Plumas-Eureka State Park Campground sits within the Sierra Nevada foothills near Blairsden, where Jamison Creek flows through the camping area. The 67-site campground provides both RV hookups and tent camping options, with sites varying in privacy and creek proximity. Site 52 toward the back offers more seclusion, while creek-adjacent spots like site 36 provide water sounds throughout the night.
The campground features flush toilets, hot showers, water spigots, and bear boxes at each site. Black bears frequent the area, making proper food storage essential. Mountain lions also inhabit the surrounding terrain, though sightings remain rare. Several hiking trails begin directly from the campground, including the 3-mile route to Jamison Lake and paths leading to Wade's Lake via the historic Jamison Mine trailhead.
"A creek runs through it," notes Kelly S., describing the waterway that provides natural cooling during summer months. The campground maintains a quiet atmosphere even when full, with limited cell phone coverage adding to the disconnected experience. Sites accommodate varying group sizes, though some restrict tent numbers. For additional camping options in the region, explore places to camp around Graeagle.
The campground works well for families seeking amenities alongside creek access, hikers wanting trailhead proximity, and RV campers needing full hookups in a forested mountain setting.
