As you can see in the video above, until you arrive with food, water, camping equipment, and entertainment, these floating campsites are pretty bare.
Each one includes the following basic amenities: a camp table, a sink, a propane BBQ grill (propane provided), a lockable closet, a restroom, a covered living area, an upper sun deck/sleeping area, and a room for tents. There's no potable water, so don't forget that!
These boat-in campsites require you to have your own transportation, as well. Once you make sure everything on the packing list is accounted for and you set up camp, the fun begins!
Boating, swimming, hiking, and relaxing in the sun are all perfect activities that you can do from dawn until dusk when one of these floating campsites is home base.
The fun doesn't end at sunset, either. There's nothing better than falling asleep as the gentle current rocks you in your tent.
The floating campsites are managed by the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area and you can book by calling (530) 538-2219. They are pulled out of the water during the wintertime.
Lake Oroville is a fun summer destination and with all the water this popular reservoir received over the winter, summer here is sure to be a blast.
