About

Laufman Campground is a quiet, primitive campground nestled in a grove of aspen trees within the Plumas National Forest. Managed by the Beckwourth Ranger District, this small 6-site campground sits at 4,800 feet elevation approximately 4 miles southeast of the small town of Milford, California. The setting offers a genuine backcountry feel while remaining easily accessible from Highway 395. Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring, and parking space. A vault toilet serves the campground. There is no potable water available, so campers must bring their own supply. There is no garbage service; pack out all trash. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis at $10 per night with a 14-day stay limit. The area is bear country, so proper food storage is required. OHV use is prohibited within the campground. The campground is open 24 hours a day and provides a good option for those seeking solitude in the eastern Sierra region.

Directions

From Susanville, take Highway 395 southeast approximately 20 miles to Milford. Take County Road 336 southeast approximately 4 miles to the campground.
