He aint lyin. Badass lake. Four developed campsites. Yet mellow because I have gotten in trouble a couple times because they really monitor noise after 10. Smooth as shit even in the middle of the day. One cove has a sandbar with people just standing in the water next to their boats in the water.

Plus only 2500 feet up so not too high elevation

Ya! This lake normally holds water real well through summer. So even later in summer dont matter. My family and I are ready to plan a trip.

Rollins Lake has four independently operated campgrounds. Long Ravine, Greenhorn, Orchard Springs and Peninsula offer a combined 250 campsites and a complete range of services including stores, restaurants, fuel sales and boat rentals.

That was some info I found.

We tried out Long Ravine last year. Think I want to do Orchard Springs this year

Re: NorCal SCJB Members · « **Reply #33 on:** April 04, 2016, 10:15:07 PM »

How about a NC/SCJB annual Run to Rollins? Might be memorable 👍

I'm down. Looks like a three hour tow. Better than the 10+ for Big River.

Love me some dry camping, but what's the motor home scene like?

And yes, for only being around 2k elevation it is very nice. Ignore the boats in the pic and check out the scenery.

I guess so. It is a super nice boat. Just dont let anyone see the back of the boat. Just tell everyone it is a jet. Lol

I'll throw a towel over the back. Thanks....
What you bringing to the "party"?

Re: NorCal SCJB Members · « **Reply #47 on:** April 06, 2016, 01:57:00 PM »

So I talked with my bud Tamsone6 and we will put this on together. We were thinking a chill weekend like the weekend before 4th of july or the weekend after. Sometime in the next month we will go scope out the campground and get a feel for the tent spots/motorhome spots. Have to make sure we can fit the boats. Also ask about reserving policies. Then we will, very begrudgingly😄, cruise the lake to look for a good day hangout spot. This is all tentative at this point, especially since both Tamsone6 and I are still finishing up our boats.

So let me know what you think? Questions you want to know we will try and get the answers.

I'm in as well .. and can help with firewood / beer /food ect.
Question # 1 Do they have fire rings at camping spots and or can you have a ground fire in say an old washer tub .
Question # 2 is there bbq grills at camp spots . I know it's early but those would be my only questions.
