Camping at Boulder Creek (Ca)

Public campground · 35 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Boulder Creek Campground sits in the northern Sierra Nevada within Plumas National Forest at about 5,000 feet elevation, on the forested shore of Antelope Lake a small, remote reservoir with roughly 15 miles of shoreline. Pines and firs (Jeffrey and lodgepole among them) crowd the hills around the water, and protected coves draw migratory birds, so the setting feels wooded and quiet rather than open and lakeside; none of the sites are directly on the water, though a few offer limited lake views and most are only a short walk from the shore.

“Beautiful rustic campground. I stayed for 4 nights over4th of July. My family and I had the time of our lives. No cell service. 40 mins to closest store for ice or necessities, but the drive is breathtaking. ”

How far ahead to book Boulder Creek (Ca)

For May weekends, book about 59 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 23 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,954 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
