For all the reviews that complain about not being able to swim in the lake, well that isn’t up to these folks, the lake itself isn’t in their purview. When I was a kid we went camping all the time because it was cheap but that’s not the case anymore, except for a few places here and there and when they are cheap they aren’t usually that great. I can’t believe it’s only 20 bucks a night. This place is wonderful!!! I have been camping my whole life (mainly in CA) and this is now one of my favorite spots. This may change as clean up work progresses through the year. Sorry, we DO NOT allow towed-in-and-dropped-off campers or 5th wheel trailers at this time. TOW VEHICLES MUST STAY THE DURATION OF THE CAMPING VISIT.

There is plenty of room for parking large vehicles and for turning around.

Both are correct, though may give different search results. The modern listings spell the name Concow, Ancestors spelled it Konkow. All Campground faucets supply delicious, potable water tested regularly. Good hiking shoes, protective clothing, and hats are recommended. The Campground is a Pack In/Pack Out location and garbage cans are supplied near the office house near the entrance. The list of year round residents may include poison oak, thorny berry vines, mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, deer, eagles, osprey, owls, squirrels, skunks, foxes, bears, mountain lions, snakes, bats, and more. Please be responsible for personal camp supplies and trash. Please be aware of and give respectful space to all of the residents of the park. The Lake Concow/Konkow Campground is a wilderness sanctuary and houses many variety of rare and endangered plants, animals, and insects. Fires are permitted in the central pit when weather allows. The site also features lakefront shoreline access for bank fishing, a central fire pit and lots of space for group camping. We provide a variety of recovering wilderness areas near water faucets, pit toilets and an RV dump station. Our site features mature forests, grassy meadows, a year-round creek in a fire recovery zone. Stargaze or fly kites in our Great Meadow or admire copious wildflowers and other native plants on over 80 acres of wilderness. Surviving forests of mature cedars, pines, oaks, and madrones provide shady camping, fishing along the lake shore, or picnicing along the banks of the creek that runs through a recovering creekside area. We hope to see you real soon. Visit, fish, or camp in a rare jewel forest, hidden in the Sierra/Cascade foothills, less than an hour's drive to Chico, Oroville, or Paradise. Thank you to all visitors who love this place for your patience as we continue to improve the features of the Campground. We are reopened even as repairs and upgrades are being made. We look forward to your post fire visit.Ĭongratulations Campers! The campground is reopened after the last couple of years of wild fires and tough winters. In recent history, a multi-cultural group of community members formed the Konkow Partnership to attempt to hold, steward, and preserve the wilderness that survives here. European settlers arrived and took control of the area. Ancestors of Maidu people lived here long ago.
