Collins Lake Recreation Area is an outdoor destination nestled in Northern California's gold country foothills, approximately one hour northeast of Sacramento between Marysville and Grass Valley. The centerpiece is a stunning 1,600-acre lake with 12 miles of shoreline, making it a premier spot for fishing, boating, wakeboarding, water skiing, and kayaking. The lake is stocked annually with more than 50,000 trout, including trophy-sized fish, alongside bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish — a true angler's paradise. Campers can choose from full-hookup RV sites with 30-amp electrical, water, and sewer connections, including coveted lakefront spots. Amenities include pull-through sites, hot showers, laundry facilities, a general store, propane, firewood, dump station, and Wi-Fi access. Families enjoy the sandy swimming beach, children's playground, beach volleyball, picnic tables with grills, and hiking trails. A boat launch, marina, and boat rentals make getting on the water effortless. RV storage is available on-site, and the campground is pet-friendly. With its breathtaking Sierra Nevada foothills scenery, abundant recreation, and welcoming family atmosphere, Collins Lake Recreation Area is an ideal California campground getaway for RVers, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
