Ponderosa Flat Campground

Ponderosa Flat Campground is located in the ponderosa pine forest along the shores of Butt Lake in Northern California's Plumas County. Many of its sites are on the shoreline and several sites are now available by reservation using our online system. The rustic campsites do not have any hook-ups, but vault toilets, fire-rings, and potable water are available. There are no bear boxes present, so please remember to store all food items in vehicles overnight to avoid issues with bears. Canoeing, kayaking and sail boating are popular activities on the lake. Motorized fishing boats are allowed, but water skiing and jet skiing are not. A 30' height restriction, including mast is enforced. Nearby Ray Adams Boat ramp (approx. 1 mile south of CG) is a concrete, single lane ramp with no courtesy dock and limited trailer parking area. No launch fee is required.
