The Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort sits in the small mining town of Lewiston, California in Trinity County, just a short walk from the old single-lane bridge that spans the scenic Trinity River. You’re right in the heart of the Trinity Alps, surrounded by granite peaks and dense forest—it’s the kind of place where you can actually feel the difference between here and anywhere you came from.

The location gives you access to the full range of outdoor activities in this part of Northern California. Fishing is huge here, whether you’re casting in the Trinity River itself or heading out on the lakes. Rafting and canoeing trips are available if you want something more active, and there are plenty of hiking trails that climb into the high country. Some go to alpine lakes if you’re willing to put in the work. You can also try your hand at gold panning, which fits the mining town vibe perfectly.

If you want a break from water and trails, Historic Lewiston just across the bridge has antique shops and local galleries scattered through the old buildings. The town has that genuine Gold Rush-era feel—not overly restored or commercialized, just authentically itself. Weaverville, about twenty minutes away, has a golf course if that’s your thing.

The resort itself works well as a base camp. You can bring your RV and stay put while you explore, or use it as a jumping-off point for longer adventures. The Trinity River right there means you can watch the water from your site and listen to it at night. Boat rentals on Lewiston Lake and Trinity Lake are available if you want to get out on the water without doing the work yourself.

The drive takes some time—you’re heading west on Highway 299 from Redding—but that remoteness is part of the point. Once you’re here, you’re genuinely away from things.
