Northshore Campground

Showers ($1 bills only), fire pits, and FCFS sites, as well as a friendly campground host. Beautiful spot right on the lake. Mosquitos and bees so bring bug spray.

Extreme Dust

We have stayed on the lake before but at “dusty campground”, this time wanting to spend our trip in a little bit more of a civilized campground. The roads were paved unlike dusty but the campgrounds were just as dusty as dusty campground. Be prepared for everything to be covered from head to toe. We went July 12-14th and I wouldn’t swim in the lake, blue/green foam on the shoreline. Most of the campsites are more like RV sites with no flat ground for a tent. I wish I would’ve known that. There’s vault toilets around with toilet paper and 1 big bathroom with showers that is open 8am-9pm and runs on “tokens” that you have to buy with $1 bills only, no quarters accepted. Just a heads up. The campground was really pretty but I wouldn’t suggest for tent camping, for RV’s or car camping it’s nice. The bathrooms all smelt really good and were for the most part clean, the shower trash cans were overflowing with feminine products and wasn’t changed the whole time we stayed, so I’m not sure how often the bathrooms get cleaned. The camp host was friendly and offered people wood. Seems like the kind of place that you can do about whatever you’d like, music was blasting till 10pm when quiet hours started, that’s okay we just played our music too but those that are looking for a “relaxing camping trip” also shouldn’t come here.

Northshore - Lake Britton

Unlike the other campground on Lake Bitton (Dusty Campground) this is a more developed campground. It can be reserved - through PGE.

There is water. There are showers.  And it is much larger - 20 plus sites. It can accomodate trailers. Lots of people here with boats as there is a boat launch. Sites have tables and fire rings.  Pretty open so privacy can be an issue.

Towards the end of the summer the lake can get "murky" and full of algae.  So you won't be swimming say in September.  The lake offers fishing, boating and kayaking,  Easy access from the campground. There is a "beach" like area on the lake.

If you get there at the end of the season you will get fall color.

Yo are an easy ride to get to Burney Falls State Park - or you can go across the lake to get h=there.

Dusty Campground on Lake Britton

There is also a north campground called northshore on Lake Britton.  This is a review of the very small but great Dusty Campground. on the south eastern side of the lake.  I am a tent camper so reviewed from that perspective. Not sure trailers could get down there.

It is very small - less than 10 sites, but each is right on the lake.  Lake Britton is great - seldom crowded during the week.  You can fish, boat, kayak etc.  But be aware that for "swimming" late in the summer and early fall it "mucks" up with algae so is really not for swimming then.

These sites are on the lake under oaks and pines. The campground is run by PG & E. The water comes from their Pit River complex and is regulated.  There is a large dam at one end of the lake.

There  are vault toilets. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There is no water.

You are real close to McArther Burney Falls State Park.

If you are into fall colors this is the place.

Be aware - no rservations - first come first served.

The one that got Away

I love the Dusty Campground which has sites on lake Britton. Super clean lake! GREAT FISHING! Unfortunately only 9 campsites available at Dusty so its very hard to get one. Go midweek and pack your fishing gear.

Small and cozy campground on the north shore of Lake Britton

This campground is situated on the north shore of Lake Britton, CA. directly across the lake from the McArthur-Burney Falls campground. It offers 30 campsites, many with a view of the lake, and has coin-operated showers and vault toilets available in the campground. A camp supervisor/host is on site. All camp sites have fire rings and picnic tables but no food lockers. For boaters there is lake access and room for anchoring at the shore. The fishing here is a short walk to the shore and there is a small swimming area as well. There are no RV hookups present.
