We have camped over the July 4th weekend at most of the Lakes Region campgrounds in the past 35 years. Salmon Creek Campground is without question the grand jewel. Wonderful, easily accessible large sites are set across from a little creek, which serves as a secret escape fro summer heat with a flat flow allowing camp chairs among the amazing creek foliage. The campground has water faucets, is close by Bassets Store and Restaurant for supplies and great breakfast and has clean well-supplied outhouse toilets (though the toilet house needs a modernization upgrade).

The campground is an easy:short drive away from Sardine Lake Lodge for fishing and a great dinner with cocktails on the Lake. In fact several other Lodge restaurants are also close as is good food in Sierra City. Salmon Lake, Long Lake, the Bear Lakes Loop (including Round Lake and SilverLake), Gold Lake, Mt Elwell and the Sierra Buttes, are all easily accessible for hiking, epic mountain swimming, fishing and hiking. A bit longer drive, but still close by is Greyeagle for upscale eating and shopping.

Home to Salmon Creek Campground at night you can sit by the campfire pits and enjoy a quiet night just far enough off the main road to dampen noise from the few passing vehicles.

Salmon Creek is very popular with reservations going early. Go for the best in the Lost Sierra, Salmon Creek Campground.

Salmon creek is a beautiful campground. The proximity to the creek and to many nearby lakes is wonderful. The bathrooms are definitely rustic, but the location is worth it. Highly recommend the hikes in the Lakes Basin.
