Rocky Point Campground is located on the north shore of Eagle Lake outside of Susanville, CA. This is a small undeveloped campground on the east shore of Rocky Point. The site is best suited for self-contained camping. There is no potable water or trash removal available but a vault toilet is provided. There is no fee for the use of the campground but a donation is requested to assist with the routine maintenance costs. The surface in the campground is packed earth, gravel or sand. It is possible to launch small boats along the shoreline in the campground area. During low water, launching a boat is possible only from the shoreline areas where there is firm gravel, on the far end of Rocky Point. Do not drive past the posted signs that say "No Vehicles Beyond This Point".
