We stayed here for three nights. Two of those nights were during the week. Friday night had a completely different vibe- lots of parties and loud music. Note on the map that site 7 looks like it is on the river. It is not, but 7A is. We stayed at 7A which had zero shade, but did have access to the swimming hole. Our kids loved this campground. The swimming hole was awesome. This campsite is about 15 minutes from Downieville.
This campground is nothing special- definitely not worth the $50.00 they charged. However, if you are tired and need a place to stop next to a river this place does the trick. There were several other people here- mostly to fly fish. There is one campground before the resort and several on the left hand side after the resort. You need to check-in and pay at the resort first. As a side note we did see a momma bear and her two cubs at dusk just across the river.
