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.

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.
