Campground loops around in the hills overlooking the lake providing most campsites with sweeping views of the lake's crystal blue water. Pine forest gives most campsites plenty of afternoon shade. A boat ramp and RV dump station are nearby. A trailhead for 7 mi long Lake Davis Trail is less than half a mile away.

What Guests Are Saying

Grasshopper Flat offers a beautiful, well-maintained campground with friendly hosts, particularly praised for their helpfulness and knowledge of the area. The clean facilities and peaceful atmosphere make it ideal for family camping, though visitors should be aware of bear activity and the lack of bear boxes. Some campsites are closely spaced, and parking rules can be strict, but overall, guests find the experience relaxing and enjoyable.

Awesome site and friendly hosts. This group site is well away from others and has beautiful views of the lake. Bears are active here so be aware. Coin showers are two loops away or can be driven to. Toilets in the third loop work again this year! The group site can easily accommodate three trailers. No hookups, but there is a water spigot dedicated to this site. Three large picnic tables. Plenty of tent space.

My only peace in life is when I'm spending time in God's country. Although no snow in late December, 😡 I still explore, hike and sit beside a warm fire 🔥 when I get a chance.

I find beauty in everything I see, taste and feel, and even though I have not had my snow this year to snowshoe, 🎿 I'm grateful that I can still find my solitude beside a raging river with a campfire as I welcome the storm. Plumas National Forest is beautiful in her own way. It's not my Montana, but she's a good runner up. 🏔️🔥🍁🪵🏞️

The campground is large and well spaced, never felkt crowded. The lake is quite beautiful and there are trails down to and along the lake but not around the lake. The restrooms were nice and well maintained.

It was a bit confusing to choose a spot, so we didn''t get site we would have liked, but, i think we could have. Other than that, the site was clean and well maintained.

Camp host ‘patty’ was extraordinaire in her duties and presence! Loved that the fire trucks came through daily and the ranger kept track of coolers and food that needed to put up from bears. Campsites were clean and nice views of the lake.

So many things to recommend about this campground. It was so quiet. (We were there M-R in mid August so that may have had something to do with it.) Most of the sites are quite large and in good condition. The bathrooms were clean. The campground was clean. I credit the camp host (Patti) for the good condition. She was quite visible (but never intrusive) going about her host duties. There were concerns about bears (noted in other reviews) and Patti warned us about them, but told us what we needed to know to be "bear aware," and we had zero problems. There is a little general store a mile away with delightful people and inexpensive firewood and bags of ice and other small amenities that are nice to have nearby. The drive to the campground is also very pleasant and easy.
