"If you are looking for a small campground with full hookups, on the lake, close to Table Mountain and Feather Falls, this is for you."
"Really enjoyed this campground which is part of the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area. The staff where we checked in were helpful with all of our questions about the area."
"This campground is above Marysville California."
"They were both lake front campsites, which meant the water or shoreline was right at our "front door" from our 27' travel trailer."
$45 / night
"Water pumps near the sites. Vault toilets, hot water and showers. The campsites do not overlook the water. We visited in the off season with no reservations and there was plenty of availability."
"The lake is super low, but a pleasant campground on our way home."
"Right behind a casino, but a really nice park. Excellent bathrooms and showers. A pool area and dog park. Good Wi-Fi and amenities."
"Every time we’ve been into the store the customer service was superb and security drives around at all time to check the place out. 🤩
The amenities were great but some surprise bonus’ were the big game"

Campsites were nicely laid out. Being in the summer, busy as you might expect."

"There was basically no one around. This campground is pretty huge. Our site was fairly private, yet right across from the bathroom. Very spacious."
"They said it would be okay as long as I had the gear to sleep outside in a tent as well. The place was quiet and we had no issues."
"Very nice campground, but cell coverage is nonexistent outside of one small area."
TravelerWent here for 4th of July 2025. It was a beautiful small lake with hiking trails right off of the lake. I think all of the reviews for this campground are for the Silver lake in the El Dorado national forest and that IS NOT THIS LAKE. This is the Silver lake campground in PLUMAS national forest.
In Bucks Lake wilderness, about 5 miles of relatively nice dirt/ gravel road to campground. A little busy, but it was 4th of July so it's to be expected.
GuideFirst of all, this campground is so beautiful, and has so much potential to be a great place to stay. Or, if you love chaos, public intoxication, public displays of domestic violence, riffraff, and grumpy rangers, then maybe it already is a great place to stay. The last night I stayed here happened to be the last night that I was unhoused before I moved to Yosemite for a seasonal job, and I had the creepiest experience of all time. But first let me explain the campground. It's divided into two main parts. The six sites near the river stay open year round. These are the worst sites. They're tiny, stacked on top of each other, are right next to the highway, and offer zero shade. In my opinion, this whole area would be better off turned into two group sites. The better section of the campground are the back twelve sites which are only open from April to October. Snagging one of these creekside sites during the off season would be ideal. All of the campsites are within 100 yards of the North Fork American River. One of my favorite hiking trails of all time, Stevens Trail in Colfax, is just a few miles away. This is a moderately difficult hike 4 miles down to the river and then back up with fantastic views, waterfalls, and wildflowers. There is also a waterfall across the street from the Mineral Bar campground behind the boat launch. Bears are common in this area and I've personally seen a few crossing the road on my way to and from the campground. There are bear lockers provided for food and scented items. There are four vault toilets which are power washed daily. There is only space for one car per site but there is extra parking across the road. There are lots of hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and off road vehicle sites nearby. Your overnight camping fee includes day use at any CA state park the next day. The downside to camping here is that the clientele are some of the wildest riffraff of all time. This has been one of the quietest but also the noisest place I've ever camped. Last time I was here I kept hearing a pipe clinking right outside my tent at 3am. I was the only one there besides a huge family 5 sites away. I heard someone walk away, back a car up next to my site, walk back to my site, and start smoking again. It freaked me out so much I ended up blinding him with my flashlight while bolting to my car. I slept at a friend's house in Folsom and came back for my things the next day. So there are some weirdos around here for sure but the environment is very pretty.
ScoutQuiet clean campground with host. Some sites are by creek. Some by the road but the ride is higher up in elevation. There is a swim hole nearby. Road in is paved. Cool and convenient campground. There are separate grills in addition to fire rings.
TravelerClean, very well maintained but significant road noise
GuideWe spent the weekend here and camp host were great. Bathrooms were clean. 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. Other than that everything was great. Fishing was good. Clean camp.
GuideWe stayed here for one night and there were people up drinking and playing loud music until about 3am. Also, our fire pit was full of broken glass bottles, plastic bottles and empty beer cans from whoever had stayed the night before (embers were still burning when we arrived). There is no host here so I guess no one to really keep an eye on things. I wouldn’t count on getting a good nights sleep here, but the location is lovely.
GuideHookup campsites are demarcated by white powder on the ground. If you dont need hookups looks like you can go anywhere. We booked a site not realizing we ended up in the middle of a bluegrass teaching festival. Fortunately they moved us to another location that offered more solitude”. Bathroom clean and in good condition.
GuideI was worried at 1stvas there was a situation that was happening when arrive. Police were there surveying which made me feel safe. It was quite through the night. Lil Dude took advantage of the dog park.
ScoutConcrete pads newer campground. Heated pool, friendly staff. Shopping 1.5 miles away . Great local wineries in the area
