Campground Details - CHISHOLM COVE GROUP SITE- EAST PARK RESERVOIR, CA - ReserveAmerica

Overview

Chisolm Cove is set along the picturesque East Park Reservoir, which is a significant bird habitat recognized by the American Bird Conservancy. The reservoir attracts a wide variety of bird species, including the tri-colored blackbird, yellow-billed magpie, Canada geese and the woodpecker. Birdwatchers should expect to see migratory movement of warblers in spring and fall. Non-feathered wildlife like wild pigs, coyotes, black-tailed deer and tule elk inhabit the area too.

Natural Features:

The reservoir is at the edge of the foothills between California's Sacramento Valley and the Coastal Mountain Range.

Recreation:

With 25 miles of shoreline, swimming and boating are big attractions. Fishing finds include channel catfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill and rainbow trout.

Facilities:

A boat launch is not available at the campsite, but a public launch is nearby. There's plenty of room here for family reunions, club outings or large gatherings among friends. A substantially-sized field for frisbee or football is new to the group area.

Nearby Attractions:

Go horseback riding or hiking around the reservoir or through the Mendocino National Forest, a 913,306-acre collection of mountains and canyons. Or visit the small, pleasant town of Stonyford that's just a few miles north of the group site.

This road intersects with Campground Rd where a small sign for East Park Reservoir allows only a right turn onto a gravel road. Continue on the gravel surface to the end of the road (approximately 1.5 miles) at which a locked gate indicates a group camp only, you are now at the Chisolm Cove Group Camp.
