RV camping near Chico guide

Overview

Often-overlooked Chico is well positioned to get RVers into Northern California’s great outdoors. The city sits on Big Chico Creek, which marks the border between the state’s two major mountain ranges—the Cascades, which lie to the north, and the Sierra Nevada, which lies to the south and east. In town, the creek joins the Sacramento River at Bidwell-Sacramento River State Park, where you can go fishing,  boating, and tubing. East of town, Lake Oroville offers more boating, including a boat launch if you have your own vessel, and Plumas National Forest is a wilderness wonderland home to lakes, fishing opportunities, hiking trails, rugged mountain landscapes, and space for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. RV options in town are limited but you can find several RV parks along nearby Interstate 5 and more scenic sites along the Sacramento River. Chico has hot, dry summers and mild, wet Winters with average nighttime temps just above freezing.
