    Thousand Trails Snowflower

    SUP and kayak friendly

    we found there to be a lot of rules at this campground such as no fires, however there is a community fire pit. No driving over 5 MPH, no charcoal grills or smokers, only electric and propane grills. They are also very serious about the 11pm quiet time.

    Aside from all the rules this was a very clean, family and pet friendly campground. Very clean bathrooms with showers!! There are a few lakes that are very nice for fishing and kayaking. Nice calm water for a leisurely SUP experience.

    Tahoe Valley Campground

    Overall an ok experience

    I’ll start by saying this campsite is huge , there’s like 400 sites so you got to keep that in mind when booking . We got a couple of the sites with electricity which were nice . No fire pits included because those are rented additional , lucky we had one from home . Firewood is $10 a bundle at the store so keep that in mind . The campground advertises WiFi but it’s ran from an separate company and service is extremely poor and slow so your better of using your cellphone data . This is a very active bear area with no bear boxes so keep in mind . We saw bears every single night roaming around and eating from the picnic tables . Some small , medium and extra large size . I recommend the tent sites better than the RV sites because they have a nice location and more private . The RV sites are just packed like sardines , some barely fit or stick out a few inches . Restrooms are clean and showers too . Funny detail the shower head is positioned for ADA handicap specs so you got to kneel down or seat to shower . The campground is located on the Main Street so it’s walking distance to stores or restaurants , I would go back but choose a better site on an outside loop more secluded instead of being in the middle of hundreds of rv’s

    Desolation Hotel - Hope Valley

    Great location & amenities

    This is a privately owned Resort with cabins, yurts, campsites, etc close to a super awesome river and with lots of great amenities, including a cafe/store, sauna, trails and a restaurant. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I didn't love the site itself that we were in especially with a $60 price tag. It was great to be close to the river, but the site was small and on a hill like a lot of them were. There were cheaper sites but I didn't see what those were like. Otherwise, we had fun playing in the water, using the sauna and having access to great amenities before going into more primitive camping. There was a fire ban while we were there, and there is NO SMOKING anywhere on their property. Everyone that worked there was super friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

    American River Resort

    Family of 4 roof top tent camping

    Nice campground - close to river. .5 mile walk to town for shopping/eating. All sites have fire pit and picnic table. Bathrooms clean and private showers. A little pricey for a tent site - 45.00 and 5.00 for the dog but it’s California.

    Rancho Seco Recreation Area

    All types of fun !

    I love this place because it is about 45 minutes from the house.  There's plenty to do with lots of great sites.  The first time we went, they didn't have any annual passes because they lady was out that day. But the other day, we were able to finally get a season pass.  You can fish, hike, or swim here. The campsites are spacious and you don't feel over crowded if there is a family next to you. It's pet friendly. The store was recently redone and they offer a wide variety of items, from keep sakes to any necessity you may have forgotten ( lighter, logs, clothes shoes, etc... )  There also boat rental that are a fair price, plus you get them for an hour or so. ( You will have to check the prices and availability. ) There's a dog park for the dogs to roam free off the leash, which also has access to water/ beach area for the dogs only.

    49er Village RV Resort

    Convenient to area wineries

    General: This is a HUGE RV park (a Sun Resort) with back-in, pull-through sites, and cabins. We called a day ahead to see if there was room and on a weekday in early May, there was plenty of availability. We even received a Spring Flash Sale (40% off) rate which, although more than we usually spend to camp, was reasonable. As is typical of RV parks, there is a small patch of lawn between sites but virtually no privacy. There are trees throughout the park and although it is located right on the road, only the sites that back up to the road hear road noise. There is a small pond in the center and we saw some ducks. All camping sites have full hook-ups and a picnic table but no fire ring or grill. There is a large laundry room and a café. We were assigned a site at check-in. 

    Site Quality: Pads are paved and level. The back-in sites in the center back up to each other with no divider between them. I saw several large RVs look almost like they were touching! 

    Bathhouse: Two bathhouses each with three stalls, two sinks, and two showers. Although there is a curtain separating the showers from the rest of the bathroom, the bench is outside of the shower stalls, which could be awkward. However, in the time we were there, I never saw a single person in the bathroom(assuming most people use their own bathrooms in their RVs). The shower had good water pressure and hot water.

    Activities: There is a pool, playground, rec center. Shuffleboard, horseshoes, and beach volleyball. It is a half-mile around the perimeter, so I was able to enjoy a short run.

    This is not our usual type of camping experience, but since we met friends at a nearby winery, this worked for us since we did not want to drive far.

    Fallen Leaf Campground - South Lake Tahoe

    Beautiful campground

    Sites have lots of space, table, fire ring and generally level drive pads. Water spigots are not too far. Showers scattered throughout camp though not every bathroom has them. There is a small camp store that has wifi. Book far in advance to get a spot in summer.

Guide to Grizzly Flats

Cabins near Grizzly Flats, California sit at elevations between 3,500-5,000 feet in the western Sierra Nevada foothills. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing while summer days reach 85-95°F. Most rental cabins cluster along Highway 50 and Highway 49 corridors, providing access to American River recreation and Gold Country exploration.

What to do

Whitewater activities at American River: The South Fork offers Class II-III rapids with rafting options at American River Resort. "I stayed here for a spontaneous mid-week campout and was impressed. Access to the river, a nice store, and friendly customer service," notes one visitor. Watching skilled kayakers navigate the Troublemaker rapid provides entertainment from shore during summer months.

Gold panning history lessons: Coloma Resort provides gold panning experiences just minutes from cabin accommodations. "If you ever want to experience the thrill of gold panning, and California history go here! You will not strike it rich, but with a couple hours of effort you can get a nice little bottle of gold flakes to take home with you," reports one visitor. Guided instruction available during summer weekends.

Seasonal hiking at giant sequoias: North Grove Campground features trails through massive sequoia groves 45 minutes from Grizzly Flats. "The energy from these trees is electric. The enormity and smell of the forest is enchanting. Highly recommend morning hikes because the fresh smell of a dewy morning and the sun piercing through the trees is magical," writes one visitor. Most trails remain open year-round though snow closures occur December-March.

What campers like

Mountainside swimming options: Multiple resort properties maintain pools as alternatives to river swimming. "We stayed here on an off week. Almost had the place to ourselves except for the full timers. The amenities were not open...off season and/or COVID...but we went and took a look and got a thumbs up by our 7 year old daughter. The place looks great for a summer stay!" reports one visitor about Gold Country Campground Resort.

Fishing access with stocked ponds: Several properties maintain fishing ponds stocked seasonally with trout. "We stayed 4 days at this park and had the best time!! The kids loved the stocked fishing ponds," notes a visitor to 49er Village RV Resort. Most cabin properties allow fishing from shore without requiring licenses for children under 16.

Winter accessibility: Multiple cabin locations maintain year-round operations despite seasonal snow. "We used the spot to not be in the snow but make the trip up to Iron Mountain Sno-Park...a 45 minute drive. The snow looked great for skiing but not so much for snowmen or sledding," notes one visitor about winter cabin stays in the region.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Coverage varies dramatically across the region. "No cell service, but close to a main road where service can be found," notes one visitor about Fallen Leaf Campground. Most cabin locations maintain limited WiFi near office buildings but not within individual cabins.

Bear-aware requirements: Properties enforce strict food storage rules. "You really need to pay attention to your food. Bears are not just possible here, they are likely," cautions one visitor. Most cabins include indoor refrigeration but outdoor cooking requires additional precautions with food storage.
