Several RV parks surround Berry Creek, California, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. River Reflections RV Park in Oroville provides full hookups with both 30 and 50 amp service, spacious sites that accommodate big rigs, and essential amenities including a sanitary dump station. Lake Francis Resort in Dobbins features full hookup RV sites with 50 amp electrical service, sewer connections, and is designed to handle larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. Quail Ridge RV Park in Clipper Mills operates year-round with electric hookups, sewer connections, and on-site propane fill service, though it's not recommended for oversized rigs. Thousand Trails Lake of the Springs in Oregon House maintains year-round RV sites with 30 amp service and water hookups on level, well-maintained grounds. "The spaces are large, sunny and shaded with lovely trees and all within walking distance from the lake," noted one RV camper about the region's parks.
Access to many RV campgrounds near Berry Creek requires navigating mountain roads with occasional steep grades and tight turns. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals typically available at lower elevation parks. Dump stations are available at most established RV parks, though some forest service campgrounds like Whitehorse Campground (open Memorial Day to Labor Day) lack this amenity. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV parks in the region, with designated dog areas at several locations. Summer temperatures can reach the 90s, making parks with electrical hookups for air conditioning particularly valuable during peak season. Reservation requirements vary by location - private RV resorts typically accept advance bookings year-round, while public campgrounds often operate on shorter reservation windows or first-come, first-served basis during shoulder seasons. One traveler mentioned, "Clean facilities, well maintained grounds and friendly neighbors. Sites are level 75 ft pull through sites."
Best RV Campgrounds near Berry Creek (187)
1. River Reflections RV Park
"Cell service is spotty at best and unfortunately WIFI was not working properly although that is not needed for camping, working was almost impossible"
"Location is great especially if you have a boat to launch or just enjoy being at the river. Campsites were nicely laid out. Being in the summer, busy as you might expect."
2. Thousand Trails Lake of the Springs
"Very nice 1970 style park most spots only has water and electricity. Section X is full hook ups and close to all amenities. Lots of deers and gray squirrels playing about the park."
"It’s definitely a place I’ll put on my list to camp at again, especially when they figure out their electrical issues."
3. Lake Francis Resort
"We decided this time around to reserve one of their cabins. We stayed at the Diamond P cabin which has the best view of the lake within this group of cabins."
"Nice quiet lake. Good campsites. Good general store and even a little restaurant and ice cream shack."
Check Availabilityfrom $40 - $100 / night
4. Quail Ridge RV Park
"Very nice people, very peaceful, and quiet, however, there were many people here who are permanent residents of the park, some of their areas are a little trashy looking for lack of a better word."
5. South Yuba Campground
"No cell signal here - speed test is from starlink. Note google & garmin routing from Nevada City takes a bridge with a 4 Ton weight restriction."
"There's hiking access to the river, and almost never anybody at this campground. It's scenic privacy at it's best. Hike up or downstream for some really great swimming holes."
Check Availabilityfrom $15 / night
6. Sycamore Ranch RV Park
"Shaded grassy sites along the banks of Dry Creek (which was full of water when we visited) just above its confluence with the Yuba River."
"We are here in the off season, so there weren't many other campers here. I think in high season it would feel cramped. The trees are amazing and there are about 2 miles of walking trails."
7. Whitehorse Campground - Bucks Lake Recreation Area
"Only downside was no dump or fresh water and it’s a 30+ minute drive to town. Biggest downfall of this area is the hour long drive with a trailer down the wash board road."

Very nice 1970 style park most spots only has water and electricity. Section X is full hook ups and close to all amenities. Lots of deers and gray squirrels playing about the park. Nice beach area with rental boats. Restrooms and laundry areas in good shape. This is a nice area to camp.

Gorgeous campground
Incredible campground! All campers were super respectful of the quiet hours and the campground hosts were great. They work very hard to keep the campground clean. The river isn’t super easy to access but there’s a rope to help you down to the river access spot. The section of the river throughout the campground is claimed so no panning. We loved our stay and can’t wait to go back.

Looks great and friendly
I didn't stay here but I went to buy a camper shell. All the management were very friendly and cheerful. They went it off their way to be helpful. As we left we saw some people passing and the place looked well kept.

GuideIndependence Hill Dispersed
Big dirt pad, dirt bowl.
A freshly worked dirt lot. Like a freshly plowed field. Tractor tire tracks make walking difficult. There is no signage at all. I'm not sure I'm not on private property. May be the sketchiest road I've ever driven. I intended to stay a week. Instead, I got here at sunset, I'm leaving at first light. Somehow, it has mosquitoes.

