"Just know that here on The Dyrt, the location on the map for some reason shows it as being many miles away from Kidder Ct: it’s marked as if it is at Higgins Corner, halfway to Auburn?"
"Super clean and friendly
Not congested and close to many hiking trails Easy drive and close to Nevada City.
Especially nice during Christmas Season. Feels like walking back in time."
$42 - $53 / night
"This is a smaller but nice lake. It hasn’t ever been over crowded when I’ve gone. The reason I like this spot is because campsites C3-C10 have the most shade you can hope for!"
"They have a convenience store that is walkable distance to get supplies, food, candy from.
You should reserve a spot right on the lake. If you have a boat you can anchor it right in front."
$24 - $48 / night

"This river trail is the best in the state. Clear water, lovely pools. Expect nudity as it is Northern California. The river is beloved by kayakers and swimmers."
"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."
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.
TravelerSpent one night here. A little airplane noise, but tolerable. General vibe was a very quiet space. Lovely campground among the pine trees overlooking a small lake.
ScoutStayed here 7 months besides the constant nagging from maintenance… which I get… it’s nice and they wanna keep it that way. Overall great place to stay NOV-JUNE
