What Guests Are Saying
White Cloud offers a beautiful and peaceful camping experience with spacious sites, free firewood, and nearby access to trails and Lake Tahoe. However, many reviews highlight the lack of potable water and unmaintained bathrooms during recent visits. Despite these drawbacks, campers express a desire to return, appreciating the scenic surroundings and overall tranquility of the location.

Really well located campsite. I was able to mountain bike with my brother easily right from the camp with 20+ miles of track. You can just as easily hike it on foot just watch our for bikes. My dog was able to even go off leash with me on the trail very easily.
Sites are close to the road, but the sound really isn't that bad. No close swimming areas to walk to, but you can easily drive to Scotts Flats or anywhere on the South Yuba River to swim at. So within 15-30 minutes.
Running water as well as clean bathrooms during our stay. Met the best local resident, Winona, on our trip. She is a pup who gets to wander the camp area whenever she pleases since she lives nearby. As a heads up she woke my husky and I up at 4:30am to play. Couldn't stay mad at her after she did the most adorable belly rolls. She ended up hanging out at our campsite for a good portion of the day and even went on the trail with us. 10/10 would definitely come back to hangout with Winona!!

Fantastic campground. The hosts were fantastic, bear box was clean, and bathrooms were also clean. The campsite was quite dusty with red dirt, more than usual campsites.

Good spacing between campsites, and plenty of access to clean vault toilets and water. Definitely can hear road noise from adjacent highway. Proximity to awesome trail.

Everything was great, nice big campsites, nice fire rings, but no flushing toilets. That being said they did clean the bathrooms daily.

Policies & Rules
General
- Fire restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions, at which time campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed. For current fire conditions or weather closures contact the Yuba River Ranger District (530) 288-3231 (voice), (530) 288-3656 (TDD).
- In accordance with standard industry practices, Tahoe National Forest will assess an additional $5 vehicle fee per day for the second vehicle in each single family campsite, and on the third and fourth vehicle in any double family campsite, provided these vehicles are not joined to the first vehicle by a hitch and towed onto the site. In the case of motorcycles, the first two are considered one vehicle, and the third and fourth motorcycle are also considered one vehicle. No additional vehicle fees are collected for bicycles.
- Click here for more information on the Tahoe National Forest
- Don't Move Firewood: Protect California's forests from tree-killing pests by buying your firewood locally and burning it on-site. For more information visit firewood.ca.gov.
- A no-show customer is one who does not arrive at a campground and does not cancel the reservation by check-out time on the day after the scheduled arrival date (or for day-use facilities, by check-in time the day of arrival). * No-show customers are only recorded at staffed facilities. At most remote facilities, all customers are noted as automatically checked-in on the date of arrival. * It is recommended that staffed facilities hold a campsite until check-out time on the day following the arrival date. * It is recommended that staffed facilities hold group day-use facilities until check-in time on the arrival date. There is no change fee if a customer extends or shortens a reservation if the change includes dates from the original reservation. If they choose to depart early, they may forfeit some or all of the recreation fees. There is no change fee if the customer changes campsites that are the same price and on the same reservation dates in the same campground. If the campsite the customer is changing to has a price difference, the customer will be responsible for any additional fees or be provided with a refund, based on the price difference. Where recorded, no-show customers are assessed a $20.00 no-show fee and forfeit the first night's recreation fee for a campsite or forfeit the entire day-use recreation fee for a day-use facility. We recommend customers contact the facility if they are en route to their reservation but cannot make it by the check-in date. In these cases, no refund will be issued, but the facility can ensure that a "no-show" fee is not assessed.
