Hayden Flat Group Campground

Hayden Flat Group Campground offers an exceptional riverside retreat situated along a scenic stretch of the Trinity River. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, this location is uniquely positioned to provide easy access to the river, making it a premier destination for those who enjoy water-based activities. The campground features three dedicated group sites, which were thoughtfully converted from the upper loop to better accommodate larger parties looking to enjoy the great outdoors together.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the region, the site provides a rugged and authentic camping experience. Visitors can spend their days fishing, swimming, or navigating the river by raft, kayak, or boat. The setting is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a moderate wilderness experience with direct access to one of California’s most beautiful waterways. Hiking trails are also available nearby for those who wish to explore the surrounding terrain on foot.

This campground is well-suited for groups of tent campers or RV travelers who are looking for a basecamp to enjoy the river. Because it is a more primitive site without utility hookups, it is best for those who appreciate self-contained camping. Open year-round, it serves as a reliable destination for adventurers seeking a quiet, scenic getaway in the heart of Northern California.
