The Best Camping Near Susanville, California

We camped from 6/18 - 6/20, a Monday through Wednesday. There was only one other occupied campsite out of about 25 on our loop. When we came last year in early July, there were more campers but it still wasn't filled. We have a Senior Access Pass, so we paid only $10 per night instead of $20\. Clean campsites with picnic tables, and fire rings with nice adjustable height cooking grates. There is firewood for sale at the campground host's. Drinking water is available, and the bathrooms are clean and have flush toilets. We were happy to have our screen tent, because there were more than a few mosquitoes. A paved trail goes along the lake for 5 miles, suitable for bicycles, strollers, and hikers. There are big fish in the lake, and there are white pelicans and bald eagles who feed on those fish. Beautiful scenery with strategically located picnic tables near the lake, and nice places to spread a blanket and take a lakeside nap.

Lots of space to ourselves!

One of several campgrounds at Eagle Lake this one sits up on a hill under the trees and is a little further from the water. Lots of pull through sites are nice. Camp host on site. Many tall pines provide shade.

Further from the Lake

The site was set nicely amongst the trees. The host was friendly and the site overall including the restrooms were super clean.
