U.S. Army Corps of Engineers allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Acorn Campground sits in the chaparral-covered Sierra Nevada foothills a short walk from New Hogan Lake. The facility offers 128 campsites alongside flush toilets, showers, and drinking water. A 3-mile paved path connects the loops to the park office, with additional mountain bike trails on the west side of the lake. The 4,400-acre reservoir includes boat ramps for water skiing and year-round bass and catfish fishing. Below the dam, the Monte Vista Recreation Area holds the River of Skulls hiking trail and an 8-mile equestrian trail loop. Historic gold country towns lie nearby.
