Alder Creek Campground

Alder Creek Campground is a small, semi-developed USDA Forest Service campground with 6 first-come, first-served sites located directly adjacent to Deer Creek in Lassen National Forest, offering basic amenities including picnic tables and vault toilets.

The campground sits at 3,900 feet elevation approximately 20 miles southwest of Chester on Highway 32 and provides excellent access for creek fishing, though visitors should note that no potable water is available on-site and the campground typically operates through Labor Day weekend at $10 per night.
