You have to pass the signs that lead to the boat launch and continue down the road to the next turn on Lime Saddle Road.

You have to pass the signs that lead to the boat launch and continue down the road to the next turn on Lime Saddle Road. We didn't but it was an easy turn around just past the ranger station to get back in the right direction. Check-in was easy at the campground kiosk and the State Park Rangers were jovial and gave great information.
We were in site #1 and that is the only pull-thru site with electricity and water. All of the other E/W sites are back in only and there many dry-docking sites as well. There are no full service, E/W/S sites at this campground.
There weren't many campers and that is because Oroville Lake is very low. So low that water doesn't make it all the way up to the northern part of the lake where the Lime Saddle Campground is situated. The campground is very clean and that includes the showers and bathrooms. There is a vending machine where you can feed $1 bill for shower tokens. We did not use the showers given our short stay.
All of the sites are asphalt paved and the majority have some sort of a lean, front/back or side to side or all of the above. Our site was easy to get in/out but because of the construction there was no place to put a mat or chairs on the side of our trailer. You can see it in the photos. There are concrete picnic tables and fire rings at all of the sites. I highly recommend you scrutinize the website and look at the photographs of each site. The website is NOT good at letting you know the max length available in each site. I did our reservation online, but calling for a reservation may provide additional information. We had okay cell reception for both Verizon and ATT. We were clear of trees so our Starlink went from 8mbps to 130mbps throughout the night/day so we were able to stream or do anything we wanted electronically.
Even if there were more campers, the location is very peaceful. Most of sites are well dispersed. There is a sewer dump on the exit road and it has plenty of space to maneuver. If you have a clear night, the night sky is amazing. For us we will go back. Our next visit we will go to Bidewll State Park which is a sister park to Lime Saddle. They have E/W/S hook ups. Both locations have great hiking.

Stayed here at the end of April 2016 for 4 days. This campground is part of the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area. The weather was beautiful and everything was green, flowers were blooming and Lake Oroville was full. The campground is on a peninsula so is surrounded on 3 sides by the lake.
We had a reservation and arrived on a Wednesday and there was nobody at the entrance station so we just picked a site and set up camp. The ranger came by a couple days later to make sure we were us. We had a site with power and water and it was plenty long enough for my 52' truck and trailer. Some sites have a driveway slope and most are steep on the sides so the picnic table an fire pit are at the back of the driveway at these. All sites are paved and the campground has been recently rebuilt. The front loop where we stayed has 30 amp and water hookups and the rest of the campground is dry camping, but the sites are cheaper. There is a new easy access dump station on site. Some sites have nice lake, mountain and valley views.
There was only about 4 other campers in the campground so was very quiet. Access to lake is steep, but there is a nice hiking trail to access it and leashed dogs are allowed on the trails. The flora is mostly Blue Oak and Digger Pine so that's an indication it can be very hot in the summer. There are two boat launches very close by, one for hand launching car-top boats and a large 7 lane launch for large boats. The town of Paradise is about 7 miles up the road and has all the services you need.
