Snake Lake Campground

May 22nd Thru May 24th

Found a fantastic spot right next to the lake with a fantastic view. The campground was very clean except for the bathrooms. 5 vault toilets. The handicapped one was out of order because of flooding. There is a large group picnic area in the middle of the campground along with above the bathrooms are two horse corrals. I counted around 15 campsites many allowed horses. There is no water at the campground other than the lake so either purify/boil or bring your own. I would of stayed longer but there was a creepy old guy that was making rude remarks and sneaking about my camp late at night Tuesday. I thought it best to move to another campground Wednesday morning.

The road was paved all the way in to the campground.

My Phone is Project WiFi: I would get intermittent service.

Stayed here 1 night with my boyfriend. Arrived late on a Friday night and accidentally ran into a group site with some loud folks who ran us off told us "go back to where you came from." Went to the main campground and some guy (nice and friendly) solicited weed and acid for sale. His boxer/pit bull was roaming in our site and he pulled up his shirt to show us his bite wound from his dog. Overall the campground was nice but the people made it uncomfortable.

Snake Lake Campground is currently a free boondocking location in the Plumas National Forest. There is a sign posted on the information board indicating that there MAY be fees charged in 2020 and a concessionaire in place to bring improvements to the campground. It was an improved campground at one time with vault toilets, picnic tables and Bear Lockers. Currently the toilets and grounds are usable but in disrepair. Many Campsites are unlevel with the Lakeside sites the best option for RV’s. A 28’ Class A Winnebago fit just fine. Snake Lake is covered mostly with Lily pad and very brushy along the shoreline. Pretty much unusable for recreation. This campground is also an equestrian area and has horse corral’s on site.
