Scott Flat Campground is a Forest Service site in the Hayfork Ranger District of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in northern California. It sits about 32 miles from Weaverville, the nearest town, and is managed by the Forest Service. The site has no fees, and the only amenity is vault toilets. That makes it a simple base for an overnight stay in the forest, with no need to plan around a fee or a full set of services. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Weaverville show May highs around 77°F and October highs around 75°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s and winter brings frequent rain. The South Fork National Recreation Trail starts just 0.3 miles away, and Hell Gate Campground and Forest Glen Guard Station are each about 0.4 miles off. Marble Caves is roughly a mile away.
