Ripstein Campground is a free, first-come, first-served 10-site tent-only campground located just under a mile from the popular Canyon Creek Trailhead, making it ideal for hikers and backpackers accessing the Trinity Alps Wilderness.

The campground sits next to a popular swim area on Canyon Creek with vault toilets and fire rings at each site, though potable water is not available. Dogs are allowed on leash, and the majority of sites have food lockers to deter black bears.
