     This lake is so wonderful. Do set aside some time for Milkhouse Flat since you're here at Green Island Lake; why not take a little visit to Firstwater Creek if you're here. Now, you may assume that's a load but there's even more cool stuff to do here at Green Island Lake. There's so much to do here at Green Island Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Little Grizzly Campground is a tremendous spot for that, and lakes are such peaceful places, why not  
   stop at Saucer Lake. This lake is so wonderful. If the weather is lovely, you get a wonderful view of Castle Rocks from Green Island Lake, and Frog Lake is a great lake nearby.
Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this place. Feather River - North Fork has a great whitewater paddling spot nearby, and there are brilliant places to explore along the Yellow Creek Trail. There's glorious hiking along the Lassen Trail; going to Lassen Volcanic National Park
 
               is just something you need to do if you haven't yet.
Life's too short to enjoy all the cool things in the Northern Sierra Nevada. If you came to camp Injun Jim Campground is a good place to do that, and dry warm beds await you at Bailey Creek Cottages. All year is a great time in the Northern Sierra Nevada if you go for the outdoors. Don't leave Green Island Lake without first going for a hike along the Carter Meadow Trail, and if you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Feather River - North Fork. If you need a place to stay Best Western Rose Quartz Inn is a brilliant choice, and a visit to Green Island Lake wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Soda Spring.

Potato Patch Campground
13 miles away
We camp at Potato Patch campground annually with several other families. It is a very nice campground on a beautiful river. There is not a lot to do nearby though and it is a primitive campground with pit toilets and no showers. There are no hookups for RVs, but we tent camp anyway. We mostly play by the river (very cold water). Our attraction is the beauty and the people we camp with. We used to fish, but it is all catch and release. I can definitely recommend it but you have to be looking for a relaxing and beautiful setting and mostly doing not much of anything.

I ALSO HAVE GONE CAMPING AT HOLE IN THE GROUND SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I WOULDNT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY I LOVE IT THERE AND NOW SO DO MY KIDS....
I've been going to hole in the ground, off and on for 40 years. From when I was a kid hiking in the forest, tubing down the creek, swimming in the pools, and fishing for planted trout that the hatchery would toss in the creek. Now it is a restricted salmon run, there is no planters and restrictions on the type of tackle you can use. The fishing was great as a kid. I like how peaceful it is, with the sound of creek and an occasional bluejay chirping. I enjoy cooking on the wood stoves. There are only a hand full left, (what a shame). I will be meeting one of my brothers and dad at the hole in three weeks. My large family with foster children love going to the hole. Some have been before and some will experience it for the first time. **lot of good memories**...
