Snake Lake Campground

Snake Lake Campground is a rustic, first-come, first-served Forest Service campground with 17 sites (8 with equestrian corrals) located 8 miles from Quincy in Plumas National Forest at 3,900 feet elevation.

The campground offers vault toilets, fire rings, and bear boxes, but has no potable water, hookups, or services in winter; it serves as a multi-use hub with direct access to OHV trails and is suitable for tent camping, RVs, and horse camping.

Non-motorized boating is available on the shallow, lily pad-filled lake, though swimming is not recommended.
