3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Thousand Trails Lake of the Springs RV Resort provides full hookup sites for motorhome travelers near Oregon House. The park features water and electric connections with thirty-amp service, though large rig access is limited on some interior roads. "Clean and Rustic. WiFi is very very limited - drive to top of hill or lodge (very sporadic)," according to a visitor who appreciated the amenities despite connectivity challenges. Lake Francis Resort accommodates big rigs with fifty-amp electrical hookups, sewer, and water connections, while Sycamore Ranch RV Park in Browns Valley offers electric and water hookups without sewer connections. Most RV sites in the region include picnic tables, and the majority of parks maintain shower facilities and sanitary dump stations.
Seasonal variations affect RV camping options throughout the area. South Yuba Campground operates from April to mid-October, while several other parks remain open year-round.

Some parks feature gravel parking pads that may require leveling blocks. Many campgrounds welcome pets, though specific restrictions may apply. When approaching Dutch Flat RV Resort or parks in the higher elevations, RV drivers should prepare for mountain driving conditions. Most parks offer reservable sites, though summer weekends typically fill quickly, especially at waterfront locations.
"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."
"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."
from $15 / night
"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."
"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."
from $40 - $100 / night
"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."
"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."
"It was not busy, there was on other occupied campsite not to close to where we were. It has water, bathrooms and a bear box. Beautiful trees and clean sites."
"The campground itself is pretty standard, sites are decent size, and lots of shade. There is a path down to the Yuba River, where you can get in the water or float on a tube. "

"Our site had several old rugs and leveling Timbers left behind, for example. Most sites are neither flat nor level, but close enough to get level. The setting is magnificent."
"Thousand Trails Lake Minden Tiny Park, Giant Heart
We spent three weeks at Lake Minden and, to be honest, judged it too quickly."
"This is a Thousand trails camp ground. Its has a small (very small) lake. Good fishing for fun."
GuideFriendly staff and a camp host selling firewood. Clean flush toilets and hot showers for 50 cents. A little difficult to find a level spot for a van in the dry camping area, and most spots were right on the side of the road. It would be more enjoyable if one could pull off into the dirt area for level spots out of the main drag.
ScoutClean, well managed and great location. Can walk to historic downtown.
ScoutFirst ever RV use. Has good water and power, toilets and one shower that I didn’t test. Cost $58 usd.

RangerVery 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.
TravelerIncredible 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.
RangerWe got a full hookup 50 amp back in site next to the trout pond. Sites are level and the park is easy to navigate. Park has laundry, showers and a dump station with water fill. Walking distance to grocery and dining. Access to hike/bike trails. Although close to highway the back of the campground was pretty quiet.
RangerI 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.
GuideA 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.
