Jackass Spring 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 the nearest town is Weaverville. The site has vault toilets, and no fees are required to use it. That makes it a simple, low-cost base for an overnight stay in the forest. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. 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. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Preacher Meadow Campground is about 3.6 miles away, and Clear Creek Campground is about 4.5 miles away. Bear Paw Trail and the Trinity Unit - National Recreation Area are both within about 6 miles.
