4. Everstoke - Camping & Glamping MTB park... by a brewery in the amazing Lost Sierra!
Blairsden-Graeagle, California3 Reviews•36 Photos•7 SavesEverstoke is a mountain biker's paradise, with 8 tent / van / trailer campsites available and several of miles of really fun, hand built singletrack, including LOTS of challenging features on our 91 acres… and we've got lots more trail to build!
In addition to campsites, we also have an awesome "tiny home" for those more into the comforts of "glamping". It has a master private bedroom (queen bed), and two lofts that have a queen on one loft and two twin beds on the other loft. It has a fully stocked kitchen, private bathroom with flushing toilet, shower and sink. An AC/heat unit keeps temps exactly how you like them.
Regular campers have access to running water, a flushing toilet, a community kitchen area (grills, tables and some cooking/eating utensils), in addition to a community campfire ring, two "cool down" tubs to soak in, and a fun bike skills area at the base of Everstoke.
Everstoke is located in the heart of the Lost Sierra. We're a short walk away from the beloved Brewing Lair, and super close to other world class riding and hiking trails in Lakes Basin, Downieville, Quincy (Mt. Hough), Mills Peak, and Beckworth Peak.

The lookout was constructed in 1934 and is a great example of Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) architecture.

The lookout tower is normally available for Memorial Day weekend through October, offering guests a unique lodging experience in Plumas National Forest.

Movin' West RV Park
A great place to stay in Graeagle, CA
It was a great RV park to stay at in Graeagle, California. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is great. The town is only 1 mile from the RV park and you can easily walk there. I highly recommend the Graeagle Outpost for coffee, ice cream, and more.
It would be even better if there was more space between each RV spot. It feels like your neighbor is right there in your business all the time. They put up fences to give some semblance of privacy but it doesn't really help because they are only partial fences.

Everstoke - Camping & Glamping MTB park... by a brewery in the amazing Lost Sierra!
Camping
I went to Everstoke a week ago. Based on my camping experience here, I would suggest to those who intend to come here to experience some camping styles. Traditional campers can choose from spacious tent sites where they can pitch their own tent, 2 player games and enjoy a rustic camping experience. For those looking for a touch of luxury, there are luxury accommodations, offering comfortable and stylish tents equipped with amenities like cozy beds, private bathrooms and even fire pits.

There's nothing quite like Everstoke in California!
I've been visiting and camping at Everstoke frequently since Brian (BKXC on YouTube) and Aaron (MTB'ing Adventures on YouTube) purchased the 91 acres a couple years ago. What an undertaking it has been! But 2 years later, they and hard working friends have created something very unique, in a truly fantastic location! You just have to experience it to believe it. Seriously.
Besides being able to build fun trails, and then riding those trails, my favorite things about Everstoke are the campsites nestled in the trees, without another campsite or 3 right next to me. I really enjoy the hang out area, meeting other guests and trading stories about where we rode, where everyone is from, and giving people suggestions for hitting all the other epic trails in the area. And it truly doesn't hurt that Everstoke is right next door to one of the coolest breweries I've ever visited (The Brewing Lair).
Four of my friends stayed in the "tiny house" during the Everstoke Enduro on 9/17/23 and were very stoked on it. Please let your not-so-campy friends know there's a great non-camping option at Everstoke that has all you need but the food and drinks you will consume!
Lastly, Everstoke has only just begun. I think there are about 10 miles of riding on the property currently, and that's only on the bottom third of the 91 acres. So much more fun to be built up higher on the property! If you have ideas for trails and features, come on out and make them a reality!

