Boat-in Campsites
Lake Oroville's Boat-in Campsites provide more privacy than regular campgrounds can offer, but you have to have your own boat to get to them. These first-come, first-serve sites are located along the extensive Lake Oroville shoreline and offer picnic tables, cooking stoves, and pit restrooms. Each Boat-in Campground is identified by signs along the shoreline. Obtain directions to your camp at the park entrance station or the launching area. Each camp has six to 26 individual campsites. There are four boat-in camping areas: Craig Saddle, Foreman Creek, Goat Ranch and Bloomer Primitive. The Bloomer Group Camp can accommodate up to 75 people, but reservations are required. All Boat-in Campsites are primitive campgrounds. Please bring your own water. (Make a reservation for the Bloomer Group Boat-in Campsite)

RV Campsites
While RVs and trailers are allowed at every shore-based Lake Oroville Campground, only Bidwell Canyon and Lime Saddle campgrounds offer full hookups. Loafer CReek accepts trailers and RVs but only offers a sanitation station for dumping.
