After initially assigning us a space that would not fit our camper. Re-assigned when we pointed out the issue. Recommend large units in pull thru. It is a dirt bike/quad toy playground. A little dustier than a normal campground, if you want a clean parking lot type campground - don't camp here. Non-paved spaces and trees make it more natural. No problem with low branches for us. Dirt bike rides were fun up into the mountains. Wife, 9yr old and 12 yr old and I had fun. Nothing too challenging - mostly fire roads. Explore up into high sierra lakes - we brought swim suits and had fun. Certain trails get fairly rocky, but not too bad. Watch for 4x4 trucks, etc. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at this park after they reopened it, after being closed for several years. The new owners said they were going to fix it up. The only change I see is that the prices have continued to raise and no maintenance has been done to the park. Very low voltage on the hookups. Very dusty. this park could be great with some cleaning up and maintenance. Owners only seem to care about making money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground. The shady pine trees and creek give it a nice atmosphere. There is a park and softball field. The amenities could be cleaned up and better maintained, but overall I would camp there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The condition of this park can be described as neglected or in a state of "arrested decay." While there may be hundreds of campsites in the park, it appears that many of the sites have been abandoned and are not maintained. The park is very popular with ATV users. There is direct access to Tahoe National Forest from the park via ATV. With the opening a hunting season, there were also a lot of hunters staying at the campground. The roar from traffic on I-80 was extremely loud despite having a site in the back. Trees need trimming, limbs too low. Staff did not respond to our request for trimming around our rig. Also, mid-week when the entire park was virtually empty, we came back to our rig after a day out and had a Class A right in the site next to us despite the entire loop being empty! We camped in Loop H. I won't go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The good: Beautiful location close to fork of Yuba River and OHV trails. Some decent sites, but you have to know where to look. Many good recreation opportunities. We took our dirt bikes and had great rides way back into the Sierras to various lakes and streams, where we fished and picnicked. Also, there's a good swimming spot on the river to cool off after riding. The bad: The park is falling apart at the seams. Way too much deferred maintenance. Its kind of depressing, this park has such incredible, natural potential and to see it so underutilized is sad. Freeway noise is a problem at the lower sites, try to find a site way to the back of the park, in the full hookup area adjacent to the OHV trail head. We'll go again, because of the great trails and natural beauty of the Sierras, but it would be great if they'd spend some money on this place! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, former Thousand Trails campground. Could use some updating and cleaning but overall a pleasant experience. ATV and 4-wheel drive access from the park though it isn't a nuisance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
