Meadow View Equestrian Campground near Greenville offers six spacious campsites designed for horse owners. Each site includes a bear box, fire pit, and picnic table with access to horse corrals located just before the campground entrance. The hand-pumped water spigot at the entrance provides fresh water that requires boiling before consumption. Sites accommodate trailers and RVs with creative maneuvering required on the compact loop. The dirt and gravel access road remains passable for most vehicles including 26-foot Class C RVs. Campers report the sites remain uncrowded even during peak season, with ample space between each location. The campground sits adjacent to a large meadow with views that enhance the camping experience. Vault toilets are maintained regularly and remain open year-round.
The extensive trail system surrounding Meadow View allows riders to explore directly from their campsites. ATV and side-by-side trails double as excellent riding routes through miles of forested terrain. Riders can access the area via two main approaches, with Doyle Grade Road offering better conditions and less dirt road travel than the Frenchman Lake route. The campground remains peaceful with minimal traffic, creating a quiet environment for horses. Snake Lake Campground provides an alternative equestrian option in the region with Forest Service-maintained sites that include fire rings and bear boxes. Both locations offer free camping with no reservation requirements during most seasons. The surrounding pine forests provide natural shade and hammock-hanging opportunities, while the burned areas around Meadow View did not damage the actual campground facilities.
"There is also a water access to go easing and a few deep spots for swimming. There are also 3 Poké stops and a gym for Pokémon Go players."

Check Availability"Mind you this lake isn’t far from Reno, NV and surrounding valleys so it can get quite rowdy at night during peak season. Would not recommend for families looking for a quiet, serene getaway."
"The lake is perfect for fishing, kayaking, and splashing around."
"Walking trails connect to the campground! What a delight and right near Bucks Lake!
It is bear country, and the campsite was visited by a bear at night.""Clean campground, great fishing, and nice trail around lake. Kids love camping here. Bathrooms are kept clean and stocked 2-3x a day."
from $31 / night
Check Availability"Just a short drive down a forest service dirt road and you'll find yourself at Soldier Meadows---a gem of a campground!"
"It's close to the lake and market. We love to get ice cream before dinner :) Only negative - not all of the spaces have bear boxes and we had a nice visitor one morning."
"It's along a cove in the lake. Super nice hosts and nice campers. The bathrooms are kind of gross but that's expected. Always camp here when we go to the lake."
"It all gave me the feeling I was one with the nature all around me. The camp also represents and embodies that same unity."
from $35 / night
Check Availability"Located off a well maintained gravel road near beautiful Butte Lake. We had no problem towing our trailer to this location and neither did our friends whose trailer is 30+ ft."
"Stayed at Butte Lake for two nights in late June 2022. None of the campsites has an unobstructed lake view, but it’s a short walk to the day use area on the shore."
from $37 / night
Check Availability"Very pretty views of the valley from the campground, and having hiking trails start from the campground was really nice. Only complaints are very close neighbors and little shade."
ScoutIt’s pretty empty this time of year. Was informed it will close for the season next week. Camp sites are oddly marked. Lots of trees to navigate around. But spacious. Tent and RV Camp spots as well as cabins. Internet is the fastest I’ve seen at a park 40mb download. There is road noise at night so pick a spot in the back. Showers and bathrooms are very clean.
GuideGreat CG, bigger than expected but spots are spread out. Cool pine forest, pretty lake, Cinder Cone Hike worth the sweat for the views. Stayed in site 8, not super level for a van, but made it work.
ScoutOverall, this is a pretty good campsite for a classic, peaceful, and relaxing nature experience, especially for those who like to escape from technology and listen to the sound of flowing water. Grow a Garden is also one of the farm-themed recreational activities that is very suitable for bonding with each other.
GuideNice Campground right on the hat Creek! Full hookups Laundry Wifi available for purchase Close to Lassen Volcanic NP
LegendThis place is a great place to camp with or without horses.
Ride out from your site on your ATV or SBS for miles of trails to explore.
There is a water but must be hand pumped from the well and boiled.
Only 6 sites here, not very level but easy to fix with blocks. This campground is in an area that burned but no damage to the campground. Plenty of tall pine trees, hang a hammock and chill.
There are corals for horses near the campground.
We were the only people there on a Friday afternoon.
Came in from Frenchman Lake and out on Doyle Grade Rd. Of the two we will go back on Doyle Grade Road, not as much dirt road and in better condition.
GuideWe spent the weekend here and camp host were great. Bathrooms were clean. Only downside was no dump or fresh water and it’s a 30+ minute drive to town. Biggest downfall of this area is the hour long drive with a trailer down the wash board road. Other than that everything was great. Fishing was good. Clean camp.
GuideThe drive was nice once you get past the burn scar. There was no one around so it was peaceful and the weather was decent. There are just a few spots but plenty of room for trailer parking. There is a bathroom and bear box. Pack it in and out for trash.
