North Battle Creek Campground
North Battle Creek Campground and the adjacent reservoir are operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. For those seeking the solitude of a remote mountain lake, North Battle Creek Reservoir is worthy of consideration. The reservoir is next to the Lassen National Forest. Sites at North Battle Creek Campground can be reserved through PG&E's reservation system.
Non-motorized boats can be used on the half-mile long lake. A car-top boat launch site is available. Late in the summer water levels can drop, making early summer the best time to visit. Five walk-in tent sites are situated close to the water, while the other sites are in a nearby loop.
Directions: From Hwy. 44, about 3.5 miles east of Viola, turn north onto Forest Service Road 32N17, drive 5 miles. Turn left onto Road 32N31, go 4 miles, turn right onto Forest Service Road 32N18, proceed about 0.5 mile
