Upper Blue Lake Campground
Upper Blue Lake Campground campsites are scattered back in among the trees at the north end of the lake. Campers at Upper Blue Lake enjoy the quiet setting with proximity to several other lakes, all with great fishing. An unimproved boat ramp is nearby.
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. Upper Blue Lake Campground is 3 miles beyond popular Lower Blue Lake Campground.
Upper Blue Lake Campground has 27 sites for 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.
