Go if

Lake Oroville regulars who already own a boat and are chasing a site that cars can't reach. Sites 24 and 26 get the best view marks from campers, and summer evenings on the water justify the $45 and the self-supply effort.

Skip if

No potable water on-site means hauling every drop yourself, and no fire rings limits evening camp cooking to a BBQ grill. Campers expecting even basic comforts will find this too stripped-down for the price.

Bloomer Knoll Boat-In Campground

Bloomer Knoll Boat-in Campground sits on Lake Oroville's shoreline, accessible only by watercraft. The campground has 5 primitive sites priced at $45 per night, each with a picnic table and combination grill. Sites are tucked into curves of the terrain and oak trees, creating good spacing and seclusion despite the small campground size. The elevated position above the lake means there's no direct water access from campsites.
