A gem hidden in the forests. Was amazed to see such neat and clean campground. The river near by is pretty cool, very clean and shallow water. Good for people going to camping and still prefer the clean toilets and showers.

Wow! This campround is a hidden gem! Located on the Feather river I was able to try my hand at gold panning. I had no luck but a little boy who was with his dad discovered a nugget, $50-100 is what someone said. They have clean modern restrooms and private hot showers as well. The campsites each have a pic-nick table, an approved fire ring, and a huge food locker or bear box. Many of the campsites have electrical hookups and more than a few were wheelchair accessable. I was able to use my cell phone here which I can't always do in the National Forest. There is a little country store just a stones throw away and a nice trail through the woods to it,they have beer and more. There is plenty to do like fishing, hiking, swimming, rock-climbing, kayaking, relaxing and of course gold panning. If you like trains (and I do) you can hear the whistle blow but in a nice way. Very easy access from highway 70. What a great place to kick it and relax. I was able to see a Bald Eagles nest as well as deer and wild turkeys. Oh yeah there is a lot going on in the area from concerts to kayak flotillas and Volkswagen van doing of some sort to name a few. I'm going back as soon as the season opens again. It never seemed to full which is a shame since it looks as if they have just rebuilt the entire campground.

The campground is nice and probably site 11 is the best one out of the bunch. The river is no more than 2 feet deep through the stretch of the campground. The big setback is the trains that pass through that canyon, roughly 5 a day. There is a nice little store which can be accessed through a trail and roughly ¼ of a mile hike. The sites have food lockers, tables and fire pits and the summer host is very nice. Most of the sites are close to each other, which is also a setback. I would return if I were in a pinch for a spot to camp.

This is not a great campground. The campground is bordered by private property so you can see houses and people doing their daily thing right from your site (at least the one I had). The campground really has nothing to offer; it is claimed to be on the river but I couldn't see the river in any direction. The only positives: each site has a fire pit and a picnic bench. There are plenty of trees for shade. We actually left a day early even though we'd already paid. If I were you I'd find a better spot.
