What Guests Are Saying

Grasshopper Flat offers a beautiful, well-maintained campground with friendly hosts, particularly praised for their helpfulness and knowledge of the area. The clean facilities and peaceful atmosphere make it ideal for family camping, though visitors should be aware of bear activity and the lack of bear boxes. Some campsites are closely spaced, and parking rules can be strict, but overall, guests find the experience relaxing and enjoyable.

We love the group campsite. However two different people in our group had issues and felt the campsite manager was rude to them. Also they apparently told the people in our campsite they could stay longer than checkout time - so we had to wait to check in .

Amazing!!! One of the most beautiful places to hike! This is a dog friendly trail. One of the most scenic trails I've taken. This is a very long hike if you do the entire loop (9 mi!). There are placards along your way to give some great educational value to your trip. Be aware that there are some areas that are very steep. This hike should not be taken lightly. I would recommend this hike only if you are fit. There is a great view of the dome rock along the way. There are so many plants and animals to be seen along the way. We spotted many plants and flowers that we could identify, as well as a whole lot of large reddish colored salamanders in the rivers. There are huge banana slugs on the path. There are many water falls and creeks that you pass on your way to the main attraction. At the end Feather Falls is absolutely breath taking!! Well worth all the exercise! We will be returning.

Beautiful drive up the Feather River on our way to High Sierra Music festival. So many neat places to stop along the way. Great swimming holes with amazing views. Love the tunnels and the railroad tracks that follows Hwy 70.
