The campground was clean and well maintained. The camp host were friendly and helpful with the site change that was necessary.

Bob R. is the best host weve ever had. He is attentive and one of the friendliest humans youll ever meet. The campsites are always well maintained and the restrooms are cleaned regularly; 6:30 precisely if your Bob. Weve camped multiple times at Rancheria and Bob always takes great care of us and the entire camp. You can tell Bob loves what he does and cares about the camping experience for all. We miss seeing Joy and hope they both return as hosts for future camping trips. We treasure Huntington Lake and Bob and Joy add to our love of this amazing piece of the Sierra Nevadas.

Great campground. Great hosts. Clean bathrooms. Was quiet at night after quiet hours (10pm). Would return.

@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #68

Everything was great until several of the Camp Hosts went around to all the campsites and extorted and extra $10 per vehicle from everyone. We had four campsites, and they ALL stated on the campsite descriptions and our reservation confirmations that our reservation was for 1 vehicle minimum and 2 vehicles maximum. No where on the website or anywhere in the confirmation stated that we would be charged an additional $10 for any vehicle over 1 vehicle per campsite. I feel this is highly unprofessional and borderline racqeteering. I have NEVER been charged to have a second vehicle in the campsite here in Rancheria Campground in the last 39 years.

Excellent Fishing this year. Last year was poor probably due to lack of operational fish hatcheries which resulted in less number of fish plantings. This year there was also a large number of campsite closures within the campground which also helped the fishing experience.

@LeahD3F3DFA859 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #64

This was a such a beautiful campsite 064 perfect spot! Shane and Vicky were great as well and very welcoming! Definitely will be coming back next year!

@LloydJ7B52D1A2 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #92

Huntington Lake is always a beautiful place to visit. Much cooler up in the mountains too! The campground is well kept as the hosts clearly love their jobs.

@XueLED94E3AE6A · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #72

Beautiful campsite!

@LoriA7453277 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #45

This area is so beautiful naturally. The staff checked me in as I arrived and chatted with me for a while. It was quiet and serene with a gorgeous lake walk. I loved it there and wished i had stayed an additional night. The bathrooms were nearby and were clean. I will camp here again in the future for sure!

@NoelleR2C18761 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #72

We enjoyed our stay in our site. We have stayed here 3 times this summer. Any criticism I have is related to the amount of fallen trees, dead trees and old tree trunks lying around. It seems like the campground especially by the lake shore is being neglected. There were also many camp sites that were closed off/not available. This is a shame because I know many people who would like to stay at this campground and its mostly fully booked. Why cant these sites be available? They looked usable. The camp hosts were wonderful at their job. They were helpful and friendly and did a lot of patrolling making sure everyone and everything was good. Bathrooms were clean.

@MayteL253FE993 · Camped on Aug 13, 2024 at Campsite #48

Beautiful views, campground is in a great location with zero service. Well kept and clean. Camp hosts were present, attentive, and friendly. Firewood is available for purchase which is a nice surprise, cash only.

@BruceA8B7FF293 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #7

Loved the sites and looking forward for the rest of the campsites cleared and ready to use. China Peak Landing Bar and Grill was fantastic!!! Advertise for them. Amenities are so important for business.

@LyndaW2402175 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #54

Our campsite was clean and the campground was quiet. Restrooms were clean, however one sink didn't work and the other door didn't lock so that was a little cumbersome. It was a great location right on the lake and even though there were several campers, everyone respected the quiet time rules and it didn't feel crowded at all. We will definitely keep this campground in mind when we camp in the future!

@JanieM66DD6FD6 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #67

Wonderful visit. We thank Shame and Vikki for keeping the grounds and bathrooms so clean. This was not the case a few yrs ago. They are always so nice and helpful and look forward to seeing them again next year.

@ToddM7765289 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #66

Beautiful Lake. Friendly camp hosts. Great hiking trails.

@MelanieHE652BF · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #82

Host was extremely friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were regularly cleaned. Overall, great experience.

@BriannaT239907 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #GRA

Campground was very well maintained. Clean restrooms.

@JuanP4ECE090E4 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #35

Driveways to park RV needs maintenance

@KarinaOA01C88E · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #2

Camping sites were clean and well taken care of. Camp managers were often seen and so there was a sense of feeling safe and looked after. The location was perfect! No matter what site you are one, you are walking distance from the lake. The campground has many spots to set up for the day on the waterfront.

@DianaWDDE13F93 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #74

Our family absolutely loved this campground. The site was well maintained, restrooms were clean and within walking distance of all sites. Trash cans were maintained and easy to access as well. Our 2 year old son loved interacting with the camp hosts Shane and his wife as they drove by on their golf carts. They recommended sites for future use and were extremely helpful throughout our stay. The campsite was quiet, had great roads for bikes, scooters and fishing/ swimming spots. We will absolutely be back soon.

@PaulE4932327 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #81

We lucked out with a site near the water. Went to shaver next. If you are comparing the lakes, Huntington is colder and breezier. And more bugs. Shaver is crowded on weekends during the season. Huntington is a lot cheaper, but got full hook ups at shaver ( nice, because our water pump went out in the camper at Huntington).

@EmilioD0C26CA5 · Camped on Jul 6, 2024 at Campsite #44

Our large group had a wonderful time. Each of the sites was clean and we were able to set up right away. The restrooms, too, were very clean. The distance to the lake was reasonable so family did not have to walk too far to bring the kayaks. And driving to Rancheria Falls was quick.What probably was the best part of experience were our Camp Hosts - Shane and Vickie. Not only were they kind and friendly but they did a great job of monitoring and caring for the grounds and tending to the campers' needs; delivering the fire wood to the camp site was appreciated! It is evident that being Camp Hosts can be a challenge due to the number of sites and amenities to tend to, and also the diversity of people to work with but whenever we stopped to talk to them during our long stay, Shane and Vickie were always professional in manner. The state hired exceptional people and deserves accolades for their dedication to our State Parks. We hope to see them again next summer. If not, we wish them the best!!

Clean campsite, access to lake

@SaiRavitA3C7FE · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #1

Amazing Campground. Good lake view. Toilets are clean and have running water. Host was extremely helpful, helped with starting the campfire. Also sold us firewood for 10 bucks :)

@RockneyM1CC144 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #4

We love Huntington Lake. This was our 51st year coming to HL. Weve seen one campground close after another with no hope that they will ever reopen again. Cut trees lay on many of the campgrounds with no hope of being removed. Its a said seen. Huntington Lake is a beautiful lake in the high Sierras with good fishing, great hiking trails and at some time in the future a lodge, market and Saloon.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
