AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Big Cove Campground (5,800 feet) is located near the shores of Frenchman Lake in Northeastern California. Some families have been returning here for more than thirty years. Situated at the interface between the wild Sierra mountains and the high desert, it's a perfect hub for a wide range of recreation opportunities. Plumas National Forest has many backroads open for exploration. Take advantage of the beautiful blue waters of Frenchman Lake for boating, fishing and other water sports. Tell stories around the campfire.
