What Guests Are Saying
White Cloud campsite is praised for its cleanliness, ample shade, and well-maintained areas for tent setup. Campers appreciated the presence of a helpful camp host and enjoyed activities like hiking and visiting nearby sights. However, notable downsides include the lack of water, inconsistent bathroom cleanliness, and close proximity to noisy sites, which some found disruptive. Overall, many expressed a desire to return for another stay.

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.

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.

- 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.
