Captain's Point Campground is a Forest Service site in the Weaverville Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. It sits among a cluster of Forest Service campgrounds, and its vault toilets are the only facility on site. No fees are required to use the campground, which makes it an easy stop for an overnight stay without planning for a charge. The site is best suited to a short visit rather than a full-service experience, so bring everything you need for the trip. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 77°F and October highs around 76°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. Hayward Flat Campground is about 2.4 miles away, and Bear Paw Trail is about 2.5 miles off. Alpine View Campground is about 2.7 miles away, and Minersville Campground, a saltwater fishing spot, is about 4.6 miles away.
