Enjoyed our stay

I am not a huge fan of campgrounds, but this is worth staying in. Beautiful views of the lake and nice little beach for kids. It's packed pretty tight and we were on a slope but booked it again this year.

Nice campground

We came after Labor Day when the spaces are first come first serve. We got a great campsite next to the restroom. They are pit toilets but kept very clean. The campground is not full and it is quiet this time of year. If your rig is over 30 ft you will have a more difficult time getting into spaces. The roads are narrow and don’t leave a lot of room to maneuver. Some spaces have low hanging branches. Lake Almanor is very low this time of year but it is an easy walk out to the water. Camp hosts were very nice. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, Good fishing, great swimming & boatingwe

We have been going here for years.  The spaces are large, sunny and shaded with lovely trees and all within walking  distance from the lake.  Staff is friendly and helpful and the park is always clean.  Love the fishing, swimming and hiking.  Beautiful views of the mountains and lake any direction.  Family and pet friendly at a reasonable cost.

Great Sailing

Our visit to Lake Almanor was amazing. My Dad brought his sail boat and the wind was perfect for sailing. The campgrounds are spacious and the restrooms are clean. Their is a nice cafe within walking distance. They do patrol this campground a lot. Keep your dogs on a leash. The small town of Chester is not far away and is a delightful little town. P.S. Could not find my photos :-(....
