    Campgrounds near Likely, California range from established facilities to secluded forest sites throughout Modoc County and the Warner Mountains. Mill Creek Falls Campground operates seasonally from June to October, offering tent and RV sites with picnic tables and vault toilets. Likely Place RV and Golf Resort provides full hookup sites with sewer connections, showers, and electrical service. Blue Lake Campground features lakeside sites with access to hiking trails and fishing opportunities, while several Forest Service campgrounds like Lower Rush Creek offer more primitive camping experiences.

    Access to developed campgrounds varies significantly based on seasonal considerations. Many sites around Likely close during winter months, with most open from May through October or November. Roads to remote campgrounds like Ash Creek may become challenging during wet conditions, as one camper noted: "I wouldn't venture in here if I thought the road would be muddy as it could get western real fast." Travelers should check road conditions before attempting to reach backcountry campsites, particularly those requiring travel on unpaved forest roads. Cell service is limited or nonexistent at many camping areas, with several reviews mentioning no Verizon coverage at more remote locations.

    Waterfront access represents a significant draw for campers visiting the region. Blue Lake Campground receives consistently positive reviews for its lake access and surrounding natural features. According to a review, the lake has a trail that "circumnavigates the entire shoreline and is some of the best birding on the Modoc National Forest." Several campgrounds offer creek-side sites, though these locations may have seasonal mosquito activity. Many mixed-use campgrounds accommodate both tent and RV camping, with some providing separate tent-only areas across footbridges or in more secluded sections. For those seeking solitude, reviewers frequently mention finding completely empty campgrounds, even during summer weekends, making the Likely area ideal for campers wanting privacy and quiet natural settings.

      Likely Place Golf and RV Resort

      RV Gold resort

      Beautiful RV golf resort surrounded by beautiful landscape with great views. Park is meticulously maintained with grass areas at rv sites Golf course is in great shape and has a driving range, and golf carts. Nice clubhouse with a cafe. Nice walking paths through natural landscape. This resort is a very nice surprise. Easy late registration also.

      Plum Valley Campground

      Quiet

      It was a stop on a motorcycle trip. I like peace and quiet when I'm on the bike and this place delivered. Only 1 other site was occupied. The road in is 3 miles of gravel but not bad, the campground itself required a bit more caution. No site numbers, just pick a firepit and camp. The only negative is it's hard to find anything level which can make crawling in or out of a small tent in the dark a bit interesting. Over all a nice place.

      Upper Rush Creek Campground

      Quiet and isolated

      Overnight stop on a motorcycle trip. The week after Labor Day and it was just me, exactly what I needed. The road in is gravel but not bad. Pit toilets were clean as was the entire campground. I didn't take advantage of it, but there seems to be some hiking trails and the creek is quite nice.

      Rocky Point East

      Good views and open

      Not crowded, has two bathrooms, boat access, great selection of spots, and great views from the trees onto the lake. Great stargazing too. Easy access for our 17ft camper trailer

      Lower Rush Creek Campground

      Decent

      It was an alright spot besides the houses near by. There was no bear box in this one or the option up another mile. No one there but us.

      Merrill Campground

      Quiet Campground with Stellar Sunsets

      Right on Eagle Lake in Lassen National Forest, this campground has a mix of electric and non electric sites with views of the lake. Clean bathrooms with mirrors, flush toilets but no showers. If you want a shower, bike, walk or drive down to the marina where they have private rooms for showers. Boating, kayak and paddleboard in addition to fishing (water is high alkaline which makes for big trout). Quiet campground with big sites.

      Howards Gulch Campground

      Great spot

      Got some trees. For shade. Ai wouldn’t advise anything over 26 feet long. Tight turns and narrow.

      Sully's RV Park

      Nice Place

      The sites are fairly close together, there are big trees, level parking, and full hook ups.

      American Eagle RV Park

      Nice place beautiful view

      This is a campground that has great potential and Jason the manager is working hard to get it that way. 

       Full hook up site with great view. Looks like there are 2 nice playgrounds, a softball field, horse shoes and hiking trails, much more that I didn't get the chance to check out. 

       Jason was a great help to me, I'm on a trip back to Michigan and my last stop a portion of the bottom cover/liner fell off. (the dealer had cut a large square out to work on it.) Jason got it back on better than the dealer would have, tied up some wires that were hanging. He did a great job for a reasonable price. Thanks Jason 

      I highly recommend this campground; just keep in mind it is a work in restoring progress.  

      Also even though it was in the 90's I had a great, shaded spot and could sit outside the breeze made it comfortable.

    What campers like

    Uncrowded settings: Upper Rush Creek Campground rarely sees visitors during weekdays. A camper shared: "Little evidence that there had been any other campers here in weeks. Cobwebs in the outhouse, campfire circles washed clean by rain."

    Pet-friendly areas: Likely Place RV and Golf Resort provides dedicated pet areas. One visitor commented: "Our site backed up on the meadow and we were told this was an off leash area. The sites along the meadow had trees that provided some shade."

    Creek access: Multiple campgrounds offer water access for cooling off during summer months. At Lower Rush Creek Campground, "There were about 10 sites here, each had fire pit.
