From The Campground

Collins Lake is a popular campground located in the beautiful California gold country foothills. It offers lakefront RV hookup & tent camping, fishing, boating, picnics, and a big sand swimming beach. The campground has a 1600 acre lake and recreation area with 12 miles of shoreline. It is famous for its big bass, trophy trout, and monstrous ice cream cones. The facilities include RV hookups, boat launch, marina and boat rentals, children's playground, beach volleyball, shady picnic area, general store, laundry, and hot showers. More than 50,000 trout are planted every spring, which means Collins Lake has the largest private planting program North of Sacramento. Thousands of these trout are trophy-sized, planted at 3 to 8 pounds and growing even larger. The campground has built habitat areas for bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish to keep them plentiful and to keep Collins Lake among the best fishing lakes in the Northstate. The friendly and professional staff will be happy to assist you with camping reservations, current fishing information, and any questions you may have.
