Summary
No hookups are available, but RVs up to 22 feet can access the campground. Reservations aren't accepted, and there's a small nightly fee. Tucked in a peaceful, mixed-conifer forest near Lake Almanor and the Pacific Crest Trail, it provides a quiet, shaded retreat ideal for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The scenery is lush and serene with a classic high-Sierra feel. Late spring through early fall is the best time to visit for mild weather and full facility access.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
