Ridgeville Boat-In Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Weaverville Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. It sits among a cluster of campgrounds, with Ridgeville Cg-F about 0.1 mile away and Ridgeville Island Cg-F about half a mile off. The nearest town is Weaverville, and the surrounding area is a mix of forest and lakeshore. The campground is not reservable, so plan on arriving and securing a spot on the spot. Summer is the warmest stretch, with typical July highs around 96°F and lows near 54°F, while September cools to typical highs near 89°F. Those figures are typical averages from a nearby weather station at Trinity River Hatchery, which sits about 550 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Minersville Campground, a saltwater fishing spot, is about 0.8 mile away, and Minersville Cg-F is a similar distance. For hiking, Trinity Lakeshore is about 2.3 miles off and Granite Peak about 3.7 miles.
