Ninety-four walk-in tent sites on the north shore of Whiskeytown Lake, 50 to 250 feet from the parking areas. Sites nearer the water get real shade. Every site has a picnic table, a campfire ring and a food storage locker. Oak Bottom Beach, the marina with year-round boat rentals, the Water Ditch Trail and the campground store are all right there. No RVs and no vehicles at the sites.
