"This campground is above Marysville California."

"There is a boat launch, and a pretty county park is adjacent."

Not congested and close to many hiking trails Easy drive and close to Nevada City.

ScoutConcrete pads newer campground. Heated pool, friendly staff. Shopping 1.5 miles away . Great local wineries in the area
RangerWe were in Sacramento to visit with family. Spent 4 nights mid week at Cal expo RV park. The campground is very flat. Part is concrete part is gravel. I found the campground to be very quiet during our stay and well maintained. Basically just a parking lot no frills. There are no picnic tables at your site. The shower house has a $20 deposit for a key. This is refunded on return of the key. Showers/ restrooms are average but clean. Overall a good place to park for a few nights. Sites have full hookups if you want them
ScoutClean and friendly staff.
Nice stop for showers, laundry and relaxation.
GuideIt was a nice place to stay in between a lot of trees. We stayed at the side close to the highway so it was a bit noisy but not too bad. The people were friendly! It was a bit too pricey though. We paid around 100 bucks for a normal site, nothing fancy.
A little side information: if you allergic to pollen, especially trees you should be careful at the moment. The campsites are directly located under mulberry trees. They triggered severe hay fever symptoms in me.
GuideCheap and convenient. The area is kind of sketchy, but it worked for one night and we didn't have any trouble. Looks like there's a lot of people there who are overstaying the allowed number of days.
ScoutThe RV park and cabins are private so can only be accessed via membership or introductory offer. Nice park with amenities and family oriented with nice swimming pool during May thru October
GuideSome friends of ours love North Fork Campground just off I-80 at Emigrant Gap, so we were going to try it on the way back from the California coast to Reno. North Fork Campground was nice, and would have been a good place to spend the night, but felt a bit dark and tight with dense foliage along the beginnings of the North Fork of the American River. We saw that Onion Valley Campground was just a bit further. Nobody there, so we took a spot at the far end of the campground next to the meadow. Very peaceful for a short afternoon stop and a morning departure.
GuideWe visited this camp ground last year for a pre-spring getaway and really liked it. Tried it again this week, and it was great again. About 3 weeks later in March than last year so there were a few more people. The grass is green, and the leaves are out on all the oak trees which makes it more beautiful. Everyone else was on the loop near the shore. We picked a site away from everyone else at the other end of the campground with a stunning view over the lake. Highly recommended for a spring visit.
TravelerWe travel for work and had to book last minute, Bruce was/is extremely nice and helpful! Super laid back and willing to help in anyway, we couldn’t be more happy with the customer service here. The sites are a little tight but not bad at all and each one has a privacy fence and small concrete pad. Will absolutely stay here again. Also while setting up, every person that walked by said hi and welcome! We have never experienced that much friendliness in a campground.
