Lake Oroville, CA - Memorial Day W.E. + 4

[Just Right]

Planning to take the kids out of school for the last school and trailer up the Sunday of Memorial W.E., staying through Thursday. The lake is currently down 150' but should rise about 75' by then. Pretty lake, much nicer than Shasta IMHO, mainly because it has lots of sand vs. red-mud beaches.

Since our last visit 10 years ago, they now require gray water tanks, too. So I have one major project to do in the next couple weeks.

Buddy Boats welcome!

How big is that lake? Any accomodations(camping, stores, marinas)?

When it's full it has over 160 miles of shoreline and over 15,000 surface acres. It has two full-serve marinas and houseboat rentals. There are lots of campgrounds, several boat-in campsites and even a couple floating cabins rented through Reserve America.

Here is a brochure on the lake
