Orland Buttes Recreation Area sits on the north end of the Sacramento Valley at Black Butte Lake, roughly 100 miles north of Sacramento and about 30 miles south of Red Bluff. The lake was created in 1963 with the completion of Black Butte Dam on Stony Creek and, when water is high, covers about 4,460 acres with roughly 40 miles of shoreline.










Length limits vary by campsite.

“Wonderful campsite. The facilities were good. Beautiful time of year (mid-May), and lots of amazing birds and raptors. We also had fun at the Disc golf course next door. Good hiking in the area. ”
“There are very low tree branches over many of the sites. One of them ripped the TV antenna off the roof of our 5th wheel. ”

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 (4,093 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.
