Long Point (Ca)

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

Recreation

Due to its prime location on the lake, Long Point is known for great bass fishing. Sailing and other boating activities are also popular at Antelope Lake.

Some sites are very near to shallow water and are ideal for wading near the campground; other sites are near deeper water, allowing visitors the opportunity to anchor their boats nearby.

Facilities

The campground offers multiple single-family and larger group campsites, accommodating both tent and RV camping. With Antelope Lake adjacent to the campground on three sides, most sites have a view of the water.

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

Natural Features

The campground is situated at an elevation of 5,000 ft. and is shaded with plentiful pine and fir trees. It is nestled in the beautiful northern Sierra Nevada mountain range, offering forested woods and scenic vistas as far as the eye can see.

This is our family's favorite campground without a doubt! Always beautiful, well kept, dog-friendly, just a pleasure to be here! Would absolutely recommend without a doubt. Bathrooms get cleaned up regularly, most campsites are big and open, plenty of trees that grant some privacy. it's just amazing! Amazing hosts as well. We love it so much.

We always have a great experience at this campground! We love how close it is to the water, you can fish right off the bank, and the staff is always friendly.

Long Point campground is a very convenient location for us as it is close to where we live. Antelope lake is a beautiful spot with clear water and many opportunities to view a wide variety of wildlife, engage in water sports and fish. You couldn't ask for a better place to go. The campground was quiet and the spaces spread out with lots of trees. Our Grandchildren had a blast. Unfortunately, the campground is aging and is need of some repairs to the infrastructure. The asphalt is breaking up in the parking space pads making some of area unusable. I would highly recommend camping at Antelope Lake. For the area/experience-Five Stars. We've been going there since before there was a paved road. Just be aware of the fact that the usable area of the pads may not be exactly what you are expecting based on descriptions on the website. Come prepared.
