We entered the building and were immediately greeted by a woman who asked us if we would like to tour the museum and explained to us that the cost was $2 per person for adults, which we thought was extremely reasonable. The museum has both an indoor and outdoor area and the people responsible have done a very nice job of providing information about the history of Plumas County while also sharing some great items which we found interesting. We enjoyed learning more about Plumas County and would highly recommend to others who are either visiting or passing through, we would suggest 45-60 minutes to explore the property but you could easily stay for several hours. A highlight for us was learning more about the different trails West over the Sierras that people took such as the Lassen and Beckwourth trails. It was really cool to learn more about the individuals that made it happen.

I stayed at Upper Jamison Creek, and loved it. I made reservations about a week ahead of time on Reservecalifornia.com My site was very spacious, private, and well shaded. There were lots of redwoods on my site, some purple irises, and even some snow plant. There are a few lovely short trails that run throughout the park, like the one mile hike from the campground to the Visitor Center, or an extra mile to Camp Lisa or the Jamison Mine Complex. From the historic mine complex, the PCT is just three miles away. Or, you can also drive to the trail head and park there. In the other direction, the Trail carries on to a series of alpine lakes and waterfalls. Like other reviewers have said, it was very cold at night. Even in June, I needed both sleeping bags. There are several other amazing hikes within driving distance. If you look carefully, there are some free campgrounds, too. The only time this state park charges fees is to camp at the nicer campgrounds. All parking is free. Showers are free. Plumas Eureka is more accessible than some state parks. They Reserve disabled sites for people with disabled passes, which is something to keep in mind if you have a pass and are looking for a site at the last minute. Lots of gorgeous lakes and opportunities for kayaking, too. Pretty much as good as it gets for a state campground.
