Nothing beats fresh, cold, clean water from\u00a0the California\u00a0mountains, in the summertime. Find time to exit the urban rat race, soon. Escape the smoggy city life and the triple-digit heat for a road trip to the higher elevations.<\/p>\n

Lake Campgrounds are abundant in\u00a0California<\/strong>, where man-made reservoirs and\u00a0recreation abound. Alpine lakes in pine forests are also numerous in the west, although only accessible for a portion of the year, they\u00a0draw\u00a0in the campers all summer long. A majority of the small lakes\u00a0are located inside the California\u00a0National Forests.

Larger reservoirs can often be managed by California State Park system. State Parks, SRA, State Recreation Area. Suburban lake locations can be\u00a0local County Parks. A few locations listed could even\u00a0be desert lakes.<\/p>\n

Many ideal secluded lakes are only accessible with a 4WD vehicle, by foot or horseback. Super scenic, backcountry lakes are so far out – that a day hike is usually required.<\/p>\n

No motorized boats, camping on west shoreline only, no fishing from the dam, catch & release?<\/p>\n

No access for trailers? Individual rules for each lake are\u00a0different. Learn the basic before you get out there.<\/p>\n

CAMPGROUND RESERVATIONS\u00a0\"tent<\/p>\n

Lake Campgrounds are so popular in California\u00a0that many require reservations during summer. Many locations accept reservations online and we have links for those too. Other lakes are so small and remote, that only the fishermen, hikers and 4×4\u00a0gear-heads know of\u00a0them.<\/p>\n
