The Pit River Recreation area is adjacent to the Pit River, has a small campground with eight campsites with tables, metal firerings, and barbeque pits. Amenities include: two single wheelchair accessible restrooms, a kayak launch ramp, and an accessible fishing pier. Camping:$8.00/night
From Redding, California, take Highway 299 East toward Burney, California. After Burney, go 12-miles east until you see the sign "Pit Power House" road. Follow the signs downhill to the campground.
First time here and my family and I loved it. There’s a lot of shade and it’s very quiet.
We had a blast camping there spots are cheap and well shaded the waters were cool!
River access. Fire pits. Benches. Camp host Warren is the most kind and thoughtful host I have had the pleasure to have met. He makes sure everything is just right at camp so we can enjoy our time on the river.
This is a nice camp spot, fits our 30 foot 5th wheel just fine.
There are 7 campsites and one group site. $8 a night. The pit toilets are very clean and maintained.
There is a campground host. AT&T cell reception is good.
This is beautiful place to swim with no hiking required to get too the water. Right next to the swimming area is a a part of the river you can fish in. The area has picnic tables also. The bathrooms are immaculate and by far the cleanest campsite bathrooms I have ever seen. I only seen about 5 campsites but I think there may be more. A campsite attendant stays at the campsite and is a very friendly guy. So far I have only come to swim and have not camped yet. The parking lot is right next to the swimming area so this has extremely easy access for day swimming. The water was a very nice temperature.
