Camp Lahontan
530.550.2430
Camp Lahontan, our family recreation and activity center, is a magical place in a magnificent forest setting with five acres of childhood dreams-in-the-making along the picturesque shores of Gooseneck Reservoir. For adherents of outdoor sports and games, there are tennis, sand volleyball, badminton, and basketball courts. Traditionalists can head for the shuffleboard area, clay tennis courts or try their hand at horseshoe pitching. Swimmers of all ages are well served with a full-size swimming pool, children's splash pool, lap pool, and jetted spa. Locker rooms with showers are available in the Camp Pavilion.
The Pavilion area is set up to keep everyone thoroughly entertained with all kinds of arts and crafts, games, childrens programs, and family events. Even the very youngest family members have their own special space in our children's playground. The picnic and barbeque areas are the perfect places to relax after enjoying a summer day of mountain biking or hiking on the adjacent trails.
