Ancestors of Maidu people lived here long ago. European settlers arrived and took control of the area. In recent history, a multi-cultural group of community members formed the Konkow Partnership to attempt to hold, steward, and preserve the wilderness that survives here. We look forward to your post fire visit. Learn more about this land: Congratulations Campers!  The campground is reopened after the last couple of years of wild fires and tough winters. We are reopened even as repairs and upgrades are being made. Thank you to all visitors who love this place for your patience as we continue to improve the features of the Campground. Stay tuned for progress reports. We hope to see you real soon. Visit, fish, or camp in a rare jewel forest, hidden in the Sierra/Cascade foothills, less than an hour's drive to Chico, Oroville, or Paradise. Surviving forests of mature cedars, pines, oaks, and madrones provide shady camping, fishing along the lake shore, or picnicing along the banks of the creek that runs through a recovering creekside area. Stargaze or fly kites in our Great Meadow or admire copious wildflowers and other native plants on over 80 acres of wilderness. We provide a variety of recovering wilderness areas near water faucets, pit toilets and an RV dump station. Our site features mature forests, grassy meadows, a year-round creek in a fire recovery zone. The site also features lakefront shoreline access for bank fishing, a central fire pit and lots of space for group camping. Fires are permitted in the central pit when weather allows. The Lake Concow/Konkow Campground is a wilderness sanctuary and houses many variety of rare and endangered plants, animals, and insects. Please be aware of and give respectful space to all of the residents of the park. The list of year round residents may include poison oak, thorny berry vines, mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, deer, eagles, osprey, owls, squirrels, skunks, foxes, bears, mountain lions, snakes, bats, and more. Please be responsible for personal camp supplies and trash. The Campground is a Pack In/Pack Out location and garbage cans are supplied near the office house near the entrance. Good hiking shoes, protective clothing, and hats are recommended. All Campground faucets supply delicious, potable water tested regularly. The modern listings spell the name Concow, Ancestors spelled it Konkow. Both are correct, though may give different search results. There is plenty of room for parking large vehicles and for turning around. TOW VEHICLES MUST STAY THE DURATION OF THE CAMPING VISIT. Sorry, we DO NOT allow towed-in-and-dropped-off campers or 5th wheel trailers at this time. This may change as clean up work progresses through the year. Stay tuned for updates. Thank you.

Eagle Lake Campground stands out as a unique destination in Lassen County, offering breathtaking views of the lake and the majestic mountains that surround it. This area is a true natural treasure, with Eagle Lake being the second largest natural lake in northern California. The lake is a haven for wildlife, including Ospreys and Bald Eagles, which inspired its name. Visitors can immerse themselves in a variety of outdoor activities, such as fishing, boating at the south shore, and exploring miles of ATV trails. Horseback riding and hiking opportunities abound, making it an ideal spot for adventure seekers. For those eager to explore the stunning wilderness of northern California, several remarkable destinations are just a short drive away. Modoc National Forest, Mount Lassen Volcanic National Park, Mount Shasta, Shasta Lake, and the Trinity Alps are all within a 2 to 3-hour journey from Eagle Lake Resort, providing endless opportunities for exploration. Please note that due to the ongoing drought, campfires are currently prohibited. Eagle Lake is experiencing low water levels, particularly at the north end, making it too shallow for launching vessels or flotation devices. We recommend launching larger boats at the Marina at Gallatin Beach, located just 25 minutes away on the south shore. While the drought has impacted the lake
