Almanor

Everything was good, needs more maintenance men’s bathrooms were not open was ok they were able to use women’s but still, outlets did not work in bathroom. No bear food lockers keep your food in your car, never out we did get a bear visit us at our site and got into our food took a lot of it. Overall was a good experience a lot of space on sites far from others sites. BEAR DOES COME VISIT PEOPLES SITES.

When work was planned in the campground, the women at the NF office for the campground kept us quite up-to-date with what was going on.
Our site was ready when we arrived and marked with our reservation. They went ABOVE & BEYOND!!

The lake is beautiful and the facilities pretty decent but we had an issue with the park service handling the reservation. They are doing renovations and were closing campgrounds in order to replace bathrooms. The problem was, the rangers failed to notify us (they acknowledged that) so we were put in the position of having to find a temporary space then move for the last two days. Most of the bathrooms were locked and campers had to use port-a-potties or hike to a vault toilet. I realize this was an exception and next summer will be different but not impressed with the way the reservations were handled.

Our campsite was lovely. It was very easy to find and had running drinking water. We parked 2 vehicles easily and the campsite was very clean.

Plumas pines has everything

Lake Resort Dinner

Golfing near by at Almanor West

The lake, the nearby, free, public boat launch, and the Plumas Pines marina, restaurant and resort are the big attractions of the Lake Almanor Campground. Although the huge 2021 Dixie fire burned a lot of the forest nearby, the Almanor South campground, the Plumas Pines resort and the city of Chester were not directly affected. We had a great time and rented jet ski's at the marina which also rents ski boats, pontoon boats, kayaks etc. The camp host was very friendly and helpful.

Camp Host was so helpful! He went well beyond normal service to make sure everyone was a Happy Camper! Site and Lake were so beautiful and bike trail that runs right through the camp was fantastic!

We stayed for 4 nights and site #5 in a class B Sprinter. It was an excellent site, paved, flat and quiet, right across from the restroom. There was quite a bit of shade and the table was about 50 ft away from the parking site. The campground is very nice overall with sites spaced a good distance apart. There is a lot to do in the area as far as biking and hiking goes. Mt Lassen National Park was basically closed due to heavy snow pack. We had been there a number of times and it's a gem, off the beaten path. There is an incredible paved bike trail all along the Lake about 15 miles long accessible from the campground. There are a few hills, easily manageable, and it's also through the forest. There is a very good restaurant about 1 mile away, Plumas Pines, I believe is the name. The Lake was ¼ mile walk from the camp. Steve, the host was exceptional. He was helpful and willing to help with what ever you need. I would return to this campground.

Almanor campground south site#12. Large site with good shade for tent. New metal picnic table. Drinking water and restroom near by. 40 ft. back in driveway sufficient for truck and boat.
