Where is a good place to camp around Oroville, Ca?

Question

I am looking for somewhere an hour or so away, not to close but not to far away.

Answer 1

Hopefully these links will help.
Haven't camped there myself, just driven through, so can't help with firsthand experiences.

The first link may be of most interest according to your specs.

Answer 2

Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area

Woodson Bridge State Recreation Area is a beautiful oak woodland park nestled along the Sacramento River between Chico and Red Bluff. Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, and the Trinity Alps loom in the distance.

A boat launch ramp located across the road in the county park makes for easy access to the river for those who enjoy water sports. A broad sand and gravel beach provides the opportunity to enjoy the sun and enjoy the Sacramento River.

Another special feature of Woodson Bridge is the preserve. This dense native riparian forest is a winter home to the Bald Eagle and a summer nest site for the Yellow Billed Cuckoo. This jungle like grove displays some of the last remaining riparian habitat to be found in California.

Location-Directions
The park is on South Avenue just three miles west of Highway 99 at Vina, or six miles east of interstate 5 at Corning.
Latitude/Longitude: 39.9175 / -122.0903

Seasons/Climate/Recommended Clothing
Spring and Fall are favored seasons at Woodson Bridge, but summer camping can also be delightful here. Summer daytime temperatures generally vary from 85 to just over 100 degrees, but cool nights are the rule.
