This site was too sloped to be great for setting up a tent, though many other spots in our loop looked fine. We were disappointed to see the restrooms with running water were out of order. Instead there were portapotties that were badly in need of service and out of toilet paper. We decided to enjoy the lake for the day and then just head home.

We had a wonderful time! Site 9 has a level spur and one or two level areas for tents but the fire pit area is on a hill, which is awkward. The host is SO KIND and wonderful at her job. Other campers observed quiet hours w their generators. I love exploring this area of california. It is beautiful. No motor boats allowed on the lake so its very peaceful. Sites are quite large. Multiple bathrooms and a coin shower available. However, I really wish they had bear boxes!!! This encourages responsible camping. Bc there are bears in the area, we had to pack up the truck every day. One of us has a back injury and the other has a should injury so this was a real pain that bear boxes would help with (we had to unload the truck each day to take it out exploring.) We will be back!

The campsite host was very nice and helpful. The campsites we clean and everyone was friendly. A lot of knots at night but no bees. Coming back

The camp ground is very nice and well maintained, buy it would be great to have metal bear boxes at each site as there are definitely bears roaming the grounds at night. The area is excellent (lake, woods, trails)!

Had a very relaxing time. Campground lightly used for June. Midweek stay. Looking forward to next time.

This is a very nice campground. We love it there. Some of the spots are way too close together. The fire rings between us (38) and our neighbors (39) were maybe 30 feet apart and it was a little too close for our comfort. Other spots weve stayed at had more privacy.

The camp sites were clean and so were the restrooms. The camp host was friendly. She stopped by to let us know about the ammenities of the campgrounds.

We enjoyed staying at this campground. It was quiet and our site had nice access to the water where we enjoyed swimming and kayaking with our granddaughter.
@NoahB4207838 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #60
Love this campground! Site 60 is a nice site. Hosts were very nice too. In loop 3 the restrooms were closed for repairs and sounds like they will be for a bit. The dump station is too expensive for what it is.Very shady campground. Some sites are very sloped so just something to be aware of. Bears visited us so again, just something to be aware of.
@RodSA97F41D7B4 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025 at Campsite #38
The Camphost Patty was a great. The camp was very clean, and well cared for.
@JillF1296461 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #64
Lovely campground, on a lovely lake! Camp hosts are friendly and attentive. Sites are well spaced. Some sites are more suitable for tents than others. Loops 1&2 have lovely restrooms. My biggest gripe is that loop 3, which has the ADA site only has porta potties right now. It makes it much less accessible, and isn't noted on the website, so it's something to be aware of when reserving a site
@DennisH3714812 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #9
Absolutely beautiful and quiet campground! The host was very friendly and helpful. My only reason for four stars was the ten Buffalo gnats/No-see-ems bites I got. Very painful and swollen for over a week!! Plumas News said they werent out yet. We did take precautions, but they got all of us! Ill avoid May/June next time!

First trip to Grasshopper Flats and it was awesome. The camp host Patty is a rockstar, very personable and does a great job. Bathrooms were clean and stocked (except handsoap but thats probably a budget cutback topic). She runs a tight ship and manages the campground very well, which seasoned campers appreciate. Were hoping to get back a few more times this season.

We really enjoyed Grasshopper Flat camping area. The facilities are in very good condition. The best part of camping here is that it is so quiet and peaceful. High speed boat traffic is banned from Davis Lake, including water skiing and any personal water craft. That keeps the lake area quiet. There is a nice trail that surrounds about 1/3 of the lake that is suitable for hiking or cycling. The entire trail is shaded by the forest. If you like gravel roads for bicycle riding there are plenty of options accessible right from your campsite. My only complaint is that there are no "bear boxes" to store your food, and bears do visit this area.
@WilliamL145693 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #15
Patty the current host is excellent. Hope she sticks around. Bathroom and showers kept clean and she handled any nuisance campers accordingly.
@DavidB5075483 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #10
Been going here for years. Never disappoints
@DavidD5028320 · Camped on Sep 26, 2024 at Campsite #23
There wasn't a perfectly level spot to pitch our 2-person tent, but the location was quite nice. Not too far from nor too close to bathrooms. Reasonably close to the lake's shore. Everything was clean and the host was welcoming on our arrival day. I would recommend this campground without hesitation.
@KellyS8987536 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #3
I have camped at this campground many times and it is a very nice campground. I have camped at this campsite twice and it is shady,flat, and has lots of room. Bathrooms and showers are close. Not usually a bear problem unless you leave trash out. I put my coolers in my truck n cover them with a tarp. I have camped hundreds of times and I dont care what people say about smell. It is not smell but they know what an ice chest looks like . Cover them completely with a tarp n I have never had a problem even when numerous campers nearby were getting hit .

Grasshopper is one of my favorite campgrounds. It's always very clean and the sites are spaced out providing plenty of privacy. Also, there's a wonderful bike trail across the road. It's definitely a winner!
@TrevorP9633161 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #25
Great camp spots and great camp hosts.
@JeramieKF7D2FE · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #25
This is a great location for camping, offers shade cover, short walk to the water and a great campsite to relax in.
@AnneW5848921 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #69
Grasshopper was beautiful. The lake was really high and the facilities were good and the hosts were magnificent.
@NathanJ854F558 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #25
Campground was spacious and very clean. Our site had a short distant walk to the water with a great view. The only real downside is that swimming was not as accessible (we did find some areas ) and there were bugs by the water that bit the family.
@RonR9814435 · Camped on Sep 10, 2023 at Campsite #25
We love Lake Davis and Grasshopper Flats campground. It is so beautiful and we did really well on our catfish fishing! Not as many people camping during the week as on weekends, one if the perks of retirement. We always meet the friendliest people here. In the Top 3 of best places to camp.

Nice site. Drained well from a hard rain. Quiet over Labor Day.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
