Overview

Greenville Campground (3,500 feet) is a small campground, located on Plumas National Forest on the edge of scenic Indian Valley near CA Hwy 70, approximately one mile from the historic town of Greenville, CA. Conveniently located, numerous attractions are an easy drive in almost any direction!

Recreation

Beautiful Lake Almanor is a mere nine miles away, offering boating, swimming, hiking, biking, kayaking and fishing opportunities. In addition, fishing, kayaking, hiking and biking are less than five miles away at Round Valley Reservoir. Bird watching is a big attraction at both Round Valley and Lake Almanor. Biking and other sports equipment are available in nearby towns of Quincy & Chester.

Facilities

Each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring. Water spigots are available throughout the campground. There are vault toilets and a dumpster for garbage.

Natural Features

The campground scenery is a mix of evergreen trees, ferns, grasses and shrubs. There is plenty of shade and a small, typically shallow, creek meanders behind the campground. Wildflowers dot the area in the spring.

Nearby Attractions

Three quaint, small towns - Greenville, Crescent Mills, and Taylorsville, are located nearby in Indian Valley. They offer groceries, gas, dining, antique shops, museums and a nine-hole golf course, in addition to a beautiful drive or bike “around the valley.” If you are interested in volcanoes, geology or National Parks, take a picturesque 47 mile drive to Lassen Volcanic National Park. There you will find all four types of volcanoes found around the world and the most thermal features outside of Yellowstone!

Very pretty and peaceful area to stay. Easy to pass the campsite from the main road even with a sign. Bathrooms were basic but served its purpose.

Good, nice views, obviously very close to the lake which is gorgeous. Only reason it is not 5 stars is because we couldn't move the bench provided, and it was so far from the firepit, and no we didn't bring chairs cause why. Very close to the store, there are clean and well stocked and maintained restrooms, and also private toilets for the shy people like me. Overall a great experience

The campground is nice and small. We enjoyed it and would probably go back. Close drive to Lake Almanor without the large holiday weekend crowds. Small walking loop in the campgrounds. I believe there is a creek or pond not far as I saw people walking by in swimsuits with towels as well as fishing gear. There are a few things that I wasn’t expecting: there is no host on site so no firewood available to purchase. Bathrooms were AWEFUL in the mornings compared to other CA parks campgrounds we have been to (could be because of it being a holiday weekend). Luckily, we brought our own toilet paper. There was no clear signage for the turn in to the campground. There is a train that goes by in the middle of the night that woke me up both nights but the kids slept through it.

We enjoyed our time there as there were hardly any people there by the time We left there were only four sites including ours that were reserved for use with the people actually using them. I took off one star simply because the toilet paper was not restocked while we were there so you had to go hard or go home and not wipe so if you had to do a number 2 you were literally SOL lol. That being said it was our first time in greenville so we didnt know where to go other than lake almanor to get into water driving roughly 15 miles to the water wasnt a deal breaker for us we like driving around new spots and exploring but if you find that annoying do your research before hand.

The place was completely empty, so we didn't stay. No campground host. Kinda creepy. Toilets not in the best condition either.
