Oakland Feather River Camp

About

Oakland Feather River Camp opened in 1924 on federal land under a long-term lease agreement with the US Department of Agriculture and the Forest Service.

Though camper attire may have changed over the last 80 years and campers have traded in their canteens for water bottles, much is still the same at Feather River. Traditions abound such as taking a dip in the camp swimming hole, singing around the campfire, participating in the camper talent show at the Starr Bowl, and dancing on the Veranda.

Until the late 50’s, not all campers upheld the tradition of comparing drive-times from the Bay Area. Many campers arrived at Camp via the train that let them off right inside the Camp. You can still hear the trains passing the Camp each day!