ScoutWe had a great time up at Antelope Lake. It is a very pretty lake and would definitely recommend going. However, the camp host there was very rude and very unaccommodating. I booked 6 campsites for two nights, when I showed up on Friday, the campground was not full so I moved to my trailer to a different site because it was close to friends and family. The site I moved to was first come first serve. The camp host was hounding me - saying I must pay for the site I moved to even though the campground wasn't full. Originally, I paid close to $500 for all 6 sites and the camp host made me pay for the extra site that wasn't even taken/reserved. Be careful of this guy! I think this guy might be pocketing the money.
ScoutIt's along a cove in the lake. Super nice hosts and nice campers. The bathrooms are kind of gross but that's expected. Always camp here when we go to the lake.
Equestrian camping near Greenville, California spans across Plumas National Forest at elevations between 3,500-5,000 feet where summer temperatures typically range from 75-85°F during the day. The region includes multiple horse-friendly campsites with connecting trail systems through mixed conifer forests. Horse owners often find uncrowded conditions even during July and August when other Sierra Nevada destinations reach capacity.
Fishing opportunities: At Antelope Lake Recreation Area, campers have access to excellent fishing opportunities. "The lake is nestled in the mountains. The scenery, fishing and water sports are superb," notes one visitor. The lake remains warm enough for swimming from June through August.
Hiking to Cinder Cone: From Butte Lake Campground, hikers can access the remarkable Cinder Cone trail. "The Cinder Cone hike along the old lava flow behind the campsite is spectacular! Don't let the climb up the cinder cone dissuade you; the panoramic view from the top is well worth it," shares a camper who completed the hike with two 6-year-olds.
Lake activities: Many campgrounds offer direct lake access for water recreation. At Bucks Lake, visitors can enjoy multiple water activities. "The lake is perfect for fishing, kayaking, and splashing around," reports one camper about Antelope Lake, while Butte Lake offers clear water swimming with restrictions: "You must wear a life preserver if you put your boat in the water."
Spacious sites: Soldier Meadows Campground receives high marks for its generous campsites. "The campsites are huge, with lots of room to spread out," notes one camper. This creates more privacy than typically found at more developed sites.
Peaceful atmosphere: Many campers appreciate the quiet found at less-developed campgrounds. "Just a short drive down a forest service dirt road and you'll find yourself at Soldier Meadows—a gem of a campground! Located just 15 minutes from the oh so popular Lake Almanor, Soldier Meadows is a peaceful campground nestled among towering pines and a babbling brook," reports one visitor.
Natural features: Taylorsville County Park offers a blend of nature and amenities. "Beautiful Taylorsville is always a good place to set up my tent. Many spots, some with hook ups! Lots of trees," mentions one regular visitor. Another camper notes the park has "very nice and large spots for both Camper and Tent camping... lots of tall trees for shade during the day."
Road conditions: Access roads to remote campgrounds can present challenges. For Butte Lake Campground, a visitor warns: "The road getting in you need a suv not a car. It's very bumpy lots of pot holes." Another notes it's "a six-mile gravel road. Not too dusty or bumpy."
Bear awareness: Bears are active throughout the region. At Haskins Valley Campground, a camper warns: "Not all of the spaces have bear boxes and we had a nice visitor one morning. Be sure to put your food in your car if you don't have a bear box."
Water availability: Water sources vary greatly between campgrounds. At Soldier Meadows, "There is no water at this campsite, but if you bring your filtration system you can get water just steps away from your campsite." At Butte Lake Campground, "you have to fill jugs and carry from the sink" as there's no way to hook up a hose.
Swimming options: Snake Lake Campground provides good family recreation options. "Great place to camp. Easy to get to, maybe 15 minutes from town. Hiking, 4 wheeling, fishing. One of my favorite places to camp," notes a regular visitor. The nearby lake offers cooling relief during hot summer days.
Recreational mix: Taylorsville County Park offers diverse activities for families. "There is also a water access to go easing and a few deep spots for swimming. There are also 3 Poké stops and a gym for Pokémon Go players," mentions one parent.
Shade importance: With summer temperatures regularly reaching 85°F, shade becomes critical for family comfort. At Butte Lake Campground, "The sites are large and spaced far apart and shady," which helps manage heat during peak summer months. Consider campground location and tree cover when booking with children.
Maneuvering challenges: Black Rock Campground presents difficulties for larger rigs. "Roads are terribly narrow and sites are small and very uneven. Not a great place for a trailer nor class A," warns one RVer. Always check road width and turning radius information before booking.
Trailer access considerations: When selecting campgrounds, carefully assess road conditions. At Antelope Lake, one camper noted "the hour long drive with a trailer down the wash board road" was the "biggest downfall of this area" despite the campground itself being excellent.
Hookup availability: Full hookups are rare in this region. While Taylorsville County Park offers "very nice and large spots for both Camper and Tent camping" with "some with hook ups," most campgrounds in the area provide limited or no hookups. Plan for self-contained camping when bringing an RV to the Greenville area.
