Hutchins (group Cg) is a Forest Service campground in the Mt. Hough Ranger District of Plumas National Forest in California. It sits among a cluster of family campgrounds, with Sundew (Family Cg) about 0.1 mile away and Lower Bucks (Family Cg) about 0.3 mile away. Vault toilets are the only facility listed for the site, and a fee is charged for stays. The closest weather station, at Canyon Dam, sits about 19.6 miles away and runs roughly 570 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here tend to run cooler. Summer is the driest stretch. Typical averages from the Canyon Dam station show July highs around 86°F with only about one wet day, while winter months bring highs in the low 40s and roughly 11 wet days. The station's figures are typical averages from 1991 to 2020. The Quarry climbing area is about 1.3 miles away, and Mill Creek Trail is about 1.9 miles away. Bucks Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 2.2 miles off, and Bucks Lake Recreation Area is about 2.4 miles away.
