What Guests Are Saying
White Cloud is a clean and lovely campsite with well-maintained areas for tents and a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a getaway. While there is no water available (even non-potable) and the bathrooms occasionally lack supplies, many guests appreciated the clean vault toilets and the presence of friendly camp hosts. The site offers plenty of shade, access to nearby hiking trails, and a tranquil setting, making it a favorable choice for campers prepared for the limitations.

Very good campsite, nice and quiet despite being near the road. The only complaints I have are that there was a dog roaming the campground that was growling at our dogs (that we had on leashes the whole time). This dog would just make herself at home, continuously coming back to our campsite. We thought it was the hosts' dog at first but later saw the host on a golf cart with a separate dog and didn't see the first dog past the first day or two that we were there. The other thing that we saw was that there was a lot of broken glass in our campsite (mainly around the fire pit and bench area). This forced us to go through and pick up all the glass we could fine (despite continuously finding some through our whole trip) so we could let our dogs walk around the camp site. The construction during our stay was a pain as well. Running into town to grab one or two things (normally a 20 min drive) turned into at least an hour and a half because of the poorly placed stops (one of which being probably 100 feet from the entrance of the campsite, forcing us to stop for at least 15 minutes at a time just to get back into the campsite since they wouldn't just let us through).

We had a great time; the campsites were spotless as well as the restrooms. The camp host
was always working and cleaning the bathrooms.
Also enjoyed the education from Farrah a Nevada City Ranger who demonstrated wildlife
facts that we could hold and touch.

Big spaces. Make sure to bring water with you. Be aware of some sort of crickets that make noise

Solid campsite but right off the freeway. When we stayed there was no potable water. Would have rated higher if there were more hikes near the campsite.

This was a great campsite. Perfect for a large group. Had about 6 tables and 2 bear boxes. Right next to a restroom and water spigot. The restrooms are vault toilets. Very well kept, had zero smell at all even when inside. Yellow jackets like to hang out at the water spigot in the morning but they were harmless, we used it plenty of times. One drawbacks were the proximity to a highway. It sounded like an airplane was taking off at night whenever a truck zoomed by so sleep was difficult. Another issue was a random dog was roaming the grounds. Other campers said it belonged to the camp host and it is allowed to roam but it was unsettling around young children and seemed to want our food. It was very friendly but looked like a coyote at first. Also, the 15A parking spot was somewhat confusing. The 15B parking was much more straightforward.

No complaints. Bathrooms were clean and there was running water. Site was clean and quiet after 10. Drove about 20 minutes to Scott’s lake.

Well maintained Campground on a slight slope of a mature pine forest, with little vegetation between sites. If you need or at least want a bear cabinet beware that some sites do NOT have them.

Beautiful spot, but pack TP! The bathrooms didn't seem to be restocked that often.
