What Guests Are Saying

Fiddle Creek offers a clean, well-maintained, and spacious campground that provides an intimate experience with nature, close to the beautiful river and swimming spots. Families enjoy great memories here, though parking can be challenging and some sites may feel crowded. Visitors should be prepared for mosquitoes at sunset and note the absence of potable water and campfires, but overall, the experience is positive with friendly service and clean facilities.

Love this spot! So close to the river, and also the South Yuba River Bridge swimming spot. Wish there was more parking!
