Running Deer Campground
Running Deer Campground
Running Deer Campground offers 40 single-family campsites on the eastern shore of Little Grass Valley Reservoir at 5,060 feet elevation, with a boat ramp available on-site for water access.
The campground features paved roads and parking pads, flush toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings, though it is currently closed for the 2026 season due to water system maintenance and upgrades.
Six prime lakeside sites provide direct lake views, and the location serves as a gateway to the 14. 5-mile Lakeshore Trail and connections to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
