Sycamore Ranch RV Park

This sweet little campsite has so much to offer. In the spring everything is so green and the ecosystem is really thriving. Great Blue Herons with a rookery across the stream, osprey flying overhead, birds everywhere, various fish, just so much to soak in but then the weekend comes and our experience completely soured so we packed up with 2 days left on our paid reservation. Inconsiderate campers (a birthday party with a blow-up funhouse with the squeal sound that never ends and kids screaming, cars everywhere) but no camp host to be found to ask what the heck is going on and how long will it continue? Not only this but we were charged twice, shared with the office the two receipts and the lady can’t understand the problem. Oh, my.

We live just up the road (Nevada City) yet we ignored this campground for years thinking it was full of trailer trash. But years ago Yuba County did a great job of cleaning this place up and putting in hookups and paving the campground and adding irrigation systems that keep the grass green all year long.

My favorite thing about this campground is the birds! I use the Merlin app to identify the birds here and so far this place holds my record of around 18 birds not including the more silent ones we saw. There are turtles and otters in the creek to check out as well. 

The camp host (Jan The Man) is the best camp host ever!

Weekdays are the best when there are few people but on weekends it does fill up. We did camp one time and some folks were having a karaoke party late into the night (somehow I suspect they will never be back). Usually everyone's respectful and its a great place to be.

Very clean campground with a helpful host. Bathrooms/showers for paid guest have a code to get in. The day use area has porta potties. This place is dark at night so really good for star watching.

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 were tent camping, but each site had a nice, flat, paved parking pad and hookups. The facilities- including pay-showers - were very clean & in fabulous shape. There is a boat launch, and a pretty county park is adjacent. I took advantage of the water and after getting shuttled up to the bridge kayaked down the Yuba and up dry creek all the way to our campsite!

Went camping for a night for my honey moon it was fun nice place great price cannt wait to go again

Really pretty campground. 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. The campground is along Dry Creek, which isn't dry but is covered in some sort of green stuff (not algae). We saw a river otter playing in the creek, so there is life in it. The bathrooms are pretty clean and you have to pay for showers (which we didn't use) Portapotties are located in the campground, not sure why, maybe the restrooms are too far away? All in all, a nice stop.

This is such a beautiful piece of California. It is clean and well maintained my daughter who is 5 loved writing her hoverboard around the entire park there are lots of kids to play with and the caretaker and his family were super welcoming and professional. It is really relaxing and refreshing
