Campground Overview

About Acorn Campground

The Acorn Campground offers a dynamic outdoor escape with its prime location along the shores of New Hogan Lake, set amidst the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. With opportunities to immerse in activities like lakeside relaxation, water sports, and wildlife observation, this campground is a gateway to adventure and natural beauty. Its combination of shaded campsites, recreational amenities, and proximity to significant attractions makes it ideal for families, nature enthusiasts, and adventure seekers.

This campground features 128 well-equipped campsites suitable for tents, RVs, and trailers, each outfitted with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. While the shaded campsites provide relief from the region’s warm, dry climate, accessible flush toilets, coin-operated showers, and potable water ensure convenience. Notable features include a nearby amphitheater, a boat ramp, and access to hiking and biking trails extending to the park office. The adjacent New Hogan Lake supports popular activities like boating, fishing, and swimming. Anglers will appreciate the lake's variety of fish, including bass and catfish, while bird watchers can spot bald eagles in the winter months.

Located just outside Valley Springs, California, Acorn Campground offers easy access to essentials like groceries and gas. Nearby attractions include the historic Carson Hill, site of the state’s largest gold nugget discovery, and the Black Bart Inn in San Andreas. With direct lake access, trails for exploration, and a vibrant natural habitat, Acorn Campground is perfect for weekend getaways and extended stays in the California countryside.