Satisfactory
We stayed in mid September 26. There was only one family camping the first few days we were there and then we had the entire campground to ourselves. Location was beautiful and it was extremely quiet with exception to the wildlife. Lots of deer, geese, ducks and squirrels. Possible one bear sure to a dumpster dive with shredded garbage on our last day. We were in a 28' RV. Rv camping is a no frill experience. No hook-ups but water spigot at each site. RVs have to parallel park at the top of the hill area. They campers have the difficulty of finding a level spot because most of the tent camping is on a slope. Flush toilets are available. Spotty cell service on Verizon's visible service but we were still able to stream entertainment on our phone's hotspot. Overall, we loved it stay due to the scenery and the obvious peacefulness due to an empty campground. Our 3 night stay midweek with no hook-ups was just over $200.00 which is to me absolutely outrageous but we needed a place to stay on short notice. Aside from the cost, we had an absolutely wonderful peaceful experience watching the wildlife and beautiful scenery.

Horrible Experience
We paid for 5 nights, and left after four. The first day we were immediately approached by the host who rudely lectured about us leaving a phone number off of the pay envelope. The envelope had no designated spot for a phone number. She then handed us a list off rules: No dogs of leash, no generator off the blacktop, no outdoor showers, no chainsaw, and on and on. We were the only ones who kept our dog on a leash. She sold us two bundles of pine firewood the first night then proceeded to tell us the next day the water would be off and we couldn’t have a campfire. Friday night comes around and starting at 11 pm a woman is screaming and our tent is lit up by spotlights. She continues her drunken screams until 12:30 which we figure out she is calling a dog. The spotlights stayed on until 2am. The host lives way above the campground and there is no possible way she can hear the goings on at night. We also have no way of contacting her. Saturday morning we are told the water will be off and this time we are not allowed to use our stove or lanterns. We were forced to cut our trip short because we had no way to cook our meals or have adequate lighting once it got dark. I initially planned to stop payment on the check I wrote but felt that wouldn’t be right because we had a few good days. I contacted them and was told we were not forced to leave left on our own so we wouldn’t be getting a refund. The host was very overbearing she even knocked on our neighbors camper door accusing him of leaving the toilet seat up in the outhouse. Our vacation was ruined

SAFETY HAZARDS: So many trees cut down with branches and debris left over and not picked up by the contractor or the USFS that could cause injury or death. Imagine tripping or falling in a hole and being punctured by pointy branches. I am sure this was not inspected after the contractor left or prior to departure.
HEALTH: Womens bathroom was open on Saturday 12 Sep 26, but then it was locked on Sunday 13 Sep 26. Water spigots were also turned off outside. The RV dump station down the street was also closed too. Not sure what happening here as it is not the end of the season yet.
SITES: Images online are not current/out-of-date, don't trust it. Many sites including mine had a lot of trees and now it has 1 or 2, with many stumps and debris left behind. Many sites have zero trees now. Our 20ft campervan barely fit on the asphalt pad and many were only about 10-15 feet long and then others were over 50. I guess you take a chance on what is real and what is not.
SIDEBAR: Over at the North campground, I saw cleanup crews with chainsaws doing work within 10-15 feet of a family who was camping and eating breakfast at the table. I would think this would be a not only a noise issue but also flying debris issue. I guess the USFS does not care about safety of the paying public.
OVERALL: I understand fire prevention, but when you cut down living trees and leave behind the branches and such to dry out, now that is a new fire hazard along with the safety hazard. So sad to see such nice campgrounds being turned into such eyesores and hazards. If you have small children, senior citizens or pets, I would strongly urge you not to make a reservation here. If you just need to a place to park your camper(not tent) then it would be okay as long as you are away during the day as there is very limited shade now. Oh, I forget to say my parents raised me here and they lived here after I went in the Navy and this is an embarrassment to the Almanor Ranger District in Chester.

What to do

I use the Merlin app to identify the birds here and so far this place holds my record of around 18 birds."
Boating and fishing: The lakes near Berry Creek support fishing throughout the camping season. "Clean campground, great fishing, and nice trail around lake.

What campers like
River access: The South Yuba Campground features direct river access that draws swimmers and kayakers. "This river trail is the best in the state. Clear water, lovely pools," explains Anna R.

Peaceful environments: Many campers value the quiet settings. At South Yuba Campground, one visitor described it as "scenic privacy at its best.
