We loved staying here. We found it very quiet and peaceful. We found the site was well tended-to, though the host wasn't on site the restroom was serviced several times a day. One single-stall restroom for the whole site might be a bit grim if the site had been full, but when we stayed, it wasn't a problem.
We hiked to Sierra Buttes (walkable straight from your campsite if you don't mind the extra mile!) and did the Bear Lakes Loop near Gold Lake, both excellent. We plan to return - we feel like we picked a real winner with this site!
FYI: Site 5, next to the creek, seems like the best for that lovely waterfall sound if you like it, while also being further from the road (which has decent traffic at all hours headed up the road to the next campground). We stayed in 9, nearby the entrance and restroom, not too close to the road and lots of flat spots for setup.

Campsite number six is very small mostly consisting of dirt roadway. Only one decent spot for a tent

Mid-week in late August and we were the only campers at Berger Campground. It was a very quite three days! The bathroom was clean and the facilities tidy.
Woke to a flat tire the first morning and no cell reception, but the folks a Basset's Station were wonderful. We were able to make the call to AAA, have a cup of coffee, and await the arrival of roadside assistance. Took about two hours for them to make the trip from Grass Valley and to put on my spare, but we still had time to climb the Buttes that afternoon!

No sign saying we were even at Berger.
Sites were a mess.
