Rocky Point Campground

Just got back from 3 nights and it was great. We are tent campers so we took s spot close to the lake which was 122. Close to bathrooms (which are pit toilets) and right next to the lake which is down quite a bit. No showers so bring your biodegradable products. No store on site so it’s kind of a haul into Chester to get ice. No animal issues at all, the first night we forgot to get rid of our trash bag and nothing touched it. We did have a snowstorm if little flies like aphids every day starting at about 5. So bad that the dead ones would literally fill your lantern. Overall it was a really fun place to camp and a beautiful lake. People were catching some serious fish there too. Couple of people in our group caught trout that were over 6lbs. That’s a big trout.

Nice location next to Lake Almanor, maybe 14 miles South of Chester, Ca.
Very busy with approx. 130 camp sites. Gets noisy some nights as lots of folks bring extra car loads of people after the check-​in booth closes.
Seems the Southern spots, with highes numbers, are more quiet.
Dump station cost extra to use.

I was staying at a different place, North Shore Campground, but came and drove through this place. It looks very nice, sites look big and clean, all the water front ones look especially inviting. Be sure to stay in your site the first night or they will give your site away.

Made reservations for Rocky Point for the weekend of June 20 – 22, 2014. We arrived almost 2 hours early, (check-​in is not until 2pm) Anyways, our site was clean and ready when we pulled in. I was somewhat annoyed at having to pay $ 1 per pet, per day. I guess they figure there are pet owners who wont pick up after their dogs and re-​coop the cost for having to pick up their crap or something? Staff were very friendly. After checking in, they stopped by the site to make sure we were happy and went about their business. Very quiet campground, we got a spot right on the water so it was nice to have such easy access. Our neighbors had boats and chairs/​EZ up’s etc… set up on the beach, wish we knew we could do this so we could have brought our stuff to set up. Next time. All the spots appear to be very easy to get in and out of with all types of trailers.
We had a hard time finding the garbage, so we kept it at the campsite in the bear box and dumped it at the main entry on our way out. We really enjoyed our stay, and will be back for sure!

I will 1^st start by saying, we have many great memories from years ago at this campground, 10 years ago. Unfortunately, the other reviews are right on… This place now is «Mis» managed by beuracratic camp hosts. They ask you” Why are you riding your bike to and from” «follow you back to your campsite if you are riding a bike on their golf cart» & in general are just a constant irritant! We are law abiding citizens, we own small businesses locally and invest in our community. Unfortunately, this campground is ran by the Big Corporation PG&E from afar, and hire seasonal hosts from out of the area don’t have any investment or care for the local economy, thus the bad attitude. NO GRATITUDE! I apologize for these people only because I say the rest of Plumas & Lassen County appreciates our visitors & the business you bring to our community. I invite you to experience the area without having to be subjected to these beuracratic morons. Please enjoy our area with your families, make cherished memories, just plan to do it at any other of the hosts in the area that will appreciate your visit!
I must mention without going into incredible detail, after booking a 4^th of July stay for 5 nights, three months prior for our family with 2 little boys… Our campsite was «given away at 2:00″. We had had trailer and boat issues, there is not a „local“number to call to the host that put us behind a day. We were paid in full. Just outside where are they We were told they had tried to contact us that afternoon, when we were enroute with no cell service to tell us they were giving our site up if we did not call them back. Well, if we don’t have cell service how do we call you back, let alone know you called. I originally had gone on the site to print the „fine print“ during our reservation and did not see anything with these type of terms. I of course was made aware by these camp hosts that „you clicked the acceptance of terms“ to get into make your reservations. There you have it in a Nutshell, your 4^th of July camp vacation is handed to you on a platter with legalistic jargon, no attempt to help and heartless comments. There was no offer to accommodate in sites that didn’t occupy until the next day after 11 am just to give us a place to sleep for night, while we came up with a new game plan or drive home… After all that we were handed the 1 800 # for the Sacramento office for PG&E and we’re reminded they wouldn’t be open for the holiday! Really? When I asked about getting my money back for 5 days of camping…“ you will need to call the 1 – 800 #».
Absolutely absurd! Hard to believe? Yes. But then again as we drove away we thought, this is absolutely happening to us, this is what vacation nightmares are made of!
These people don’t care!!! Beware!
They double book just like any airline out there… they are worse tho… I didn’t even get a voucher for a future flight!

We are repeat campers, love this beautiful, peaceful place! It can be crowded during holidays, but the layout gives each campsite plenty of room. Not a fan of pit toilets, but they are kept very clean. If you don’t get a spot by the water, there is still pretty easy access. You can leave your chairs and floaties by the lake all night, nobody bothers anyone else’s belongings. In fact, we always have a good time with our neighbors and have made new friends. WARNING: do not stay in Loop 1 if you can avoid it. The camp Hosts are constantly hovering, if fact they make the rounds at 10 pm every night telling each camp site that it’s basically bedtime. Several times they appeared out of nowhere (it was a little creepy), like junior high dance chaperones. Camp hosts at the other loops are great, though, very helpful and friendly. Costs have risen for all PG&E campgrounds, but overall its worth it.

I camped here for the first time last week. We usually camp down the road because Rocky Point is always super, super crowded. But it was fairly empty last week. We got site #109 which is right on the lake. We pitched our tent on the beach. Magical. But let’s be clear: this experience will never be repeated once summer is in full swing because the boaters pull their boats right up to the shore all summer long. I could never have this experience past 4 July. The bathrooms are pit toilets. Still! Weird, since PGE owns this camp. You’d think they could put in flushies. The trash cans are few and far between. When we checked in we were given a stern lecture about cleaning the fire pit before checking out. However, when we checked IN, our fire pit had eggshells, a plastic fork and a beercan. The campground host was nice enough. For the price, not really worth it unless you catch the place empty when we did.
