In Janesville, CA, at intersection of US Rt. 395 and Janesville Grade (road), take Janesville Grade south 14.8 miles to Antelope Lake directional sign. Turn right after sign and go 1.6 miles to a "T" intersection. Turn right and go 5.6 miles to campground directional sign. Turn left and go 0.2 miles to campground.
The hosts were very gracious and took us in due to we were Dixie Fire evacuees. Lake water was low but I was still able to view many different water fowl. Had to leave due to ex essive smoke from the forest fire.
We had a horrible experience at Lone Rock. We reserved 9 camping spots here. Lone Rock and Antelope Lake are very special to my husband's family as his aunt used to take them as kids and she passed away last year unexpectedly. So his cousin came up from Vegas, we were in from Tennessee, and my sister in law made sure they brought their golf cart because I'm disabled and needed it to get from our campsite to the lake and we kept it on pavement the entire time. The camp hosts were extremely rude about the golf cart (they use golf carts themselves) and told them we couldn't use it in the campground. She then told my sister in law her hammock wasn't allowed. We counted 16 other campsites with hammocks, one right in front of the camp host site. 3 out of 5 children and one adult got swimmers itch from the lake. Needless to say it was just a horrible experience all around.
Great place to camp. There is usually a store but there is not one for this year of 2022. So make sure you bring everything you need.
The host Debbie was awesome. She has lots of information about the area. She is super friendly and loves to chat with guests, she even remembered my husband's birthday and came by to give her wishes to him. The camp is clean and there is lots of room and plenty to enjoy. You'll love to see all the wildlife. There is also a lot of areas to hike. The cows are a little loud early in the morning but you get used to it. The only downside is the Yellow Jackets, next time we're to try Debbie's tip of using peppermint fragrance of some kind. Bring plenty of ice as the store sells 20lb bags but they are $12, there is also small bundles of wood that were $7 and ice cream bars but those were $4. We'll definitely be back and try the fishing next time. Thank you again for you hospitality Debbie.