Movin' West RV Park
Quiet, clean, and beautiful
Check in was super easy with the host George escorting us to our site. We went with a group and we were close enough together for hanging out. Short walk to town for a morning of mini golf. Even though the park is close to the road, I didn't hear anything. Memorial day weekend George hosted camp-wide dinner of BBQ tri-tip and kielbasa. Was nice not to have to cook and it was delicious!
We had friends come for the day, no worries at all. The kids scootered and rode bikes along the camp roads, and drivers were cautious and patient. The showers are extremely clean, private, and comfortable. Seems like everyone complied with "camp shower" guidelines as I had good water pressure and hot water for my short but satisfying shower. The restrooms are equally clean. There was a vault toilet closer to our site, and they are cute and also extremely clean with good odor control and plenty of supplies. We have already booked for next year! - mmaryScout

Great location for beginners
As a beginner RV-er/camper this site was great. Great staff, easy to get to and find your spot, and convenient spots with decks and hookups.
The neighbors were also awesome, and helped us with questions and guidance.
Lots of RV's but didn't feel crowded at all, as most of them were not there(seasonal spots).
The marina and rental folks were super friendly, helpful and accommodating. we rented a boat for fishing, and the guys slowly explained and guided us (yes... first time fishing as well).
So much to do around - hiking, water sports, geo-caching, and stargazing (when you roam a bit outside the lights of the camp).

Thousand Trails Snowflower
Great Little Lake
I am a member of Thousand Trails and that being said this is one of my favorite TT spots in California. Family friendly, great little Lake for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding. RV sites have partial hook ups.  Thousand Trails does not reserve campsites so it can be quite a scene to find a site especially in the summer. Only one dump station was open (there are 3) so waited 30 + minutes to dump, hopefully management is working on that… they do offer a honey wagon service for $40.00 available 2 times a week.

Webber Lake Campground
Awesome & Close Proximity to Lake
Got lucky and dodged smoke! Stayed at North Site 33 - if you have a trailer, use caution on the appx 100 foot back-in with about 10 feet between trees. Once in though… absolutely amazing. Sites were large & easy walk to lake. Dogs (and their humans) loved it. Sites are  large, you don’t feel like you’re on top of anyone. North campground has back in sites, west campground has pull through sites. North campground has easier/better lake access. Road in can be bumpy in places, but worth the drive.

Magical space with plenty to offer!
I had a very enjoyable time looking out at the scenery. I had peace and quite with no large buildings and being on a private road. It all gave me the feeling I was one with the nature all around me. The camp also represents and embodies that same unity.

Fun park
This was where we went for our first outing with the travel trailer. The staff was very helpful. The dog park is AMAZING HUGE AND FENCED.
Paul R.ScoutThousand Trails Snowflower
Nice place
Great lake for swimming and water play. Too warm for trout and too small for kayaks/SUPs. But it does make a beautiful backdrop.
The park is rather spread out, so a bicycle/ebike is a plus. And if you mountain bike, there's some decent trails close by to ride. There's also legit fishing lakes within about a 20 minute radius.
RV sites are mostly electric and water only, and many aren't anywhere near level. Nonetheless, I loved the place and will definitely go back. If you prefer parking lot RV parks though, go somewhere else.

Little Bear RV Park
Great Spot for Exploring Plumas Eureka
If the first place you think of when you hear “the Sierra Nevada mountains” is Tahoe or Yosemite, I would strongly encourage you to explore points north of Truckee/Tahoe in the Plumas National Forest. And, a great place to stay while exploring the area is Little Bear RV park. This clean, quiet, and very family friendly campground offers a mixture of full and partial hookup sites, plus cabins. It’s right on the Feather river, with a refreshing swimming hole walking distance from the campground. Plumas Eureka state park offers a number of hikes that even little ones can manage. It also has great picnic areas on the creeks that run through the park. Within a 30 minute drive are a number of gorgeous alpine lakes. Gold Lake is especially beautiful and peaceful. I spent 5 nights here and while I love the more “famous” Sierra attractions, I have to say: I didn’t miss the crowds. Plumas is what Tahoe was like in the 1950’s. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing for trailer camping. The sites are close to each other, but every site has a small balcony you can back up next too. Majors Outpost boat rentals are also here and they are Super Friendly. Plumas Pines riding stables are also right up the street.

Beautiful and serene
Campground was situated nicely with perfect trees for our hammocks and bathrooms were tidy. Beautiful hiking within minutes of the campground with gorgeous views of the lake and boulders - and even waterfalls! There’s no cell service and no services at the campsite so pick up firewood from the one motel/cafe/gas/market on the way in.
