Rocky Knoll Campground

What sets Rocky Knoll Campground apart is its rugged charm, offering campers a serene escape among the shaded grandeur of Lassen National Forest while staying just a short distance from Silver Lake, where opportunities for fishing and hiking abound. This secluded campground features 18 campsites tucked into a dense conifer forest, providing a tranquil and rustic environment ideal for nature enthusiasts.

Located approximately 39 miles northwest of Susanville, California, Rocky Knoll Campground serves as a perfect base for outdoor exploration. The nearby Silver Lake, easily accessible via a short walk, offers excellent fishing—particularly for Eagle Lake trout—and boasts a nature trail that loops around the lake. Hikers can venture into the Caribou Wilderness just west of the campground, which is dotted with numerous small lakes, creating endless opportunities for adventure.

Camping at Rocky Knoll includes essentials like picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets, but its amenities are intentionally minimal, with potable water available via hand pumps. This simplicity, paired with its captivating natural surroundings, makes the campground especially appealing for those seeking a quiet, authentic outdoor experience.
