Big Roaring River Lake Campground offers 12 primitive, first-come, first-served campsites at 7,900 feet elevation in the Trinity Recreation area, featuring a hand-carry boat launch for canoes and kayaks on Big Roaring River Lake.

The campground is accessible only mid-July through September due to snow, with FS Road 172 being a rough dirt road not recommended for trailers. Anglers and paddlers can access the river and four nearby subalpine lakes, with multiple trails (William H.

Pogue, Lava Mountain, and Upper Roaring River) departing from the area for hiking, biking, and OHV use.
