About

Camp Lisa Group Campground is situated within Plumas-Eureka State Park, a 6,700-acre park located high on the east slopes of the Sierra Nevada in Plumas County. The park preserves the rich history of hardrock gold mining that dominated the region from the 1850s until World War II, when over 8 million dollars worth of gold was extracted from what was once called Gold Mountain. Today, visitors can explore the Mining History Museum, the historic Mohawk Stamp Mill, and several preserved buildings from the mining era. The group campground serves as a base for exploring the park's extensive trail network, which connects to the Lakes Basin Recreation Area and the Pacific Crest Trail. Fishing opportunities abound in numerous alpine lakes and streams within short distance of camp, including Jamison Creek which flows through the main campground area. The high Sierra setting at approximately 7,400 feet elevation provides stunning mountain views and diverse wildlife including black bear, deer, mountain lion, and various smaller mammals. Metal bear-resistant food lockers are required for storing all food, beverages, and toiletries. The park operates seasonally with the campground typically closing after Labor Day and reopening around Memorial Day weekend. Winter transforms the area into a cross-country skiing destination with groomed Nordic ski trails. The park is accessible via County Road A-14, located five miles west of Blairsden. High Sierra weather can change abruptly, and visitors should prepare for varied conditions with layered clothing.
