Lime Saddle Campground

About

Lime Saddle Campground is the newest campground within Lake Oroville State Recreation Area, accessed via Pentz Road off Highway 70. Located on the western shoreline of the West Branch arm, the campground provides excellent access to both water recreation and trail systems. The facility offers 44 individual campsites split between 28 standard tent/car sites and 16 RV sites with full hookups, plus group camping areas at the Pinecone and Acorn sections. Two restroom and shower buildings serve the individual camping area, featuring six flush toilets and four token-operated showers. Water spigots are distributed throughout the campground, and each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with grill. A two-stall RV dump station is located near the entrance kiosk. The group camping area includes ADA-accessible sites with shade structures, large BBQs, and its own restroom facility. The 1.73-mile Lime Saddle Trail provides scenic views of the reservoir and connects to the broader Lake Oroville trail system. The adjacent Lime Saddle Marina offers a four-lane boat ramp, gas dock, boat rentals, general store, and fish cleaning station. Dogs are permitted in the campground and on paved roads but are not allowed on trails or in day-use areas.
