Brandy Creek campground is awesome I've been going there my whole life and I loved bringing my kids their. We Love going kayaking nowadays to all the different locations that are not accessible by vehicle. I like that it's well taken care of and we can load our kayaks on the side of the boat launch areas. It's great that the bathrooms are clean and stocked every time I go in there.

This was our first trip out with the new trailer, it was windy, cold, rainy, and absolutely stunning. The Carr fire really did a number on this place. You have to use your imagination in most places around here to see what once was but the campground survived fine. Unfortunately most of the trails were closed for safety concerns but we did manage to get on a couple, and do some sight seeing. Whisk... This was our first trip out with the new trailer, it was windy, cold, rainy, and absolutely stunning. The Carr fire really did a number on this place. You have to use your imagination in most places around here to see what once was but the campground survived fine. Unfortunately most of the trails were closed for safety concerns but we did manage to get on a couple, and do some sight seeing. Whisky town access is closed at the temporary bridge for non-authorized access. I'm assuming the town didn't make it either. We had the camp host a .25 mile from us, and on the second day another camper came in another .25 mile past them. Very solitary, and peaceful. The first night the very friendly camp host stopped by to warn us that in our exact spot someone stole a generator, but I lock mine to the trailer so it's harder to take. He also warned us that there was a bear in the area, that it was docile but would for sure come in to check for snacks. True to his word, I woke up the next morning, after cooking sausages the night before, I put the grill in the back hatch and there were bear prints on the hatch where she came in to take a sniff. No damage. The next night, I was outside about an hour after sunset, having a cigar, listening to both kinds of music, country and western, when I got that hair tingling sensation on the back of my neck. When I looked to my right, she was no more than 8' from me licking the ground, not caring about me at all. I cooked breakfast on the griddle in the wind that morning and it didn't stay fully contained, and she came in to clean up. I ran her off, but she didn't seem to care much. I finally got her up a tree, while I was trying to run her off for the night. She was having none of it and just chilled out up there. About an hour later, wife and I were watching a movie when I looked out and she was back. Apparently she's a transplant, after recovery from another fire. She's obviously used to humans, so don't be the one that feeds her or acclimates her more to humans. We want her to be wild and free, and not start causing damage to your stuff, or being a nuisance.

That's just a parking lot. Neighbors are right next to each other without any trees or bushes in between. No fire ring or grill. There is a pinic table for each spot. But there are many yellow jacket and mosquito, making it difficult to sit outside during the day. At night time it was alright tho. This site is 15 miles off i5.

This site is 15 miles off i5. It's located in a park area where entrance fee is required, that makes the campsite much more expensive. This area had the whiskey lake. From what I can tell it's just a man made lake, formed by a dam. It could be a nice spot for fishing etc. But it's not even comparable to Lake Tahoe, Crater Lake etc. Why they want a entrance fee is beyond me. Clear Lake is not too far away and it a great spot for fishing, no entrance fee required.
