If you are looking for one of the most rewarding outdoor experiences on the planet, try boat-in kayak or canoe camping along the shore on one of California’s beautiful lakes, rivers or reservoirs. Nothing is quite as relaxing as camping near the water. Boat-in campsites are accessible by boat only and are intended solely for primitive tent camping with limited amenities.

Boat-in camping invites you to enjoy the tranquility of a pristine alpine lake on a waterfront campsite. It is the ultimate paddling adventure! Kayaks and canoes give you access to exquisite shoreline camping spots that are otherwise difficult to reach.

Boat-in camping on the shores of California’s lakes offers the opportunity to get away from the crowds and allows you to enjoy true solitude. While many boat-in campsites are sought after, they will normally be less crowded than the lake’s main campgrounds.

Boat-in camping combines the splendor of smooth, glassy water with magnificent scenery, inviting you to enjoy the serenity of a pristine lake. Boat-in camping is a one-of-a-kind camping experience which allows you to not only take in the lake’s beauty but also to appreciate the seclusion of a wilderness area. You will be treated with panoramic views as you set out to explore all the hidden treasures the lake has to offer. Boat-in camping attracts the adventurous spirit and welcomes you to an unparalleled camping experience!
