What to do
Paddling activities: At Little Bear RV Park, visitors can enjoy water recreation on the Feather River. "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... It's right on the Feather river, with a refreshing swimming hole walking distance from the campground."
Fishing spots: Access prime fishing areas from cabin accommodations at multiple locations. "Lots of lakes and fishing nearby. Lakes and fishing nearby. Very clean," notes one guest at Movin' West RV Park. Trout fishing is particularly productive in spring and early summer when mountain lakes and streams are well-stocked.
Hiking trails: Sardine Lake offers access to multiple trail systems. "My family has been camping here since before I was born and we love it! It's definitely a gem of the Sierras. The lake is beautiful and Sand Pond is great for swimming. There is plenty of hiking and fishing around and it is such a peaceful place to relax and read a book. I would recommend hiking up to the Buttes if you're looking for a challenge."

What you should know
Reservation timing: Most cabin rentals require advance booking during peak seasons. "Check in was super easy with the host George escorting us to our site.

Even though the park is close to the road, I didn't hear anything," shares a visitor about Movin' West RV Park.
Space considerations: Some cabin accommodations feature close quarters. "It's a cute RV park, it's clean and close to a little town the bad thing is that every space is so close to each other, you have next to you their services and it's impossible to access your storage without bothering your neighbors," notes a camper at Clio's Rivers Edge RV Park.
Seasonal noise factors: Train tracks run near some campgrounds. "The railroad tracks along side of park and loud in early hours you got use to it. Will return but off season when kids are back in school," reports a visitor about Little Bear RV Park.

Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Choose locations based on your shade preferences. "We stayed at site 60A Lake Front View, which had stunning water views and a spacious setup. The site gets a lot of sun in the morning and afternoon, so bring a popup canopy for shade—it made a big difference for us!" shares a visitor to Collins Lake Recreation Area.
Seasonal advantages: Visit during shoulder seasons for fewer crowds. "We camped here TWICE in 2019. First time in mid April and 2nd time on the first weekend of November. Both times were AWESOME!!! Just an FYI, in the Spring, the water level is much higher so the water line is closer to the campsites. In the fall, pre-winter, the water level is much lower."
Electrical hookup options: Most cabin rentals offer 30-amp service, with some providing 50-amp connections. "Sites are level and spacious," notes a visitor about Movin' West RV Park. Campers with higher electrical needs should confirm availability before booking as limited 50-amp service can be found in the area.
