Camp at Last Chance Creek Campground on Lake Almanor

Plumas County, California

Description

Beautiful and secluded, the Last Chance Campground is often less busy than other campsites around Lake Almanor.

This PG&E campsite is located on the northern most inlet of Lake Almanor and is slightly more remote than the other sites around Lake Almanor. The campground offers spectacular views and easy access to great fishing.

To get there, head east out of the town of Chester on Highway 36. After crossing the bridge take the first left onto a dirt road. The road is directly across from the entrance to the North Shore Campground. Take this road for roughly four miles until you arrive at the camp.

These sites are first come first serve. You can get more information on PG&E's website.

Backpack the Caribou Wilderness Lakes Loop

The caribou lakes loop is very laid back, making it a great start for first time backpackers and kids. Word of caution: in the summer the mosquitos are plenty, I'd recommend this loop for the fall. From the parking lot there is a visible sign pointing you in the direction of the trailhead near Caribou Lake, once you get the lake the trail begins behind the information sign for the area. :) Supe...

Devils Kitchen Trail

Your hike to Devils Kitchen will start from Warner Valley Campground. The hike starts out thorough the valley and eventually winds through the forest and ends at the top of the Devils Kitchen site. You'll then hike down the hill a bit and get to explore the area! There are pretty specific walking paths for you to stick to as people have fallen through the soft ground into the thermal mud and b...

Camp at Warner Valley

Warner Valley Campground is at the end of Warner Valley Road. It's 16 dollars a night at a first come first serve basis. As far as the campground it self, there are a few bathrooms and each site has a fire ring and a picnic table. There are 17 sites which isn't a ton but since it's a fairly unused area so you should have no problem getting a spot.There are so many things to do and see in the ar...

Drake Lake Trail

The hike starts at the Warner Valley Trailhead and winds up the mountain until you reach the lake. The first 2 miles or so are very pleasant walk through the woods until you reach the last portion which is essentially straight up the mountain side. This portion of the trail can be very slippery because of the steep nature of the trail and the loose rock. Though this part of the hike is pretty...

Boiling Springs Lake Loop

The hike to Boiling Springs Lake starts at the Warner Valley Trailhead and is only a 3 mile roundtrip hike. It's a fairly easy hike that starts through the valley and then winds up through the forest and eventually opens up to the lake. First thing you'll notice as you approach the lake is the sulfur smell followed by the turquoise, green/brown water. The lake itself is more of a pond but the...
