Long Point Campground is one of three in the Antelope Lake Recreation Area. It is situated on the lakes southwestern side, providing clear water views at nearly every location within the campground.
Antelope Lake is one of the more remote, quiet lakes in the Sierra Nevadas Plumas National Forest, making it a popular destination for anglers and explorers of all abilities.
Natural Features:
The campground is situated at an elevation of 5,000 ft. and is shaded with plentiful pine and fir trees. It is nestled in the beautiful northern Sierra Nevada mountain range, offering forested woods and scenic vistas as far as the eye can see.
Recreation:
Due to its prime location on the lake, Long Point is known for great bass fishing. Sailing and other boating activities are also popular at Antelope Lake.
Some sites are very near to shallow water and are ideal for wading near the campground; other sites are near deeper water, allowing visitors the opportunity to anchor their boats nearby.
Facilities:
The campground offers multiple single-family and larger group campsites, accommodating both tent and RV camping. With Antelope Lake adjacent to the campground on three sides, most sites have a view of the water.
Tables and campfire rings with grills are provided, as well as vault toilets and drinking water.
Nearby Attractions:
Campground is located about 30 miles from the small town of Taylorsville.
ACTIVITIES

Swimming Site
Located 30 miles northeast of Taylorsville, on the Genesee-Antelope Lake Road. From Janesville, take County Road 208 for 4 miles and turn onto Forest Service road 28N01 for 9 miles, then turn right on Forest Service road 28N03 and continue for 2 miles.
If you want swimmers itch and blisters for weeks from it, this is the place to go. Campground is noisy and poorly managed.
The Camp Hosts were so unbelievably wonderful and sweet!! Campground and facilities are super clean and great beach areas. Will absolutely be coming back, cannot say enough great things!
I MADE RESERVATIONS IN JANUARY FOR MAY 18TH THROUGH MAY 25TH. ALL THE SUDDEN THEY CANCEL MY RESERVATIONS. NO PHONE CALL EMAIL NOTICE NOTHING. IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO COME CLEAN UP THR CAMP SITES BEFORE OPENING THE ASK THE LOCALS I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP OUT. BUT FOR YOU TO JUST CANCEL MY RESERVATIONS WITH NO EXPLANATION. THAT IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THAT I HAD TO SPEND WITH MY SON BEFORE HE GOES INTO THE MILATIRY.
THE LAKE
Nice small lake but big enough for water skiing. Not a lot of boats on the water for a warm Saturday. A lot of shallow areas but in the larger open areas water was about 50 feet deep.
LONG POINT CAMPGROUND
Campsites in group area were nice. Area was mostly flat for tents. Had two BBQ pits, one large fire pit, and three picnic tables. Big trees provided a lot of shade. Paved road into campsite area with room for 4 vehicles.
