North Canyon Campground
Located near Vallecito Reservoir, North Canyon Campground provides 21 sites including 9 first-come, first-serve sites. This area is a bit more open than Graham Creek Campground and has large ponderosa pines scattered throughout. Willows separate the campground from Vallecito Reservoir, underbrush separates campsites for privacy, and paths lead to the water. There are several sites suitable for larger sized RVs. Services include water, trash pickup, fire grates, picnic tables, and restrooms. Bear-safe food storage is recommended. The only commercial development on the east side of the reservoir is the resorts just north of Pine Point which have most camper services, but gasoline is not available.
