At the time I went they wouldn’t let us have a fire. It was also pretty empty. Bathrooms are very spread out and a trek. Wouldn’t recommend for tent camping!

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties—some include small refrigerators and microwaves while others provide only basic cooking surfaces. "Very small kitchen and small fridge. Bring extra ice chests," advises one cabin guest.

Nice place if you can get a reservation
Super popular spot. A little tight if you have a larger trailer or motorhome. Plenty of trees for shade.

Adaline J.TravelerNevada Beach Campground and Day Use Pavilion
Pretty area & nice beach!
Nice campground with a dog-friendly beach! The hosts said bears frequent the area, but we didn't see any. Our campsite was very peaceful and quiet.

Stole our money!
Made reservations to stay at the lakeside hotel.
Was so excited for our first stay at Richardson Campground.
Unfortunately, had to cancel as my Mother had a stroke. Attempted to cancel two weeks before our reservations…… They refused to cancel and to refund our money. Out $450! Not a small amount.
Disappointed. Angry. Disgusted.

Beautiful cared for campground
It’s hard to get a reservation, but it’s worth it if you can. Beautiful sites, decent showers, lovely staff. Recommend!
Brook L.ScoutRancho Seco Recreation Area
Rancho Stinko
This park is completely understaffed, and the staff they do have are short and rude when talked to. Leaches in the water, goose poop all on beach area along with trash and dirty diapers. Management is never to be seen and the store they have is never open. Restrooms had poop on walls, birds in the bathroom, toilet paper everywhere. They constantly have water problems. They have an abundance of wasps also.
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.
