Got here on a Friday late afternoon and found a walk in spot close to the lake. Nice, quiet campground. However, it was raining while we were there which probably had an impact on the number of people (only 3 of 12 sites were occupied). Facilities were clean. Close drive to Emerald Pools on the Yuba River. No drinking water available, unless you purify your own from the lake.

Arrived on late afternoon Wednesday and there were plenty of primitive spots available (can’t speak to hook ups). The lake is really clean and lovely, with lush grass and greenery all around. Great spot for birds—saw multiple heron, egret and hawks.

Agree with the other reviews that the sites are rather close together so it could feel a bit crowded during busier times. I luckily didn’t have any occupants in the neighboring sites.

The only downside is you can hear the cars/trucks from highway 85. It’s not highly trafficked so this wasn’t a big deal.

As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe here.
