Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve group sites well in advance through Recreation.gov for Corps of Engineers and Forest Service campgrounds, as popular locations like Bidwell Point and White Rock Mountain book 6-12 months ahead for peak season weekends.
  • 2Designate a group leader to handle the single reservation and coordinate arrival times, as most group sites require check-in by a specific time and may charge no-show fees.
  • 3Bring extra-long extension cords and power strips, since group pavilions typically offer limited electrical outlets for the number of people using them.
  • 4Pack comprehensive first aid supplies and ensure at least two group members know CPR, as remote locations may be 30+ minutes from emergency services.
