Located in the northern Sierra Mountains, in Plumas County. 53 miles northwest of Truckee via State Highway 89, and West of Gray Eagle. (One hour north of Truckee, via CA State Rte. 89; turn on to county road A-14 from Hwy 89 and go 5 miles). OR One hour west of Reno via U.S. Rte. 395 to CA State Rte. 70 to CA State Rte. 89 south; turn on to county road A-14 from Hwy 89 and go 5 miles.
2021- super inviting and clean, camp hosts were great and were ok with dirt bikes on camp grounds as long it didn't cause an issue with excess noise
2022- still clean. New management, Dan. Rules changed, which is fine. Dan yelled at us for having dirt bikes on the premises (no warning or a heads up.) I am ok with the rules changing but what I am not ok is with Dan's dimenoir and attitude and his power hungry stance where he yells at everyone on the top of his lungs.
Sheriff later talked to us telling acknowledging that Dan was out of line and that "he's been told before" about his attitude.
Beautiful campground! Large campsites and beautiful creek near sites. Lots of free activities for the kids to do like candle making and museum. They also have gold panning for $4 for the entire day. Beautiful nature trail but dogs are not allowed on this trail. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. The showers were a hit or miss as far as temperature but they are free so I won't complain. Make sure to put all items in the food lockers as this is bear country and you will get a $1000 fine if bears to come into your site due to items left out. If you leave food, garbage, and scented items out and a bear comes into the site they have to kill the bears if they become habitual so be responsible and respect the rules. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back!
Awesome campground with many places to explore. I really don't see anything that could cause someone to be unhappy, I've been here many times, and I've never had any problems. Fishing is good, and the campground are all beautiful. Ranger is a nice guy, and it seems that everyone at this campground gets along and appreciates each other for being there, outside of the congested cities.
I always have a great experience there. Very helpful park rangers. A lot of hiking trails. I went 4th of July weekend. A lot of people but every campers followed rules. Campground have flush toilets and free hot showers. Creek through the campsites. Water was clear and icy cold!
