Plumas-Eureka State Park — Attraction in California

This is the best state campground I know of in California. The amenities are fabulous. The only deficiency is the lack of pictures of the campsites for reservation purposes. Because this is not available anywhere (at a quality level) I am posting below pictures of all the campsites. I can only upload 50 at a time so at least some of them can be observed. Note that these pictures were taken around noon (two separate days) to show the available shade for each site. If you have solar cells you might want to snag one in the hot sun.

The bear boxes are high up, out in the sun and do not accommodate very tall ice chests. You have to pull the chest out to open the lid to access the inside of the ice chest.

The historic gold mining town is great and they play a video on the history of the gold rush if you ask for it.

I will also provide a map I corrected and labeled that shows the location of all the campsites. Note that some have a grouped parking area (not good for trailers, etc.).

We found a couple of gold nuggets in the streams while there the last time. One was about an ounce or so. The mountain there is loaded with gold. A docent said that if they were to mine that mountain with modern gold-mining techniques the worldwide price of gold would collapse to $250 an ounce.

Oh, just kidding about the gold nuggets (we DID NOT find) but I did learn or read that one camper did look down from the bridge and spotted a gold nugget that weighed in at an ounce. That would definitely make it worthwhile camping in this...

This has consistently been an amazing place to camp. They have bathrooms with running water, some SHOWERS, hose bibs are common around sites. There’s usually a picnic table, a fire pit, and a bear locker at every site. Around 4th of July it gets very busy because of the fun activities in Graegle. The frostee place on the way to the camp site is worth it. It will be a long low red building, and the sign is pretty noticeable. Multitudes of hikes no matter which direction you go. Trails not needed. See waterfalls and pools up the creek, as well as some patches of peaceful open areas spread throughout the thick trees. The air smells special and fresh. The stars at night are unbelievably fun to sleep under...

The Park Ranger on duty at the museum was very professional, friendly, and awesome! She deserves a big "Thank You" and was the best part of our visit!

I have been visiting, camping, fishing, and hiking in the park off and on for over fifty-five years! The park is nothing like it used to be, what a great loss! The camp host Dan was unprofessional, disrespectful, and lacked historical / current knowledge of the campground! He also lacked knowledge of the fishing / stream access within the campground! I will be filing complaints with the California Parks and Recreation Department, California Department of Fish & Wildlife, Plumas Eureka State Park, as well as...
