About
Lake Oroville State Recreation Area offers ten floating campsites dispersed among protected coves throughout the 167-mile shoreline reservoir. These distinctive two-story structures measure 20'x24' and can accommodate up to 15 people per site. Each floating campsite is fully equipped with a propane gas barbecue, table, sink with non-potable water, restroom, shelves, cabinets, lockable storage closet, and sleeping area. Floating campsites developed to this degree are not known to be available anywhere else in the West. Access is boat-in only, with rentals available at the marina for those without their own watercraft. Campers must bring their own potable water as the sink water is not safe for drinking. The exact location of each floating campsite varies depending on current lake elevation levels, with specific location information provided upon check-in at the Loafer Creek Kiosk. The lake also maintains seven floating restrooms positioned throughout Lake Oroville on platforms where multiple boats can tie up simultaneously, providing additional convenience for boaters.
Directions
Accessible only by boat. Check-in at Loafer Creek Kiosk located on Loafer Creek Road off Highway 162, 9.5 miles east of Highway 70. Floating campsite locations vary based on lake elevation and will be provided at check-in. Main boat launch ramps at Bidwell Canyon Marina, Loafer Creek, Spillway, and Lime Saddle Marina.
