Whitehorse Campground

Nestled within the scenic northern Sierra Mountains, Whitehorse Campground offers a tranquil retreat managed by the USFS. Located just three miles from the pristine waters of Bucks Lake, this site serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Plumas National Forest. The surrounding terrain provides a rugged, mountainous backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons, making it a versatile destination for year-round recreation.

While the campground maintains a rustic, primitive atmosphere, it provides essential amenities to ensure a comfortable stay, including vault toilets and picnic tables at each site. The area is highly regarded for its direct access to diverse activities such as fishing, boating, and extensive hiking trails. Whether you are navigating the landscape during the warmer months or exploring the snowy trails in winter, the location is a haven for those who enjoy active mountain living.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and RV travelers who prefer a self-sufficient, back-to-basics experience. Because there are no utility hookups, it is perfect for those who enjoy off-grid camping while staying close to the recreational opportunities of the greater Bucks Lake region.
