Weather at Rocky Point Campground

Best Time to Camp at Rocky Point Campground

Summer delivers the most reliable conditions. Daytime highs reach the mid-70s to low-80s F, evenings cool into the 40s–50s. Swimming, boating, and shoreline fishing peak then, and trails stay dry. Holiday weekends fill fast. Dry spells can trigger campfire restrictions, so check current regulations before you go. Winter temperatures drop into the 30s, and the campground functions primarily as a warm-weather destination from late spring through early fall.

About Rocky Point Campground

Rocky Point Campground sits on the west shore of Lake Almanor at 4,678 feet, managed by PG&E near Susanville. The campground handles both tents and large RVs, with vault toilets, potable water, and a dump station. Many sites face the lake, and reviews consistently praise the waterfront access and clean facilities.

Sites accommodate both tents and RVs (including room for big rigs); some waterfront sites and a first-come sandy beach section are reported.

Natural Features and SceneryPine forest meets Lake Almanor's shoreline here, with many sites opening directly onto the water. The trees provide shade and frame wide sunset views across the lake. White-headed woodpeckers move through the pines overhead. The first-come, first-served area includes a sandy beach where you can launch a kayak or wade in. The surrounding terrain is gentle Lassen National Forest foothill country, forested and walkable, with the lake stretching out wide enough to feel expansive without losing the sheltered character of the shoreline.

Scenic ViewsLake Almanor views from many campsites, including scenic water vistas and sunsets.

Go if

Boaters, kayakers, and lake anglers who can snag a waterfront site early on UseDirect. The first-come, first-served beach section is worth arriving for if reservations are gone, and the dump station makes this workable for self-contained RVs.

Skip if

Hookups or showers are non-negotiable for your crew. Also worth noting: reviewers report more friction with camp hosts here than at comparable spots, including site-assignment mix-ups and strict enforcement that some found confrontational rather than helpful.
