Lone Rock (Ca)

Overview

Lone Rock Campground is one of three in the Antelope Lake Recreation Area. Nestled in the beautiful northern Sierra Nevada mountain range, it offers forested woods and scenic vistas as far as the eye can see.

Antelope Lake is one of the more remote, quiet lakes in the Plumas National Forest, making it a popular destination for anglers and explorers of all abilities.

Recreation

The campground's close proximity to the lake provides visitors with access to fishing, swimming, boating, water skiing and other water-related recreation activities. Anglers can look forward to a well-stocked trout, bass and catfish population.

Educational programs are offered at the campground's amphitheater. Hiking and mountain biking opportunities abound. The Sunset Point trail begins near the campground.

Facilities

The campground offers multiple sites for both tent and RV camping, several of them adjacent to the lake, providing views of the lake. Space allows for two vehicles at each site; extra vehicles can be parked in nearby overflow parking at no extra charge.

Tables and campfire rings with grills are provided, as well as vault toilets and drinking water.

Natural Features

Tall pine and fir trees provide plentiful shade to the area, which is situated at an elevation of 5,000 feet.

Nearby Attractions

The campground is 30 miles from the small town of Taylorsville. The drive along Janesville Grade has some terrific views.

We have been going to this campground for over 20 years and the last few years we get there to our reserved spot and we need to clean it before backing in. Once we get unhooked we need to continue to clean the site. Fire it is always full and no raking has been done. It seems like the campground is falling apart and nobody cares. There are a lot of people that we know that just quit going to this campground but we love the lake so we keep going. I don’t feel we get what we pay for at this campground but we will still keep coming just not as often as we used to.

Had car trouble on the way, call to let them know we would be late checking in, they held our site. That in itself was great, 5 stars. Will be going up there again for sure.

Had a great time with my cousins here lake is absolutely beautiful and the site itself was the perfect vibe. The water was nice and cold felt great especially with the crazy hot weather. The hosts cleaned the bathrooms every morning of our stay there and were super sweet people. Would definitely recommend to anyone the only thing to keep is mind there is no service so just plan accordingly and download music/maps.

We love going to this camp ground, however, this trip was the first where we encountered a bear (or two?). I'm very surprised there aren't bear boxes installed by now. We believe two bears cane to our site four times in one night. We chased them away each time, and barely got any sleep.
