About Roubaix Lake

Roubaix Campground is tucked into a grove of Ponderosa pines along its namesake lake. With a popular swim beach and opportunities for non motorized boating and paddling, campsites are dispersed among four loops, and many offer lake views. At an elevation of 5.5 ft, this camp remains comfortable on hot summer days, and sites are spaced far enough apart to offer ample privacy. This popular camp makes a great base for exploring all the activities and attractions at the lake and in the surrounding area.

Easily one of my favorite campgrounds in the hills! Our last stay there was just as great as all the others and the hosts were really nice.

The campsites were roomy, but a lot do not offer shade. We were fortunate they let us switch from our original campsite, as our original was directly next to the out house with zero shade. It was very hot, and very smelly. We didn't realize there would be no flushable toilets or showers on site, but that was our fault for not paying closer attention to the amenities when we booked. The lake was fun for kids--but over run with geese and our experience with other patrons was less than desirable. There was a lot of cigarette smoke and adults partying while kids ran wild. I'm all for having a beer at the beach, but don't appreciate the smoke with children all around. Campsites were clean, host was accommodating, but I don't think my family would stay again.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
