    Fillmore KOA

    Comfortable, quiet and accessible

    This, as a KOA Journey, is a great place to stay “along the way.” Spaces are level and have a nice, grassy area between sites with a picnic bench & fire pit. The surrounding area is scenic with cows in pasture and a mountain backdrop. We only stayed a single night and did not use any amenities. WiFi was very weak but the hookups are in good condition. We really appreciated the grounds with trees and grass. The staff we encountered were very friendly. Fillmore has some neat gems to scout out. The freeway is close by so access is a cinch, but the grounds are far enough away to be void of any road noise. When we arrived, the wind was consistently 45+ mph.... not sure if this is an extraordinary occurrence but the map says wind picks up frequently and to store your things. Multiple gas stations nearby with excellent prices. Lots of ATV/OHV paths around the area. A single night allowed for us to explore a little and feel rested. Would definitely return!

    Relaxing and Fun

    I never knew there was so much to do in Fillmore. We visited the hot springs and lava tunnels. Kids had a blast. The KOA pool and spa were great. Sites are very close together and not all sites that say have a fire pit actually do.

    Painted Rocks Campground — Yuba State Park

    Yuba Lake State Park

    CAUTION: See GPS Coordinates so that you do not enter on the muddy dirt road like we did. Google maps took us to the park but an uninviting entrance to the park. Elevation 5,069 at site PR01. Painted Rock Campground. Cows had visited our site and left large pods before we arrived. There was a dump station. Our site had water and electric. The restrooms were just OK. Weather ranged in the 40s and 70s.

    Palisade State Park Campground

    Busy, Loud Park

    If you're looking for solitude, drive up a canyon road and skip Palisade State Park. It's loud and busy most days of the week in the summer. If you're bringing a group this might be your spot. The lake is nice and the trails around the lake are good for running, 4-wheeling and exploring.

    Fillmore KOA

    Best KOA we’ve ever seen!

    We were hesitant to camp at a KOA because we prefer something more remote but this one was perfection. Near the highway(not close enough to hear anything) but backed up to the most beautiful mountains to watch the clouds roll in. Large grassy sites, full hookups, pool, bathrooms and free showers. Fire pits and picnic tables. Quiet. Surpringly hardly any kids. We loved this spot. We walked in with no reservations.

    Painted Rocks Campground — Yuba State Park

    Clean and Quiet

    We stayed here for one night on a road trip. We chose site 15 having never been here before because it was close to a restroom and we have a toddler. During our stay there was only one other person in the campground and it was quiet.

    We arrived and set up camp at sunset. It couldn’t have been more spectacular. The view of Yuba Lake was great and the site itself was really nice. The shade shelter, tent pad, and table were very well taken care of and clean.

    It was a bit windy (our site was on a hill overlooking the lake) so we didn’t really have a campfire but the sky was so dark you could see thousands of stars.

    We will definitely be back!

    Fillmore KOA

    Beautiful Mountain Views

    Quiet little KOA, off the highway enough it was very serene. Each spot has a nice grass area. Laundry and bathhouses were in great shape.

    Fillmore KOA

    Perfect place for a nights rest

    Nice little spot right off the highway. The man at the front was very welcoming, guiding everyone to their spot. Was able to book a res after closing hours which is always nice to be spontaneous. The place had everything we needed which was truly just a spot to sleep and bathrooms were very clean so I give 5 stars

    Fillmore KOA

    Nice Campground

    I-15 noise. Tent campers a good set of noise canceling ear buds will take care of it. Quiet campground meaning no people running around shouting and partying. Clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Gave me a tent site that had nice privacy from rest of campground with plenty of trees and bushes.
