Ice House
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Ice House Campground is surrounded by a mixed conifer forest on the shores of Ice House Reservoir, just 12 miles from Riverton, California. Ponderosa pine is a pleasing part of the surrounding region — the trees fill the air with a vanilla aroma, and it is the tallest known pine tree in the country; the tallest measured to date was an impressive 268.35 feet. Enjoy swimming, fishing, jet skiing and boating on Ice House Reservoir, where rainbow, brown and trout swim. A boat ramp is located on-site. Hike or bike the Ice House Mountain Bike Trail, which stretches 3.1 miles along ridge tops and shaded northern slopes and boasts views of the reservoir and the Crystal Range. Amenities include a picnic area, drinking water faucets, vault toilets, showers and a dump station. Firewood is sold on-site, and a nearby resort offers a restaurant, gas and limited groceries. The facility was newly renovated in 2022. Some campsites are right on the shoreline while others are set back just enough for plenty of shade from towering ponderosa pines, cedars and manzanita bushes. The reservoir spans 700 acres at 5,500 feet elevation, in the Eldorado National Forest, which stretches across the famed gold mining territory of the 1800s. Its climate is similar to that of the Mediterranean, with warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters. Bassi Falls is nearby, reached via a 1.2-mile hiking trail; the waterfall cascades over a 109-foot granite cliff.
