Ackerman Campground is a lakeside facility that's a favorite of fishermen. It is located in the beautiful Trinity Lake/Weaverville area of Shasta-Trinity National Forest, which is part of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. The campground is open year-round for walk-ins, with reservations accepted May 21st through September 10th. The area offers excellent opportunities for fishing, boating and wildlife viewing. Lewiston Lake is 610 acres and offers good fishing for kokanee salmon, as well as rainbow, brown and brook trout. There are two accessible boat ramps near this facility: Fairview boat ramp, with access to Trinity Lake, is 3 miles north, and Pine Cove boat ramp, with access to Lewiston Lake, is 2 miles south. Motorized boats are limited to 10 miles per hour, and Lewiston Lake is a popular destination for kayakers. Hikers can enjoy the 2-mile North Lakeshore Trail. This campground can accommodate trailers and RVs up to 40 feet. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and a campfire ring with grill, and the parking spurs are either grass or gravel. The campground is situated at an elevation of 1,900 feet on the western shore of Lewiston Lake at the base of Trinity Dam. Some deciduous and conifer trees are found around the campground, but it is mostly unshaded. Cold, crystal-clear Lewiston Lake is roughly 5 miles long and a half-mile wide, featuring a mountainous shoreline and a topography that ranges from marshlands to dense forest.
