North Battle Creek Reservoir - Shasta County, California


Our camping adventure in the Lassen National Forest and Lassen Volcanic National Park for the week began the week of June 15, 2020! We found this excellent and very scenic, free dispersed camping spot along side Hat Creek near Old Station, California. Plus, I visited North Battle Creek Reservoir and had my first black bear sighting of the season! North Battle Creek Reservoir is a 78 surface acre dammed reservoir at am elevation of 5,581 feet in Shasta County. North Battle Creek Campground and the adjacent reservoir are operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. For those seeking the solitude of a remote mountain lake, North Battle Creek Reservoir is worthy of consideration. The reservoir is next to the Lassen National Forest. Sites at North Battle Creek Campground can be reserved through PG&E's reservation system. But, they currently have it closed due to Covid-19.
Non-motorized boats can be used on the half-mile long lake. A car-top boat launch site is available. Late in the summer water levels can drop, making early summer the best time to visit. Five walk-in tent sites are situated close to the water, while the other sites are in a nearby loop.
