Its alot better than the other campground. The river winds its way into the lake here with ample boulders to jump off & explore. Great kayaking or float tubes. It was near empty mid week. The camp host keeps campsites and restrooms very clean

Beautiful campground. Even has flushing toilets.
Only thing to be aware of is the site sizes are slightly off and cannot accommodate trailers in all the sites.

The French Meadows recreation area, the American River, and Granite Chief Wilderness are one of California's hidden gems. Great beauty, remote wilderness, butterflies, massive trees and ferns, river flows swollen with snow melt, an immense reservoir with clear cold water and a generally lay back vibe. There are plenty of camping sites in this zone, and they're often quite beautiful, most of them require reservations, but some are first-come. This site was great. But I'm giving the overall experience four instead of five stars because of the loud, lewd, and obnoxious behavior of the fully adult campers next to our site. Note to camp host: why post 10pm noise ordinance if there's no enforcement? Notw to fellow campers: why come to the wilderness only to spoil it for others?

First time to this campground and I really liked it. It is pretty remote and quite the drive to reach the area but it's beautiful and worth the effort. I did have a somewhat unpleasant experience when I got there as our site that I reserved had people in it. They had been there the day before and decided to stay longer and didn't bother to tell anyone. When I spoke to the campground host he didn't even know I had a reservation, he didn't have updated information. Fortunately, we grabbed another site that was not occupied and it was actually way better then what I reserved but still a little annoying that no one is really monitoring it. Either way, it's a beautiful campground with great access to the lake. Our site was very big and had pretty good privacy.

Quite place to camp. The campgrounds have lots of cut down trees and haven't been cleared. The water is really far from the campground and you have to pay to park in addition to paying to camp.
