    Awesome location. But weekend was completely ruined by super rude camp hosts. Not family friendly all... definitely never coming back.

    This is a gem of a campground in Plumas County at Bucks Lake. It is a PG&E campground and sites can…read morebe reserved at www.recreation.pge.com. There are a handful of sites that are also first come first served near the campground host site. Some of the sites have really nice old rock built stoves that you can build a fire in fry up a fish or whatever you like. I also like the fact there is a little general store within walking distance. The campground has a boat launch, and rv dump station. It is very beautiful with tall pine trees and is very pristine. The campground is immaculately kept clean by the hosts. No cell phone coverage there but there is a public pay phone at the general store.

    This is a well-maintained overnight campground in a beautiful location near the Haskins Bay area of…read moreBucks Lake. From their website: Nestled among scented pine trees in a deep cove at the south end of Bucks Lake, Haskins Valley Campground is a popular vacation spot in California's Plumas County. A portion of the 65 campsites can now be reserved through the handy online system. Haskins Valley Campground has a trailer/camper sanitary station, double vault toilets and a nearby boat ramp. RVs up to 40 feet in length can be accommodated on a few of the no-hookup sites, which feature tables, food lockers, fire rings with grill and piped water. The campground is part of Pacific Gas and Electric Co.'s recreation area which centers around enticing Bucks Lake. The lake is home to five kinds of sport fish, and is a terrific place to swim, boat and water ski. It is remote, but there is a general store just across the street should you need anything. No flushing toilets, but everything seemed clean and orderly. For 4th of July weekend it was still relatively quiet, the weather was fantastic and the swimming really is perfect! I would return.

Once at the campground loop E sites #23 to #60 the road is a different story. Very narrow and there's 1 pretty hard corner, it's not impossible to make even in our 40 foot motorhome. But it's not for novice driver. We watched many rigs slow to a crawl and inch their way around it. PS - Bears do visit this campground!!!

The host was aware of rain for the evening and offered us a site that was a little more enclosed and protected from the storm. It also happened to be about 3 times larger than our original two sites (which was really nice for us). The water is definitely not great for kayaking but seems to be really nice for boating and such. There is a path that goes around the campground and through the campground next door. You can see views of the reservoir and lots of beautiful pine trees, etc. If you walk far enough you will end up at Maidu Beach which has a boat launch and a nice place to enter the water. Note: Once you book your site there will be instructions on how to get to Red Feather. Print the instructions and follow them. Do Not try to find the campground via your smart phone app, etc. you will get lost! The smart phone will tell you to turn right on Silver Tip Springs Road, INCORRECT. Other people traveling to the campground got lost this way too.

    After staying here for a week I figured I should write a review for this place. Overall it was a…read morevery good stay. The campground is about 3 miles off of Prattville Butt Reservoir Road. It's a narrow and winding road with steep grades so be cautious. Once inside the campground you will find signs clearly marking the sites so finding where you need to be shouldn't be an issue. The sites are spaced far enough apart and are decent size as to not be a problem with your neighbors. Parking spots are also fairly large. We easily parked two vehicles in one spot. There was a faucet fairly close to our site, but they ask that you do not wash at it. We took paper plates with us, so that wasn't a big deal. Trash bins are few and far. I only saw two dumpsters (there might be more, not sure) and for us they were a bit of a walk. No big deal, though. We just saved our trash in a bag and hiked it over at the end of the day. The camp hosts seemed friendly. No problems with them to report. They were always buzzing around in their golf carts checking on things and cleaning up after slobs. Cell service is obtainable. I use Verizon and had to drive back out towards Prattville Butt Reservoir Road about 1.5 miles to get a signal, but I did get connected. During our stay the campground literally went silent at 9:00pm. Not sure why, but it seemed the entire population all went to sleep at the same time. The town of Chester is only about a 12 mile drive from the campground, so if you forgot something you might be able to just drive into town and get it. The wildlife was our only worry. During our stay there was a report of a bear wondering around. We never saw it, though. There are food lockers, but most are made of old plywood. I can't see those being much use against a bear. We just put all our food in the car at the end of the day. Bear spray is something you might consider as a "just in case" item. Hornets and flies were another issue, but when you are out in nature like that what can one expect? Chipmunks were running all over the place and were very entertaining to watch. They didn't cause any problems, and didn't try to steal anything. In conclusion I would rate this campground 5 stars. We had a great time just relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. I was able to fly a small drone (DJI Mini 2) around and snap a bunch of photos. I posted some here. Just a side note: The Dixi Fire burned right to the edge of the campground, so that much was saved and is still worth a visit. The grounds were not effected by the fire.

When we came by it wasn't open for the season yet. Most of the roads surrounding the campgrounds are dirt with a small strip of asphalt right in front of the campgrounds. The dirt roads are maintained well. There is a boat launch about a mile and a half from here with a picnic area.
