Event Description
Join us in the scenic and historic Feather River Canyon at Hallsted Campground in the Plumas National Forest. The campout will feature tie-dyeing and a potluck dinner Saturday.
Please Note: All sites have been reserved as of 5/19. You will need to arrange a share if you do not have a reservation. See the comment wall for a list of known campers and sites.
There are National Forest Service free campsites nearby as well as camping at the Twain Store, both within walking distance. The link to the Hallsted campground where the campout is being held is in the header above.
The Historic Feather River Railroad route runs on the opposite side of the river from the campground. Trains climb and descend the grade at all hours-you will be falling asleep to the rumble of the diesel engines and the squeal of steel wheels on the tracks. If you have never driven through the Feather River Canyon, it is a natural and cultural resource treat!

Those looking for hot springs can find them a couple miles up the road. Formerly known as "Woody's", they are now associated with an RV and cabin establishment. I think you need to call ahead and there is a $5 fee. Details here:

Good list, but that is only the known sites... unknown sites abound. Perhaps someone has booked a scary unknown site...OK I'll quit it.

Right on, Laura. Dunno how much time you have on Rt 70 but it's a pleasant drive along the Feather River. The TS event is always a good one.

Regis - I've been up to Quincy a couple of times but haven't been to this event. Looking forward to getting away! I really like the drive along the river. Should be a good time.
