So many amusing things in close proximity to Murphy Lake, definitely fantastic. If you came to camp James Lee Campground is a great site to do that; get your heart beating on the great whitewater of Feather River - North Fork.

Potato Patch Campground
18 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.
