VERY IMPORTANT INFO. These campgrounds were ok. There was a fire recently, so not much wildlife. The bathrooms were very well maintained with a light inside and fresh paint. NO SINK OR SHOWER. Campsites very close to each other. Water spout outside bathrooms. Get spot 50 if you can. It's closest to the lake. The camp host was nice. And I really liked the grills on the fire pit. I made Quesadilla'... VERY IMPORTANT INFO. These campgrounds were ok. There was a fire recently, so not much wildlife. The bathrooms were very well maintained with a light inside and fresh paint.

And I really liked the grills on the fire pit. I made Quesadilla's on mine. NOW before going there or leaving your town, be absolutely sure to purchase everything you need for your trip before coming to this town. It has only a few stores that are a rip-off. The two gas stations didn't have prices on anything, so they could charge however they liked. Single cans of BEER were priced almost 5 dollars more than they should be. The town is not worth the visit. The lake was. I didn't see a playground area. It's dog friendly but the ask that you keep them on leashes. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit. And plenty of restrooms scattered through the grounds.

Almanor is a special place, and the Almanor Campgrounds are hard to beat. On the map, it shows only one campground but actually there are 3 separate Forest Service Campgrounds, with a total of about 120 campsites. There is a free boat launch and a wonderful paved bike trail that goes through all of them and follows the lake shore for 11 miles! Free day use areas with picnic tables, and pet friendl...

Beautiful campground. I went to the South. All campsites are huge! Some pit and some flush toilets. No shower. Less than half mile walk to the lake. They always have fireworks every 4th of July. Please support local businesses if you're in the area.

Busy on weekends. Kids have no respect for fishing. Rocks hard on feet for swimming (bring water shoes). Great view! Not much parking. (Weekdays is plenty of parking).
