More PG&E Campgrounds Opening After Snow Delays
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–More Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) campgrounds have opened as
snow is melting and winter storm damage to facilities and roads gets
repaired.
“This year’s deep snows and late spring storms have delayed the usual
seasonal opening dates for many of PG&E’s campgrounds, but we’ve worked
hard to repair damage and coordinate with local and federal agencies to
restore roads so we could open as many recreational sites as soon as it
was safe to do so,” said Dena Parish, director of environmental
management for energy supply at PG&E.
PG&E maintains public campgrounds and other recreational facilities
associated with its vast hydroelectric system throughout Northern and
Central California. Campers can go online and reserve sites at dozens of
PG&E campgrounds located at reservoirs, rivers and creeks from the Pit
River in Shasta County to the Kings River region in the southern Sierra
Nevada mountain range.
Reservations are generally available Memorial Day through Labor Day.
There is a minimum two-night stay at reserved campgrounds and a
consecutive 14-night limit for camping. All campgrounds also have some
first-come, first-served sites except for group-only campgrounds.
PG&E is working with its campground hosts, the county, and the U.S.
Forest Service to reopen roads and open more campsites.
In addition to camping opportunities, PG&E also offers dozens of lakes
for boating, fishing and swimming, as well as hiking trails and other
day use areas for the public’s enjoyment. The Pecho
Coast Trail and Point Buchon Trail near the ocean in San Luis Obispo
County require online reservations while other day use areas and trails
are first come, first served.

campsites and for PG&E locations throughout much of Northern and Central
