The Sugar Pine/Big Reservoir is approximately 18 miles northeast of Foresthill, up the Foresthill Divide. The primary season of use is May-October each year.

Sugar Pine reservoir features two family campgrounds, one group campground, boat ramp, day use and swim area, and a trail around the reservoir for hikers and non-motorized vehicles. There is a 10 mph speed limit on the reservoir. Fishing is generally pretty good for warm water species. There is not direct access to the Foresthill OHV trail system. OHVs must be trailered to the staging areas on the other side of the reservoir.

Big Reservoir/Morning Star, located nearby, is privately operated. This smaller reservoir features a family campground, group area, small store, paddle-boat rentals, pay phone, and private (fee charged) fishing access.

Bears are common in the area, and we strongly encourage keeping food well-secured and out of sight. Do not store food visible within vehicles or campsites. Never keep food in or near sleeping areas.

Parker Flat and Sugar Pine OHV Staging are provided primarily for OHV users. Both sites have vault toilets and a loading ramp. Parker Flat is suitable for car and tent campers. Sugar Pine Staging is for RV use and day parking; tent camping is not permitted. Both provide easy access to the Foresthill OHV trail system.
