Dispersed camping · The hill above the resort

Dispersed campsites on the hilltop above the resort, with the store, the showers and the river at the bottom of the hill. Open now. Sites and rates are a phone call: (530) 694-2229.

Camp Stargaze is plain camping on the hilltop above the resort: pick a
spot, set up, and wait for dark. There are no hookups and no marked rows —
the whole point of the hill is the room to spread out. The river valley
sits below you, and Alpine County is the least-populated county in
California, which is a dry way of saying there is almost nothing down
there to put light in the sky.

Campfires are allowed, and when fire restrictions are declared the posted
rules apply — ask at the store and you will get a straight answer. Bring
more layers than you think you need: nights run cold at this elevation
even in August. The store, the showers and the river are all at the bottom
of the hill, a few minutes down.

Sites and rates are a phone call: (530) 694-2229. It is the same counter
and the same people as the cabins and the riverside sites below.

Camp Stargaze is booked by phone — (530) 694-2229. If you'd rather be
down by the water, [the riverside sites and the cabins book
online](/book).
