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.

This campground is going down hill. I’ve been camping here for many years and the past couple of years the outhouses have been out of control. Absolutely disgusting. Waste was stacked up so high and it smelled so bad. They do not have sanitation come clean out the waste tanks on a regular basis, that is evident. This issue has caused the worst fly problem in the campground I’ve ever encountered. I won’t be returning to this particular grounds until they see to regular trash removal of the grounds dumpsters, and the emptying of the outhouse tanks.

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

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.
