Chapman Creek Campground sits in the Yuba River Ranger District of Tahoe National Forest in California, managed by the Forest Service. It is a small, basic campground with vault toilets, and a fee is charged for stays. The most comfortable months to visit are typically June through September. Typical averages from the nearby Bowman Dam weather station show highs in the low to mid 80s °F in July and August, with lows around 54 °F. That station sits about 600 feet lower than the campground, so expect it to run cooler up high. The Chapman Creek hike starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Sierra campground is 0.8 mile off. The Haskell Peak Trail lies about 1.5 miles away, and Yuba Pass campground is roughly 3 miles away.
