About Rock Creek Campground (Ca)

Tucked away in the towering conifers of Plumas National Forest, Rock Creek Campground offers an intimate escape with just six first-come, first-served sites. This hidden gem serves as your gateway to miles of backcountry trails and OHV routes, where solitude and adventure meet beneath the forest canopy.
The campground contains six campsites that are operated on a first-come/first-serve basis and is situated in a mixed conifer forest with access to backcountry trails and Rock Creek.
Natural Features and SceneryRock Creek meanders gently through the campground, its peaceful waters providing a soothing soundtrack to your stay. Surrounded by a diverse mix of conifers that filter dappled sunlight onto the forest floor, the campground sits at the threshold of extensive backcountry terrain. From here, OHV enthusiasts and backcountry explorers can venture deep into the Plumas wilderness, following routes that wind through pristine forest landscapes where wildlife sightings are common and cell service is blissfully absent.
