About
Strawberry Point Campground sits along Ice House Reservoir in the Pacific Ranger District of Eldorado National Forest, offering a quieter alternative to the larger developed campgrounds in the area. The 10 sites can accommodate tents, trailers, or RVs, though the campground is primitive with no hookups or potable water. Each site is limited to 2 vehicles and 6 people. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and trash service. The nearest dump station is at Ice House Campground. Lake water is available nearby but must be boiled or filtered before use. Bears are active in the area, so proper food storage is essential. Recreation opportunities include fishing, swimming, motorized and non-motorized boating, and waterskiing on Ice House Reservoir. Mountain biking trails are also accessible from the area. The maximum stay is 14 days per year within the ranger district.
Directions
23 miles east of Placerville on Highway 50, then 11 miles north on Ice House Road (Forest Road 3), then right 3 miles on Ice House/Wrights Lake Tie Road (Forest Road 32).
