Clio’s Rivers Edge RV Park sits right along the Feather River in the shadow of tall Ponderosa Pines, giving you that genuine mountain setting without the chaos of busier Sierra destinations. The park itself is clean and well-maintained with paved sites, so you’re not dealing with dust or mud even after rain. If you want a quiet spot to park for a few days, this works well. If you’re using it as a base camp, you’ve got legitimate options within reasonable driving distance.

The Plumas and Tahoe National Forests surround this area, with the Sierra Buttes providing some genuinely striking scenery—people often compare it to Alpine terrain, and they’re not exaggerating. There are about 100 lakes scattered through the region and over 1,000 miles of fishing streams if that’s your thing. Hiking trails are abundant, and you won’t feel like you’re fighting crowds the way you might closer to Lake Tahoe proper.

For non-outdoor activities, there are six golf courses nearby, plus restaurants and small shops in the historic Graeagle area. It’s the kind of place where you can spend a day doing something totally different from why you came, which matters when traveling with dogs—sometimes you just need to change pace.

The location is genuinely convenient for a weekend trip. You’re looking at roughly an hour from Reno, 45 minutes to Truckee, and about two hours from Sacramento. If you’re coming from the valley, that’s manageable without feeling like you’ve driven all day to set up camp. The park also has electric vehicle charging if that’s relevant for your setup. Highway access via 89N, 395, and 70 means you can approach from different directions depending on where you’re coming from.
