Fiddle Creek has nice shady campsites, and brilliant access to the Yuba river. Really the only complaint I have was that, 2 years ago, only one of the two bathrooms was working. It was busy weekend, and it really was most unpleasant to only have one bathroom.

Too crowded, and no regard for a reasonable quiet time ( after 10 pm). The grounds were unkempt. It seems this campground year after year becomes less and less pleasant.

great spot on a beautiful river and close to Downieville. These are not drive up campsites, have to carry gear from parking lot.
