Heading East from Sacramento on I-80 take the Colfax/Grass Valley Hwy 174 exit & loop back over I-80. Turn right at the stop sign. Take another quick right on Highway 174 heading towards Rollins Lake. Go straight on Rollins Lake Road approximately 1 1/2 miles to Rollins Lake, Long Ravine Campground.
Just got here today with the family everybody has passes, except one of our vehicles, they wouldn't let the single vehicle pay for day-use , we offered to buy a season pass, and was still sent away and made them Park far away,, from the entrance, there's nobody here, and tons of parking, the lady was extremely rude , bad policies here
Senior Ranger Lia and her staff went above and beyond to this one of the best summer seasons we've ever had.
As a season slip holder, this was my 8th year at Longs Ravine, and I'm looking forward to next year. .
Thank you, Lia, and all your staff ❤️
Beautiful day out on the lake. A little crowded after 1 pm, but the Lake is full so there was extra room.
The Best place I've been as far as "enjoying nature" since my childhood. I will definitely come back, the rocks are sharp by the shore, so you definitely should bring water shoes, but other than that another good recommendation is a intertube is great fun for adults and kids and bring life jackets for kids who can't swim., There is also about 3-4 tables up by Magie's store/food or something I believe that area is open from 11am-4pm....$17 bucks a car to have a day pass,...
Lake was really nice for swimming. There is a nice spot to set up and swim by the Cajun restaurant. The staff was super friendly, and we rented a kayak which was convenient.
There was a good tree stump for jumping off into the water, and they had a side!
Campsite has flushing toilets and a shower with hot water.
Watch out for poison oak it was everywhere.
We were in site 18, and it was really the best site in my opinion. Right by the trail, lots of room, and the other site were on hills.
I only wish the store was a little more stocked.
Mosquitoes are out bad right now so come prepared with bug spray.
