Boulder Creek Campground

1 Review Add Review

Where the Sierra Nevada foothills meet Plumas National Forest, Boulder Creek Campground provides drive-in and boat-in access to Antelope Lake. The US Forest Service manages this seasonal facility from late May through early September, accommodating RVs up to 40 feet with standard amenities including drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables.

Recent visitors note the $30 nightly fee for sites with pit toilets, though enforcement of parking and quiet hours appears inconsistent. The campground offers campgrounds near Plumas National Forest for those exploring the region's lake-based recreation opportunities.

Beautiful

This campground is beautiful. I’m bummed about the new management company charging $30 a night. It’s not worth $30 a night for pit toilets. There were campground hosts roaming around but they didn’t seem to be enforcing rules, like only parking on the pavement and the noise curfew. Antelope Lake is always gorgeous though and worth the trip.
