We have stayed at Catavee three times so far. The sites are spacious and still have a lot of trees for shade (which has become a concern in the area due to beetle issues). You can walk to the lake easily from any site.

Restrooms are always clean and well maintained. No showers.

We like site 12 because it’s like its own island. Plenty of room in all sites for a tent as well as trailer and usually tow vehicle.

Don’t miss Deer Creek that runs adjacent to the campsite. Great serene spot for reading a book or hopping logs to the other side.

There is so much to do in the area! Rancheria Falls, McKinley Grove, Jackass Meadow, Florence Lake, Mushroom Rock, Black Rock Trail and even take the chair lift up China Peak (walk, ride the lift or ride a bike down).
