Fee Reservoir Campground

Within BLM Land managed by the Applegate Field Office, Fee Reservoir Campground sits at over 5,000 feet elevation in California's northeastern mountains. The campground provides seven sites with vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, accommodating RVs up to 24 feet in length. Campers can access sites by driving in, hiking, or walking to their preferred spot.

The high elevation means cold nights year-round and requires extra preparation with sunscreen and water during the day. No camp host or cell service exists at the remote location, though the 14-day stay limit allows ample time to explore surrounding hiking trails and backcountry lakes. For different amenities, Cave Lake Campground offers an alternative 13 miles northwest.

Beautiful and little trafficked spot near Fort Bidwell

This campground is HIGH up in the mountains (over 5,000 feet) so remember sunscreen, water, and the fact that it’s going to get plenty cold at night regardless of the season. There is a lot of BLM boondocking activity in this area so it’s nice to have an actual campground.

There are seven sites in total and according to signage you can stay for a maximum of 14 days. This is plenty even when you take into consideration the vast number of hiking trails and off circuit lakes to explore. It’s a beautiful corner of California and highly underrated.

RVs can fit in these spots but the maximum length is about 24 feet. Vault toilets. No camp host and no cell service.
