31mi from Fort Bidwell · 3 sites · Tents, RVs · Alturas, CA
The recreation opportunities in the Alturas CA area are endless, fishing, hiking biking, hunting, boating and OHV. The camping site has nearly 3 acres with a view of the town of Alturas and is a great place to kick back and enjoy the atmosphere of fresh air and juniper trees. There are flat usable campsites around the property and one portion of the property is fenced for horses (bring your own water trough). The property is approximately 3 minutes from downtown Alturas with restaurants and stores. The sleepy town is a perfect place to hang out and relax at the big park in town behind the VFW Hall on Main Street, have refreshments at the two bars in town or try your luck at the Desert Rose Casino. The Wildlife Refuge has a self driving tour where you can see all kinds of birds and wildlife. Take a drive outside town to the "Ranches" to see deer, antelope, eagles and various waterfowl! Alturas is a high desert area with wonderful views of the Warner Mountains and has an enchanting feel to it. Temperatures in the summer rarely get over 100 degrees, mostly low 90's, and in the fall the cool nights make for great sleeping. Pop over Cedar Pass to Cedarville which is about 20 minutes away to check out the newly designated "Dark Sky" area. Come up and hang out in this very cool and special place, you will not want to leave!!  The town of Alturas is also in the coveted X hunting zones, X3a, X3b and X2, for those of you who like to hunt. Two sites have full hook ups and the small trailer site on the above pad (see trailer picture) has electric only.  During the winter, the pump house is turned off and drained due to freezing temperatures and the risk of blowing a pipe, so campers must bring their own water during November through March.  Please ask if there are changes in these dates for the water hook ups.

Camp Plush

9. Camp Plush

38mi from Fort Bidwell · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · Plush, OR
Our 20-acre property in Plush, Oregon is located just south of the Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge on the shore of Hart Lake. The land is completely undeveloped and littered with Sagebrush and a few large boulders. This property gives you true isolation, silence and skies free of light pollution. This kind of isolation comes with minimal cellular service. It is one of the darkest places in America. 25 miles from both the Nevada and California borders, this location is a great relay point for Burning Man or other music festivals. The way the land is situated gives you great views at both sunrise and sunset. Great for families, campers, ATVing and just much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of society. The property is accessed via an easement through a ranch. Please close any gate that you open (only one). The road to the property traverses a designated wetland, so the sage is pretty gnarly due to our legal inability to remove it.

Wild Goose Meadows RV

12. Wild Goose Meadows RV

27mi from Fort Bidwell · 91 sites · Lakeview, OR
Nestled in the serene countryside, Wild Goose Meadows RV Park stands out as a unique destination for travelers seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Formerly known as Base Camp RV Resort, this charming park is owned by Martin and Gina Picke', who have a rich history in both aviation and hospitality. Martin, originally from Auckland, New Zealand, developed a passion for flying before moving to Southern California for college. There, he met Gina, who ran her own architectural drafting business and managed the dog training department at the local Humane Society. Together, they dreamed of escaping the fast-paced city life and immersing themselves in the tranquility of a small-town atmosphere. Their journey into the RV lifestyle began when they traveled across various states in the western U.S., which ignited their desire to own an RV park. In 2015, they purchased a small motel with a few RV spaces in Merrill, naming it the Wild Goose Lodge Motel. After six years of hard work, they sought a new opportunity and discovered Base Camp RV Resort in Lakeview. Martin's familiarity with the area, stemming from motorcycle rides with friends, made this location particularly appealing. The Picke's decided to retain the Wild Goose name for sentimental reasons and to honor the reputation they built
