Rocky Point West sits within Lassen National Forest near Eagle Lake, reached by a narrow gravel and sand road with at least one sharp, steep curve at the entrance. The terrain near the water is relatively flat. Rigs longer than 19 feet will have serious trouble navigating the turn and finding space to reverse, and the road ends without warning, requiring campers to turn around on grass and rock. No cell service is available. Mosquitoes are notably heavy, especially at dusk. Campers who can handle the access and bring serious insect protection will find tent sites near Lassen National Forest in the surrounding forest if this spot fills or doesn't suit. Rocky Point East sits just over a mile away for a comparable alternative.
