Trapper Springs Campground

Located on the west shore of Courtright Reservoir, Trapper Springs Campground is surrounded by conifer trees and granite rock. Courtright Reservoir offers boating, under 10 mph, and fishing. The area has many hiking opportunities at the nearby John Muir Wilderness and the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness. Courtright Reservoir, at 8,200 feet in elevation is located in one of the most superb geological areas of California. Bare granite domes rise from the shores of Courtright Reservoir and above the deep canyon cut by Helms Creek located at the north end of the lake. Ice Age glaciers sculpted the mountain peaks, slopes and valleys giving them their unique present-day shape. To the east Mt. Goddard rises majestically to 13,568 feet in elevation. Trapper Springs Campground, a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. facility in the Sierra National Forest, has vault toilets, and potable water.
