shores of Lewiston Lake, Cooper Gulch Campground offers a tranquil escape for those looking to immerse themselves in Northern California's natural beauty. This federal site managed by the USFS is a true gem for outdoor enthusiasts, providing immediate water access that makes it a premier destination for anglers and paddlers alike. Whether you are launching a kayak at sunrise or casting a line from the bank, the calm waters of the lake provide a serene backdrop for your getaway.

The campground features basic amenities to keep your stay simple and focused on the outdoors, including fire rings for evening gatherings and convenient access to nearby boat ramps. Visitors can enjoy local hiking trails and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities right from their campsite. Because the area enforces a ten-mile-per-hour speed limit for motorized boats, the lake remains a quiet, peaceful environment for non-motorized water sports.

This site is best suited for campers who enjoy a moderate, back-to-basics experience. It is an excellent choice for tent campers and RV travelers who prefer a rustic setting over full-hookup parks. With its year-round accessibility, it serves as a reliable home base for exploring the surrounding forest and the nearby waters of Trinity Lake.
