Boat-in Camping: (Open year-round - RESERVATIONS REQUIRED)
Camping at Englebright Lake is unique as all campsites are boat-in only and located along the lake's 24 miles of shoreline. Each campsite consists of a table, fire grill, lantern hanger and level spot for tents. Portable restrooms are centrally located in all campgrounds. Drinking water is available near each launch ramp. For more information about camping, please check out our Englebright Lake recreation guide or contact the project office at
(530) 432-6427 or by clicking the link.
Each Campsite will accommodate 2 tents or up to 8 people.
Campsites are a PACK-IN / PACK-OUT - meaning you take all your trash with you when you are ending your camping trip, otherwise you could receive a federal ticket for littering.
Basic Rule of Thumb - always leave things a little cleaner then you found it.

Boating:
The lake provides plenty of space for the boating enthusiast, water skier or angler. Boats can be launched from one of two boat ramps located near the project's entrance. Due to narrow canyons and sharp bends, the upper 4 miles of the lake are not suitable for water-skiing and/or towing any type of inflatable device. Therefore, these activities are restricted to the lower five miles of the lake. A counter-clockwise direction of travel is strictly enforced for the safety of project visitors.
