Location Information
This campground is perched above one of the deepest blue lakes in the Modoc National Forest. The picturesque setting offers a chance to relax beneath the pines and abundant recreational activities. Whether you like to boat, fish, swim, hike or simply enjoy nature, camping at Blue Lake will be an experience to remember.Several of the campsites are located directly on the lake. A boat ramp is located close to the campground. Don't forget your fishing license.
Boating is usually done by those fishing by rowboat, canoe or low powered boat as the lake is very small motor boat since speed is controlled
and patrolled by County Sheriff. Skiing is usually done on the larger and warmer West Valley Reservoir located approximately 12 miles to the
northwest of Blue Lake.
The Blue Lake National Recreation Trail encompasses the alluring waters of the 160 acre lake. Enjoy your hike on this easy to moderate
trail, and keep an eye and ear tuned to the wildlife that call this place home.
The South Warner Wilderness Area is only six miles to the north of this camp ground, and offers ample opportunities to leave civilization behind.
Both Mill Creek Falls Campground/Trailhead and Patterson Campground/Trailhead will provide access into the southern portion of the
wilderness.
