Welcome to Wild Plumas!
The campground has new stewards, but all of the original goodness. We've also been working hard to add amenities and finishing touches that we think you'll enjoy!
We'll be adding new sights and amenities all season. So check back often to see what else we've cooked up for your pleasure!
🐝 the Wasps and Hornets are bad this year in the Sierras. We have traps out, but be cautious and aware!
🔥 For the foreseeable future of 2024, there is a burn ban. No campfires or charcoal grills. The glampsites have propane fire pits with 1 tank provided. Basic campsites can have them provided for a small fee.
🚂 Trains are part of being in the mountains. You’ll get to hear them during the day (and night). Their whistle can be loud, most people get used to it quickly.

Weekend Trip to Wild Plumas California
Very nice and serene Hipcamp.
Great to wake up under the birds and fall asleep with a million stars
We were visited by a buck in the late afternoon eating apples from a tree.
Creek is great to dip in.
Bed was comfortable. Camp ground was private and secluded.

This is now my 4th time staying at wild plumas and that’s because it’s so beautiful there and you are right with the forest. Cottonwood was great but was hoping wolf creek was open but it’s being repaired. The creek was clean and refreshing as usual. Hot in the summertime but we already knew that. Lake Almanor is about 15 minutes down the road. The whole area is so clean and every water spit we stopped at all clear and amazing. Camp host Mary Kay was very nice and friendly and that’s what makes a place. We weren’t bothered by anyone and there were no other people around. The best place hands down. Our go to spot from here on out

Absolutely loved our stay at this glamping site! It was the perfect balance of comfort and nature. The creek running through the property was a highlight—peaceful, clean, and even had great fishing. I caught a few trout just steps from our tent! Just note I believe it’s fly fishing and catch and release water.
It was also a fantastic spot for our 3-year-old. The open space, shallow creek areas, and safe environment made it ideal for exploring and playing without worry. The glamping setup itself was cozy, clean, and well thought out—everything we needed without giving up the outdoor experience.
The location couldn’t be better. Nestled in Northern California, it’s just a short drive to Lake Almanor where we spent the day swimming, fishing, and soaking in the views. There are also some amazing hikes, local eateries, and hidden gems in the area that made the whole trip feel special.
Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy nature without roughing it. We’ll definitely be back!
