Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Crescent Mills, CA

WOW, this place is super nice. Kid friendly with activities and play areas. Pet park for off leash play! Clean and friendly staff! #1 park in our book!

Surprised how well maintained and friendly staff assisting with set up. Nice dog large area without enclosed fencing. All short term campers are located in the center very cozy. Lots of families and kids and noisy. We were able to ride bike in the park and on the road that was safe with little to no traffic. Several grass areas for guest minus pets. The perimeter areas are for permanent residence with several for sale. So no chance of getting some nice sites. A number of tiny cottages to rent. The railroad tracks along side of park and loud in early hours you got use to it. Will return but off season when kids are back in school. Also no access to creek from park. Recommend very clean park

Trash everywhere, water disgusting. Horrible what people do. Need high clearance or 4wd messed up my little car. I wouldn't even let my dog out the car

My wife and I and two dogs stayed at campsite 51. Wonderful site with hook ups. easy to find and loved the proximity to the PCT.

Peaceful and quiet with lots of trees. Laundry and showers. Great place for dogs. Hiking and lakes nearby. The owners are really nice people that will assist you when help is needed. They do not put up with those that break the rules.

One of our favorite places to camp. It is FCFS so we always head up on Thursday afternoon to get a spot! The pups love it here. Site 6 is great because it has its own water access which our dogs loved!!

RV, Camper, Tent, and hammocks within few yards from creek. But get to sleep right next to the creek. And wake up to it with beautiful forests. Bring tube and rope! You will thanks me. Dog MUST be on leashed.

Stayed here with out two dogs, they had a blast running around camp. In the middle of summer, there were only a handful of other campers here. Very quiet and peaceful. Gale the campground host is very kind. Bathrooms well stocked and cleanly. Highly recommend. Sites come with table and fire ring. No bear boxes but no bear problems.

Great campsite, plenty of room to throw the ball for our dog. The never ending sound of the nearby river was peaceful. Less than 50% capacity for Halloween weekend, but certainly a popular spot for hunters, bikers, and off roaders to spot by and use the bathrooms. If you walk across highway 49, you can explore the river; the water was cold, but there were lots of frogs and skipping rocks.

The campsite was very easy to find, but also very secluded. When we arrived, only 3 other sites were taken. We met a very kind older woman who had been there a while & said that not many people know this place exists, so it doesn’t get very busy. The campsite was well kept. We had a picnic table, campfire & plenty of trees for our hammocks. I left my dog’s food out one afternoon & a chipmunk got to it but other than that, we had no issues with wildlife!

Gold Lake is a gem with spectacular views all around you.  The sites are not available for reservations so you will need to get there mid week to get a prime spot.  Sites 17-24 are my favorite with beautiful views of the lake.  Dogs are allowed as long as they are on a leash.  There are great trails to hike all over Lakes Basin with spectacular views of many different lakes.  There are also an off-road vehicle campsites.  Gold Lake itself is one of the largest in the Basin that allows motorized boats.  I would highly recommend this lake for kayakers and hikers, during off season it is extremely peaceful.

Impressed with clean sites and tall pine trees. A very clean RV park and friendly staff. Call for reservations as its popular. Some lower sites had concrete pads for the provided table. Several seasonal private modular homes among the RVer. Secured large dog area with running creek within walking distance. A number of lower RV spaces within walking pathways to creek. Most were 30 amps and upper level had some 50 amps. Lots of back ends and pull throughs. Visitors must walk to the trash designated area fenced in with recycling bins. Only one bathroom building that housed laundry room. Shower stall in women’s area .50cent for 20 minutes and 2 toilet stalls that the door hits your knees a very weird old bathroom. We enjoyed the park and plan to return again.

This RV only campground is quite small. The lower level is completely gravel with some great trees. However, it can get quite hot. We were in sight 11 and from sunup till 5pm we were in total sun. There are a few that have shade all day though. The camp hosts are a delightful couple, very helpful but not intrusive. Mike is excellent at directing even the largest trailer into a sight. The Yuba River is a short hike away with a great swimming hole. Wonderful in those hot afternoons. The campground has free WiFi and a bathroom with showers. This campground is in town so it’s only a short walk (uphill) to the market or restaurant. Close by are several lakes where the fishing is fabulous. This is a dog friendly campground however they do not allow what they consider vicious breeds. So be sure to check if you are allowed to bring them. My MaKenna was not allowed as she is a GDS.

Schoolhouse campground is on Bullard’s Bar Reservoir. The reservoir is gorgeous to look out at but the bank all the way around is very steep. From the campground there is no easy access to the water. We were looking forward to spending some time in the water but learned that we could only do that by renting a boat. If you have a boat or want to rent a boat this reservoir is perfect. If you want walk up access to the water while camping, this is not the campsite for you. The campground had flush toilets, large bear bins, dogs were allowed, and was lovely all around. The grounds were well maintained and had access to walking trails. The closest store was at Collins Lake up the road where they also sold firewood. The camp host was not very accommodating for fire wood at Schoolhouse. I would go back to Schoolhouse if I wanted to rent a boat!
