Close to the boat ramp and right on the water, campsites at Reservoir C are quiet, scenic and partly shady. A recommended spot for Amateur Astronomers. Light polution is non-existant.
From Alturas travel west on Hwy 299, 3 miles. Turn north on Crowder Flat Rd/County Road 73, and travel 9.6 miles to Forest Road 43N18. Turn left on 43N18 and continue approximately 7 miles and follow the signs to Reservoir C Campground.
Quiet and serene campground. Well maintained site with picnic tables, fire pit rings, and a couple clean outhouses. Lots of trees well spaced for hammock camping, as well as cleared areas for tents. Accessibility from the road was along a well worn dirt road with few pot holes, and no deep ruts, distant from the closest highway - which added to the ease of emerson into this wilderness. Fabulous location for birding and lake side fishing. Great place for a family outing. Access to a boat launch was nearby as well.
