Oak Bottom Campground is the only campground within Whiskeytown NRA located directly on Whiskeytown Lake's shores, offering 92 tent sites (walk-in only, 50-250 feet from parking) with many featuring private water access and direct shoreline sites ideal for kayaking and paddling.

The campground provides essential amenities including a boat ramp, marina with rentals, camp store, coin-operated showers, and fire rings, making it a convenient base for water recreation; note that sites can be crowded during peak season and the walk-in requirement means gear must be transported via provided wheelbarrows.
