Arnold is popular during peak season. Reserve 2-4 weeks in advance for weekends and holidays.
Most parks have check-in after 1:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. Call ahead if you'll arrive late.
California weather can change quickly. Pack layers and check the forecast for Arnold.
Don't miss local attractions near Arnold. Ask the camp host for hidden gems and trails.

Lots fun man had a great time. Watch out for campsite raiders it can get a little frisky at night. Mark your territory 🥀 When we went, fishies were very sparse. So beautiful though reminds me of Canada

We stayed there for 2 nights.. Surrounded by the wildness.. What a peaceful place! We were lucky.. Being the only guests there😁. Stayed at the spot 14, close to the clear lake.. Swam, too.. Very challenging but great, though.. Took a 24 km trip up to the mountains, all over the neighboring lakes, Alpine lake, Mosquito lake... We will never forget this amazing spot. Bruce enjoy yourself and please pet Tracy for me.. Please ❤️ 💯 🌹

Heaven on earth with first come first serve camping no reservations. Which is a miracle in this time when people are online six months and a day prior to the time they can go camping. If you can get there by Thursday you can usually camp for the whole weekend no problem. If possible I prefer a weekday camping when there are fewer people around in the summer.

It is not easy to get there driving the dirt road about 30 min. When you walk through the trail and once you climb up one of a huge rock, then, you will see the amazing landscape, the lake, forest, mountains are so beautiful. it really makes me feel comfortable.

Beautiful reservoir. Awesome camping spots and day use areas. Camping is only $16 per night per site. 6 people per site allowed. Dogs must be leashed. Handful of sites that will fit some RVs that aren't over 25ft. Most sites are sized better for tents.
