Upper Blue Lake Campground
Upper Blue Lake Campground is at the north end of the lake. Campsites are set back in among the trees, 3 miles beyond Lower Blue Lake Campground.
Blue Lakes are owned by the Pacific Gas & Electric Company, which oversees the campgrounds. Blue Lakes Road leaves Highway 88 in the Hope Valley on the east side of Carson Pass. A 12-mile drive leads to the cluster of lakes which includes Upper and Lower Blue Lakes as well as Twin Lakes, Meadow Lake, and a number of other smaller lakes. An unimproved boat ramp is nearby.
Upper Blue Lake Campground's 27 sites can all accommodate RVs, trailers, and tents. Reservations can be made online as late as 3 days prior to arrival. A 2-night stay is required for those making reservations. Some sites are kept available for first-come, first-served visitors.
